Detailed
Description		    Responsa and Bet Din decree by R. Ya’acov ibn Zur and R. Judah b. Attar.

R. Ya’acov ibn Zur (signs Yavetz), (1673–1752), rabbi, scholar, and holy man was born in Fez. Among his teachers were R. Menahem Serero and R. Vidal Zarfati. Oppressive taxation induced the Yavetz to move to Meknes, where he became a member of the bet din of R. Judah ibn Attar (the uncle and teacher of the Ohr Ha’Chaim Ha’Kodesh).
