Biography Raphael Jedidiah Solomon Ẓeror was born in Algiers in 1681. He hailed from a notable family of Talmudic scholars, and his grandfather, Solomon Ẓeror, held the position of chief rabbi in Algiers. Ẓeror pursued studies in various secular disciplines, with a particular focus on logic, physics, and geography.
