Neo-Hebraic writer of the first part of the nineteenth century. He was a private teacher at Prossnitz, Moravia. In 1826 and 1827, he published some articles and poems in the annual "Bikkure ha-'Ittim" (6:40,50; 7:3,123,133,135). The best of these are the articles, "Hash-'arat ha-Nefesh" (The Immortality of the Soul) in 7:3-12, and the poem '"Al Ḳeber Abi" (On the Grave of My Father) in 7:123.
