Long Responsum from the "Rainmaker" - the Gaon Rabbi Avraham Yisrael, Av Beit Din of Ancona.
" ... clouds dimmed the skies and there was wind and rain, and the Name of Heaven was sanctified in the eyes of the gentiles, who would call him ... Rabbino dell'Acqua - the Water Rabbi"
Lengthy halachic responsum on Choshen Mishpat topics signed by the experienced miracle-worker, the great Rabbi Avraham Yisrael, Av Beit Din of Ancona, to Rabbi Shlomo David of the elders, Av Beit Din of Lugo. [Ancona, c. 1780].
The gaon Rabbi Avraham Yisrael [1708-1785] was a son of the gaon, the author of Mas'et Moshe. In 1751, he left Jerusalem on a mission and met Rabbi Yehonatan Eibeschutz in Altona, where they discussed topics in the hidden and revealed aspects of the Torah (Luchot Edut leaf 41). He served as rabbi of No-Amon in Egypt from 1758-1769, and as rabbi of Ancona beginning in 1774. The Chid"a knew him and praised him highly (refer to the approbation to his book Beit Avraham). Rabbi Matitya Nissim of Tirani, in his book Sefat Emet, relates a wondrous story about him, as follows: "This is my prayer before Hashem, written written by me due to the drought we suffered in 1779 here in Ancona. These days, aye, the King of Israel mentioned here, is present and his merit stood by us. After this prayer, the clouds dimmed the skies and there was wind and rain, everyone relaxed and the Name of Heaven was sanctified in the eyes of the gentiles, who would call him ... Rabbino dell'Acqua - the Water Rabbi." His printed works include: Beit Avraham (Livorno, 1787) and Imrot Tehorot (Livorno, 1787).
