Rabbi Yehuda ben Rabbi Yitzchak Ayash (1700-1761) was born in Midea, Algeria and then moved to Algiers where he became the disciple and Dayan of the Beis Din of Rabbi Shlomo Yedidya Tzrur. After his Rav’s passing, he succeeded him as Av Beis Din and as the Rav of Algiers and was also a Rosh Yeshiva. He authored a Sefer Shut and compiled and elucidated the customs of Algeria. On his way to Eretz Yisroel, he passed through Livorno, where he printed some of his Seforim. After his immigration to Eretz Yisroel, he was appointed the Rosh Yeshiva of Knesses Yisroel. During his lifetime, his Seforim Lechem Yehuda (Livorno, 1745) on the Rambam, Beis Yehuda Shut (Livorno, 1746) and Sefer Bnei Yehuda (Livorno, 1758) were published. After his passing, additional Seforim were published from his writings: VeZot LiYehuda sermons, Mateh Yehuda – Shevet MiYehuda and Kol Yehuda on the Torah and Sefer Afara DeAra on Sefer Ara DeRabbanan. The Rav passed away on Rosh Hashana and was laid to rest in Jerusalem.
