Abraham Palacci (1809 or 1810–January 2, 1898) was a grand rabbi and author (in Ladino and Hebrew) of Ottoman Smyrna which is now Izmir.

A minority in the local community championed Rabbi Joseph Hakim of Manissa to succeed.

A majority wanted son Abraham to succeed him, including Jews with foreign citizenship.

Due to Solomon's credentials (weak in scholarship, discordant in community), tension arose, and Joseph Eli (died 1906) was nominated.

To end the dispute, Solomon received another position in the rabbinate and Joseph Eli succeeded briefly (1899-1900).

Finally, Joseph ben Samuel Bensenior (1837–1913) succeeded as grand rabbi in December 1900.

The heritage organization states, "Izmir is the only city in the world in which an unusual cluster of synagogues bearing a typical medieval Spanish architectural style is preserved ...[and] creating an historical architectural complex unique in the world.
