 There he wrote a commentary on "Megillas Taanis," which was printed in Amsterdam, in 1659, and went through several editions.His work, however, was not favorably received by his contemporaries, for both Efraim Cohen, author of "Sha'ar Efraim," a collection of rabbinical decisions, and Abraham Gombiner, author of "Magen Avraham," refer to him somewhat disparagingly.He died, probably in Hamburg, about 1670, or at least some time after 1659.
