Aaron ben Zechariah Friedenthal of Jarosław ( Yiddish: אהרן פרידנטהאל בן זכריה מיארעסלאוו; fl. late 18th century), also known as simply Aaron Jarosław, was a Galician Maskilic writer, editor, and publisher. [1] He was a member of Moses Mendelssohn's Biurist school of Biblical exegesis.
Aaron Friedenthal was born in Jarosław, Galicia, and studied at Berlin. [2] He was a tutor in the house of Moses Mendelssohn; [3] afterwards, he returned to Galicia to serve as a teacher in the new Jewish schools, eventually becoming a director of the Galician state educational system. [4]
Friedenthal's commentary on the Book of Numbers appeared in the first edition of Mendelssohn's Pentateuch (Netivot ha-Shalom, Berlin, 1783) and was included in all subsequent editions. [5] [6] He edited the third edition of Maimonides's Beʾur Millot ha-Higgayon ('Words of Logic'), with Moses Mendelssohn's Hebrew commentary (Berlin, 1784). He also published the first posthumous editions (Lemberg, 1790 and 1791), with a new preface. [7]
