- 10 Iyar — Rabbi Yosef Teomim - the "Pri Megadim"
Rabbi Yosef bar Meir Teomim - «Pri Megadim» (1712-1792)
Yahrzeit - 10 Iyar
Resting place - Frankfurt an der Oder, Germany
Rabbi Yosef ben Meir Teomim (1727–1792) – the «Pri Megadim» – was born in Lemberg (Lviv).
While still young, he succeeded his father as preacher and mentor of the rabbis at the Yeshiva of Lemberg.
Later he moved to Berlin, where he spent several years at the Beit Midrash of Daniel Itzig.
Yosef Teomim first served as a melamed (elementary school teacher) in Lemberg, and later as rabbi of Frankfurt an der Oder, where he remained until his passing. He is buried in the Jewish cemetery of Frankfurt an der Oder.
Rav Yosef wrote the «Pri Megadim» (פרי מגדים), a super-commentary on several of the primary commentators of the Shulchan Aruch;
It is a commentary on the commentaries to Orach Chaim and Yoreh De'ah - sections of the Shulchan Aruch - in which he explained the commentaries of Rav David HaLevi (the Taz), Rav Shabtai Cohen (the Shach), and Rav Avraham Abele Gombiner (the Magen Avraham). He clarified difficult passages and provided clear overviews of the topics under discussion. Rav Teomim was not only an outstanding Talmudic scholar but was also a master of Hebrew and its grammar, and possessed extraordinary logical acumen. His introductions to the sections of the Shulchan Aruch are so significant that nearly every standard edition of the Shulchan Aruch since then includes the «Pri Megadim» commentary.
He is buried in the Jewish cemetery of Frankfurt an der Oder.
May the merit of the tzadik protect Am Yisrael!
