R. Abraham Abele Ben Hayyim Ha-Levi Gombiner, (c. 1637–1683), Polish rabbi. After the death of his parents during the Chmielnicki massacres of 1648, Abraham left his birthplace, Gombin. In 1655 he went to Lithuania, and there studied with his relative, Jacob Isaac Gombiner. Later he went to Kalisz, where he was appointed head of the yeshivah and dayyan of the bet din. R. Abraham is best known for his Magen Avraham (Dyhernfurth, 1692), a commentary on the Shulhan Arukh Orah Hayyim, highly esteemed throughout Poland and Germany by scholars who followed it in their halakhic decisions, at times against the opinions of other codifiers. In his work R. Abraham reveals his acumen, depth of insight, and comprehensive knowledge of the entire halakhic literature. R. Abraham's main purpose was to reach a compromise between the decisions of R. Joseph Caro and the glosses of R. Moses Isserles, but he upholds the latter where no compromise can be arrived at. He regarded all Jewish customs as sacred and endeavored to justify them even where they were at variance with the views of the codifiers. He also thought highly of the Zohar and of the kabbalists Isaac Luria and R. Isaiah Horowitz, occasionally accepting their decision against that of the codifiers. Magen Avraham is written in a terse style, which scholars were at times hard put to understand until the appearance of R. Samuel ha-Levi Kolin's extensive commentary, Mahazit ha-Shekel.

R. Abraham is also the author of Zayit Ra'anan (Dessau, 1704), a commentary on the Yalkut Shimoni, published together with some of his homilies on Genesis, Shemen Sason. Zayit Ra'anan was also published in abridged form in the margins of the Yalkut, in the 1876 edition and in all subsequent editions. A commentary to Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes was attributed in error to him, having in fact been taken from the Beit Avraham of R. Abraham b. Samuel R. Gedaliah. R. Moses Jekuthiel Kaufmann was born at Krotoschin about the middle of the seventeenth century. In addition to Lehem ha-Panim he wrote "Hukkat Torah," or "Yismah Yisrael," annotations to Shuhan 'Aruk and to later halakic works, in four parts, published between 1693 and 1701 at various places. He left in manuscript: "Hayyim Arukkim," on Oraḥ Hayyim; "Hukkat ha-Pesaḥ," on the Pesah Haggadah; "Kele ha-Dayyanim," on Hoshen Mishpaṭ.
