Talk:Jacob Emden

message: Aryeh Löb b. Saul, anything on him? and is it Saul wahl?
I am not sure how to add this information to the page but of interest maybe a statement by Gershom Sholem that "after thoroughly examining both Eibeschutz's own Kabbalistic writings and all the polemical works that they engendered I have been forced to conclude that he was indeed a Sabbatian, as both Jacob Emden and, in a later age, Heinrich Graetz insisted."  Gershom Sholem, THE HOLINESS OF SIN, Commentary 42 (January 1971).

thread_title: Saul

message: In the JE it only states "He was also opposed to philosophy, and maintained that the "Moreh" could not have been written by Maimonides ("Miṭpaḥat Sefarim")." There is very little context here. Did he state based on historical evidence he does not believe the Morah to of been written by Maimonides or was that just his personal disgust? He was very learned in all of Maimonides books including his personal letters. So I couldn't make gutful guess. 124.170.107.221 13:48, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know of a source for the claim that Emden's relationship with Katzenelnbogen were "strained from the very beginning"? From Sheilas Yaavetz, they seem to have started off on positive note, with their relationship growing more strained as time went by. If no one can find a source for this other than Jewish Encyclopedia, I think it should be edited. High Leader (talk) 05:47, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relationship with Rabbi Yechezkel Katzenelnbogen  

message: Does anyone know of any source for the claim that Emden was "accused of dealing arbitrarily with the text" of the siddur? I know of no source for such a claim, and it seems highly unlikely. Part of the reason Emden wrote his siddur was to counter the siddur of Rabbi Zalman Hena, who certainly was accused of dealing arbitrarily with the text. Emden opposed Hena's changes, & advocated refraining from tampering with the nusach, making him an unlikely candidate for such an accusation. 
There was a controversy over what Emden wrote in the siddur about money changers, but obviously that has no connection to whether he "dealt arbitrarily with the text". If no one knows of any source for this, I think it should be deleted. High Leader (talk) 05:59, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
