Judah ben Simon Sofer Frankfurt Ashkenazi (Tiktin) was a Polish commentator on the Shulchan Aruch. He officiated as "dayyan" (assistant rabbi) at Tikotzin, Poland, in the first half of the eighteenth century.[1]
Main work
[edit]He wrote Ba'er Hetev (also spelled B’er Heteb)[2] (Hebrew: באר היטב; "Explaining Well"), which comments briefly on the first three parts of the Shulchan Aruch ("Orach Chayim", "Yoreh De'ah", and "Even Ha'ezer"). A similar commentary on the fourth part of the Shulchan Aruch — that is, on the "Choshen Mishpat" — was written by Rabbi Moses Frankfurter, dayyan of Amsterdam. Ashkenazi's work was appended to the Shulchan Aruch in the editions of Amsterdam, 1753 and 1760, and went through many editions.[1]
