About the Author: יעקב יהושע פאלק also, Yaakov Yehoshua ben Tzvi Hirsch, or Yaakov Yehoshua Falk - Joshua Falk (1680 - January 16, 1756) was a Polish and German rabbi and Talmudist, known as the Pnei Yehoshua. He was born in Cracow in 1680 and died in Offenbach am Main in 1756. On his mother\'s side he was a grandson of Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel b. Yosef of Cracow, the author of Maginne Shelomoh. While a youth he became examiner of the Hebrew teachers of Lemberg. In 1702 his first wife, Leah Landau, his child, Guitel and his mother were killed through an explosion of gunpowder that wrecked the house in which they lived. Yaakov Yehoshia himself narrowly escaped death. He had a second wife Toba who bore him four sons and at least two daughters. He was called to the rabbinate of Tarlow and Lisko, small Galician towns. In 1717 he replaced Rabbi Tzvi Ashkenazi in the chief rabbinate of Lemberg; and thence he was called to Berlin in 1731. Having displeased Veitel-Heine Ephraim, one of the most influential leaders of the community, by rendering a judgment against him, he was compelled at the expiration of his term of office (1734) to resign. After having been for seven years rabbi of Metz he became chief rabbi of Frankfurt-on-the-Main; but the unfavorable attitude of the local authorities toward the Jews, and the fact that the community was divided by controversies, made his position there very precarious. Soon afterward, the quarrel between Rabbis Yaakov Emden and Yonatan Eybeschutz broke out. The chief rabbi, because of his opposition to Eybeschutz, was ultimately compelled to leave the city (1750). He wandered from town to town until he came to Worms, where he remained for some years. He was recalled to Frankfurt; but his enemies prevented him from preaching in the synagogue, and he left the city a second time. The author wrote Pene Yehoshua in four parts. Two of them were published in Frankfurt am Main (1752); the third, with his Pesak bet-Din Chadash, at Furth (1766); the fourth, which, in addition to Talmudic novellae, contains novellae on the Tur Choshen Mishpat and Likkutim, also in Furth (1780). He wrote also a commentary on the Pentateuch, which is mentioned by the author himself, but has not appeared in print.Smart-phone users, click top right menu of phone, select \'request desktop site\'.
