Joseph Yuspa Nördlinger Hahn (died 1637) was a German rabbi and author.
Biography
He was born at
Authorized Version: "in the way he should go"), and that the scope, method, and subject of instruction be adapted to the capacity of the child: it should not be compelled to learn what is beyond its comprehension. If not fit for the study of the Talmud, it should receive thorough instruction in the Bible, which is plain and wins the heart for the fear of God. In this work, Hahn also tells of the troubles that befell the Frankfurt Jews before and during the persecutions caused by Vincenz Fettmilch, of their expulsion in 1614, and of their readmission in 1616. Hahn was a member of one of the forty families to which the privilege of returning was first granted.[2]
In communal affairs, Hahn also displayed great activity. He founded a society, Gomel Ḥesed, whose duty it was to render the last honors to the dead, especially to such as had no relatives. The congregation conferred upon him offices of honor; and he officiated as rabbi when the rabbinate was vacant. His name is inscribed in the "memorial book," and his Hebrew epitaph (No. 1590) is found on one of the monuments of the Jewish cemetery of Frankfurt.[2]
Another work of Hahn's, containing explanations and glosses to the four codes of the Shulchan Aruch, is still in manuscript.[2]
