Elijah Benamozegh : ウィキペディア英語版 | Elijah Benamozegh
Elijah Benamozegh, sometimes Elia or Eliyahu, (born 1822; died February 6, 1900) was an Italian rabbi and a noted Kabbalist,〔Natan Slifkin. ''The Challenge of Creation: Judaism's Encounter with Science, Cosmology and Evolution'', Yashar Books, 2006. page 241-242〕 highly respected in his day as one of Italy's most eminent Jewish scholars. He served for half a century as rabbi of the important Jewish community of Livorno, where the Piazza Benamozegh now commemorates his name and distinction. His major work is ''Israel and Humanity'' (1863), which was translated into English by Dr. Mordechai Luria in 1995. ==Life== He was born at Livorno. His father (Abraham) and mother (Clara), Maghrebi Jewish natives of Fez, Morocco, died when Elijah was only four years old. He early entered school, where, besides instruction in the elementary sciences, he received tuition in Hebrew, English, and French, excelling in the latter. Benamozegh devoted himself later to the study of philosophy and theology, which he endeavored to reconcile with each other. At the age of twenty-five he entered a commercial career, spending all his leisure time in study; but his natural tendency toward science and an active religious life soon caused him to abandon the pursuit of wealth. He then began to publish scientific and apologetic works, in which he revealed a great attachment to the Jewish religion, exhibiting at the same time a broad and liberal mind. His solicitude for Jewish traditions caused him to support Cabala. Later, Benamozegh was appointed rabbi and professor of theology at the rabbinical school of his native town; and, his other occupations notwithstanding, he continued to write and defend Jewish traditions until his death, in Livorno.
