Rabbi Isaiah Horowitz, the 'Sh'lah' (1565-1630), was born in Prague. A scholar of outstanding reputation, he served as chief Rabbi of Krakow, and more famously, of Frankfort (1610-1620).

After his first wife passed away, Rabbi Horowitz remarried and moved to Israel in 1621. He became the first Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi of Jerusalem.

After being kidnapped by the local pasha, and ransomed by the Jewish community for a backbreaking sum of money, Rabbi Horowitz moved to Tiberias in order to prevent a subsequent kidnapping.

He is known as the 'Sh'lah', which is the abbreviation of the title of his magnum opus, Shnei Luchot HaBrit, a classic work in Jewish tradition, combining insights into the weekly portion, the holidays and Jewish law.

His burial site is in Tiberias, near the tomb of the Rambam. Yahrtzeit - 11, Nisan
