Rahamim Nissim Palacci

Rahamim Nissim Isaac Palacci (also "Palaggi," "Palagi," "Falaji," and many variations) (1813–1907) was a rabbi and author in Izmir, Turkey, and descendant of the Pallache family.

[1] Palacci married Rachel, daughter of rabbi Saadia "Mercado" Halevi [he], author of Neve Tzedek.

[1] Youngest brother, rabbi Joseph Palacci, was to succeed him but proved too young (under seventy-five) under current law.

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).
