Aaron ben Moses Teomim

Aaron ben Moses Teomim (c. 1630 – July 8, 1690), was a Czech-Polish rabbinical scholar. While a preacher at Prague, he was called as rabbi to Worms in 1670, later holding the rabbinical seat of Cracow (Kraków), Poland. Soon after taking up the Cracow post, a politically- or financially-motivated order for his arrest was made: His death occurred as a result of mistreatment during his transfer to prison. Works published during his lifetime included scriptural discourse and commentary; his work on the Haggadah was reprinted several times in the decades after his death. Later, his approach to textual analysis and discussion, pilpulism, fell into disfavour.
