Rabbi Jacob Emden’s real name, as you see, was Ashkenazi, but he was called Emden after the city where he had served as rabbi. He is also known as YaBeTz, being the initials of the words Yaakov Ben Tzevi.
The young Jacob’s first teacher was his own illustrious father, who was a famous Talmudist and rabbi in his time. From his father, Jacob inherited a fiery nature and violent opposition to the movement of the false ‘Messiah’ Sabbatai Tzevi. Although this movement ‘had already long been proven as false and misleading, there were still secret followers of it. Like his father, he was determined to ferret them out and expose them at all costs.
