Elijah Fulda


Elijah ben Judah Loeb of Fulda (Hebrew: אליהו מפולדה‎‎; Vyzhnytsia 1650s – Fulda, c. 1720) was the earliest and most important of early Ashkenazic commentators on the previously neglected Jerusalem Talmud.

Elijah ben Judah Loeb lived in Wiznica for most of his life, only settling in Fulda in his later years. His division of his commentary into two parts—Commentary and Novellae—was the model for David ben Naphtali Fränkel's division into two parts of his Korban ha-Edah "The Communal Sacrifice." His Korban ha-Edah (or Qorban Ha'edah) was published posthumously in Dessau in 1743.
