Beer bead stapler
Beer Schmuel Issachar ben Jehuda Leib ben Moses Eybeschuetz Perlhefter (* around 1650 in Prague ; † after 1713 probably in Prague) was a Jewish scholar and rabbi who taught Hebrew and Jewish literature to Johann Christoph Wagenseil . As one of the leading figures of the Sabbatian movement in northern Italy and a student of the Kabbalist Abraham Rovigo († 1714), he tried to overcome the crisis of this messianic movement after the death of Shabbetaj Zvi .
His father Yehuda Loev was a rabbi and chairman of the court house of the Jewish community in Teplitz . Later he fled because of armed conflicts to Prague, where he was a rabbi or a rabbinate assessor. Beer Perlhefter was born there, probably a few years after 1646. When he married Bella Perlhefter , the daughter of a Prague community leader, which took place before 1670, Beer took on his father-in-law's addition to the Jewish name. After working as a rabbinical assistant in the Ashkenazi community of Hamburg-Wandsbek , he moved with his family to Middle Franconia and worked with Johann Christoph Wagenseil as a teacher of Hebrew language and Jewish literature. In 1676 he was invited to Modena by the Sabbatian Abraham Rovigo and taught there in his house of teaching. Here he became one of the most respected scholars in Central Italy. After six years in Modena, he returned to the Central Franconian area.
