Rabbi Yaakov Yisroel Emden – the Yaavetz (1698-1776), son of the Chacham Tzvi. He is considered one of the most prominent sages of the later generations. Famous zealot, he staunchly fought the followers of Sabbatai Zevi and the Frankists. The Yaavetz wrote dozens of compositions, which he himself printed in the private printing press he established in his home in Altona. His halachic works, Mor U'Ketzia and Responsa She'elat Yaavetz, his rulings in the siddur Amudei Shamayim and his composition Lechem Shamayim on the Mishnah are often cited in books of rabbinic rulings. While studying, R. Yaakov was accustomed to writing glosses in his books. The glosses he wrote on the pages of his Talmud were printed in the Vilna editions of the Talmud.
