Aaron Samuel Tamares (Hebrew: אהרן שמואל תמרת Aharon Shmuel Tamares; 1869 – 1931) was a Ashkenazi Jewish Orthodox Rabbi, author, and philosopher, most notable for voicing a pacifist opposition to the mainstream Zionist movement. He often wrote under the pen name Aḥad ha-Rabanim ha-Margishim ("one of the passionate rabbis").
Biography
[edit]Early life
[edit]Tamares was born in 1969 in a shtetl called Malech, in Grodno, within the Pale of Settlement.His father, Moshe Ya'akov Tamares, owned a tavern and was the grandson of a well-known Tzadik known as Maltsher Preacher, Reb Arehle. He began studying in the Cheder from a young age, and soon became well regarded as a prodigy. At the age of 19, he left to study in Kovno at the famed Kollel Perushim.[1]
Marriage and children
[edit]He was originally set to marry the eldest daughter of the Chief Rabbi of Milejczyce, but she unexpectedly passed away before the marriage went through. He instead married her younger sister, Rachel, at the age of 17, with whom he would go on to have six children. Three of his children would ultimately immigrate to Mandatory Palestine, while the other three were killed in Treblinka after his death. His children, including daughters, were highly educated in the Bible, Mishnah, and even Talmud.[2]
Career
[edit]In 1893, he replaced his father in law as the Chief Rabbi of Milejczyce, which is a position he would retain throughout his life.[3] Tamares was an early defender of Zionism, standing against the prevailing Haredi opposition. In 1900, he was an elected delegate at the fourth Zionist Congress in London.
Death
[edit]He died in 1931 at the age of 62, and was eulogized by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency as a "champion of Zionism and of world peace."[4]
