Edit ProfileCareer
From 1701 to 1731, Ze'evi was chief rabbi of Hebron where he headed the "Emeth le-Ya'akov" yeshivah which had been founded by Abraham Pereira of Amsterdam. It was the oldest such college still functioning in Hebron at the turn of the 20th century. He also acted as an emissary of Hebron, visiting Constantinople in 1685 where he met Tzvi Ashkenazi.
