Hayyim Jacob Slutzki
Ḥayyim Jacob ben Judah Löb Slutzki (Hebrew: חיים יעקב בן יהודה לייב סלוצקי) was a Russian rabbinical scholar who lived in the first half of the 19th century.
Work
Slutzki authored Nite'e Na'amanim (Vilna, 1836), which contains the Midrash Konen accompanied by two commentaries. The first, Tserof ha-Kesef, provides explanations of the text and cites parallel passages from the Tanakh and the Talmud. The second, Beḥon ha-Zahav, consists of glosses on the text.[1]
According to Fürst, Slutzki also wrote several works that remained unpublished, including:[2]
- Pardes Rimmonim, a commentary on the Midrash Me ha-Shiloaḥ.
- Neḥpah ba-Kesef, a commentary on the Midrash Yonah.
- Retuḳot ha-Kesef, a commentary on Elijah of Vilna's Darkhe Eliyahu.
- Meassef ha-Maḥanot, a glossary of difficult words found in the Talmud and midrashim.
