SEBI 'ASHKENAZI (1656-1718), known as IIakham Sebi, for some time rabbi of Amsterdam, was a resolute opponent of the followers of the pseudo-Messiah, Sabbatai Sebi. He had a chequered career, owing to his independence of character. He visited many lands, including England, where he wielded much influence. His Responsa are held in high esteem.
