Israel Lipschitz

Israel Lipschitz

Israel Lipschitz (1782-1860) was rabbi first at Dessau and then at Danzig. He was the author of Tiferet Yisrael (commentary) a well-known commentary on the Mishna. He also wrote "Shevilei de'Rakiya", an introduction to the principles of Rabbinical astronomy, and "Derush Ohr Ha-Hayyim" (Homily on the Light of Life) which debates the eternality of the soul.

He led the life of an ascetic, frequently fasted three days in succession, and studied incessantly. His ethical will contains twenty-eight paragraphs, consisting chiefly of moral and ascetic precepts. He left in manuscript many notes ("derashot") to the Shulchan Aruch and to Maimonides Mishneh Torah, a comprehensive treatise on the order Tohorot, and many responsa.
