Judah Löb Mieses

Judah Löb Mieses (Hebrew: יהודה ליב מיזס; c. 1798 – 26 June 1831) was a Galician writer and Maskil.

Judah Löb Mieses was born into a wealthy rabbinic family in Lemberg, Galicia (today Lviv, Ukraine), and was educated in both Jewish and secular subjects.

[1] He made his house the centre of a literary circle, supporting and guiding young Maskilim like Isaac Erter, to whom he offered use of his extensive library.

His main work, Kin'at ha-Emet (Vienna, 1828; 2nd ed., Lemberg, 1879),[2] contains an introduction and three dialogues between Maimonides and Solomon of Chelm.

He also wrote additions to David Caro's Tekunat ha-Rabbanim,[3] which include a plan for modern Jewish education.
