Yisrael of Shklov
1770 CE–1839 CE · Acharonim · Shklov
Rabbi Yisrael of Shklov (c. 1770-1839) was a Lithuanian Talmudist who studied with the Vilna Gaon during the final months of the Gaon's life and was afterward entrusted with preparing his teacher's writings for print. He became a leading figure among the Perushim, the Gaon's non-Hasidic disciples who resettled in the Land of Israel, and headed the Ashkenazi congregations first in Safed and later in Jerusalem. A plague that struck Safed around 1812-1813 claimed most of his family as he fled toward Jerusalem. His best-known work, Pe'at HaShulchan, treats the agricultural commandments that apply only in the Land of Israel and was printed in Safed in 1836; he also composed Taklin Chadtin, a commentary on tractate Shekalim of the Jerusalem Talmud, and a collection of responsa, Nachalah u-Menucha. He died in 1839 in Tiberias.
