Vilna by Rabbi Elijah ben Solomon Zalman, known as the Vilna Gaon
(1720–97). He was one of "the last arrivals," and attended upon the Gaon as a disciple for less than a year.

After a residence of several years in the Holy Land, Ashkenazi went to
Yishuv haYashan, and in that capacity he traveled through Lithuania and other parts of what was then Russian Empire

On his return to Palestine he wrote his chief work, Pe'at ha-Shulchan, which is intended as a sort of supplement to the Shulchan Aruch, supplying all the agricultural laws obligatory only in the Holy Land, omitted by rabbi
Zera'im, the first order of the Mishnah, and gave in addition a voluminous commentary of his own which he called Beit Yisrael. The work was published in Safed in 1836 by the printing-house of Yisrael ben Avraham Back

Ashkenazi is also the author of Nachalah u-Menuchah, a collection of
responsa mentioned in the work above. An account of his rabbinate of Jerusalem is given in Mendel ben Aaron's Kore ha-'Ittim (Vilna, 1840). Ashkenazi died at Tiberias
on May 22, 1839.
