Bayla Falk

Bayla Falk (Yiddish: ביילא פאלק)[1] was a woman of Talmudic learning.

She was born in Lemberg about the middle of the sixteenth century, and died at an advanced age at Jerusalem.

Bayla Falk was a daughter of the philanthropist and head of the community at Lemberg, Israel Edels, and wife of the well-known Talmudist Joshua Falk, author of the Sefer Me'irat 'Enayim.

Bayla had a strong inclination toward Talmudic studies, and gave some decisions on certain difficult halakhic cases.
