Raphael Levy (born 1612 in Flévy/Chelaincourt; died 17 January 1670) was a Jewish inhabitant of the city of Metz who was burned at the stake, accused of having ritually murdered a Christian child, Didier Le Moyne.
For some years after his execution, the Jewish community in Metz marked the anniversary of his death (25 Tevet) as a day of fasting.
[1] On 25 September 1669 (the eve of Rosh Hashanah) three-year-old Didier Le Moyne went missing in the woods outside the village of Glatigny, about ten miles east of Metz.
His defense attorney Meyer Schwabe, one of the elders of the Metz congregation, was himself tarred with fabricated accusations of mocking Jesus on Good Friday.
The royal director of Metz was able to save Schwabe through his intervention and also prevent a pogrom against the Jewish community, but any help came too late for Levy.
