Abraham ben Aaron ( Hebrew: אברהם בן אהרן) was a head of the Palestinian Gaonate in the 10th century.
Moshe Gil assumes that this Abraham was the son of Aaron ben Meir. [1] According to a fragment found in the Cairo Genizah (T-S 312.82), Abraham reigned as Gaon for seven years. Gil estimates his reign to have occurred around 926-933 CE. [1] Abraham Gaon was the ancestor of members of the Palestinian Gaonate, including Josiah ben Aaron Ab and his son Sadoq ben Josiah. [2] Additionally, the family traced their lineage to Rabbi Judah the Prince. [2]
