YANKEV
BEN AVROM VAYL (d. 1851)
He descended from generations of
rabbis going back to the Maharam of Rothenberg.
He was born in Salzburg, where his father was rabbi. He lived in Meiringen and Karlsruhe. He was the author of a religious text, Torat-shabat (The laws of the Sabbath),
written in Hebrew-Aramaic and stylized Yiddish, concerning the religious laws
of the customary practices for Shabbat (Karlsruhe, 1889), 400 pp.; and a second
text of his, Torat-yom-tov (The laws
of the holidays), also in Hebrew-Aramaic and older Yiddish, remains in
manuscript. He died in Karlsruhe.
