Hananiah Sebag

d. after 1570MerchantAfrica · 1570

Hananiah Sebag was a wealthy merchant in Fez, Morocco. The problem of his inheritance preoccupied the dayyanim (judges) of both the megorashim and the toshavim (Jews that escaped from the Iberian Peninsula to Morocco and those that did not originate from the Iberian Peninsula). Legal conclusions from this case became law in the rabbinical tribunals of Morocco. Subsequently, the family settled in Meknes, Marrakesh, and in Mogador.
