Chaim David Hazan (Hebrew: חיים דוד חזן; 1790 – January 17, 1869) nicknamed Chad Badara (Hebrew: ח"ד בדרא) was an Av Beit Din in İzmir, rabbinical scholar, and Rishon LeZion of Israel.
Chaim David Hazan
חיים דוד חזן
A posthumous 1926 edition of one of his books, "Benevolent"
Born in İzmir to Sephardic Rabbi Raphael Yosef Hazan, son of Chaim, and Reina Falaji, Hazan learned the profession of shochet from a young age. His father was a chief rabbi in the city and considered a great sage of the 19th century. By the time he had grown into adulthood, he was chosen as the head of the shochets in the area. By 1840, he was appointed to a head position in the city's rabbi community, a position he held until 1855.[1]
Emigration to Israel and careeredit
In 1855, he immigrated to Eretz Yisroel and settled in Jerusalem, where he was appointed to the Beit Din alongside Moshe Benvenisti, Yitzhak Cordoviro, Yitzhak Kalmaro, and Avraham Amar.[2] In 1859, he went on a mission with five other rabbis from Jerusalem to Vienna, but he fell ill and returned home.[3] In 1861, Rabbi Chaim Nissim Abulafia [he] passed away, and Hazan was elected to take his place in the rabbinate as the Chief Sephardi Rabbi in Israel, as well as Hakham Bashi of Jerusalem, and the two roles were united for the region with his election. He worked extensively for the agricultural settlements in the land, and he worked in close proximity with Zvi Hirsch Kalischer, to which the two decided on planting willow trees in the settlement of Kfar Hashiloah.[3] He also played an active role in the development of the Batei Mahse complex.
In 1863, a large assembly was held in Jerusalem at the initiative of Hazan, Chaim Tzvi Schneerson, and other dignitaries from the community with the aim of examining how many emigrants of the Old Yishuv were willing to switch to agricultural work to develop settlements in the region. The assembly decided, among other things, that it was necessary to obtain a license from the government to purchase land for cultivation, and that a three-year support system should be established before the beginning of the project. Following the meeting, around 100 families announced their desire to work as farmers on the land, and the project was headed by Hazan, Schneerson, and Benvenisti. The initiative never came to fruition due to deteriorating relations between the Jews and the Ottoman government.[4]
Hazan was initially married to Joya Esther, daughter of Yisrael Chaim HaCohen Hamzi. She passed away in 1862, and he remarried in his final years to a woman named Sultana. He had an older brother, Rabbi Eliezer Hazan [he], as well as brothers Rachmim Eliyahu Hazan [he] and Yitzhak Hazan.[6] He had a sister, Kali Kaden, who became the mother of Chaim Falaji.
