The Ga'on Rabbi Yedidyah Shlomo son of Rabbi Eliyahu Israel from Rhodes was among the greatest scholars of his generation. He served as Av Beit Din in Alexandria for about 30 years until his passing in 1831 [he did not leave any descendants, his books apparently made it back to his ancestors’ home in Rhodes]. His nephew, Rabbi Chaim Yehuda Israel, Av Beit Din of Rhodes, had a son also named Rabbi Yedidyah Shlomo, who was among the Rhodes and Jerusalem scholars and passed at a young age [around 1836] and his brother, Rabbi Michael Ya'akov Israel, Av Beit Din of Rhodes, was the one who took care of his bequest. [See enclosed material, on the books “History of the Rabbis from the Rhodes Israel Family”, the “Yad Yamin” responsum and “Roni Ve-Simchi”’s sixth eulogy].
