Description
R. Sason b. Mordecai Shindookh (1747–1830) was born in Baghdad, and became well known as a rabbi and kabbalist, a poet and preacher, and especially as the author of many works in the field of traditional and mystical Jewish studies. The poems that he composed were both of a religious and secular nature and some are didactic. They were written in the rhyme of Spanish-Hebrew poetry. Some of his piyyutim were included in siddurim and in books of piyyutim in the Babylonian rite. He also served as the permanent hazzan of the Great Synagogue in Baghdad. He was a practicing kabbalist, and became the subject of legends. His published works include: Imrei Sason (Baghdad, 1891); Devar Beito (2 parts, Leghorn, 1862, 1864); Kol Sason (Leghorn, 1859); Sadeh Lavan (Jerusalem, 1904); and Tehillah le-David (Baghdad, 1892). He also wrote many works which are extant in manuscript.
