רבי יעקב עמדין
Rabbi Yaakov Emden
The Yaavetz
Who he was
Son of the Chacham Tzvi, and the man who spent years accusing Rabbi Yonasan Eybeschutz of Sabbatianism in a controversy that split European Jewry down the middle. They are buried in the same cemetery. Whatever a person makes of the machlokes, standing in that ground with both of them in it is the part nobody forgets.
