He was descended from an old Provençal family which first settled in Bohemia, and was the grandson of Rabbi Menahem Manesh Hayyut of Wilna.[1]
He became rabbi of Skole, near Lviv, late in life, and remained there until his death.[1]
He wrote thirteen works, which are enumerated in the preface to his "Zera' Yiẓḥaḳ" (Hebrew: זרע יצחק) on the Mishnah, which was published by his son Eliezer (Frankfort-on-the-Oder, 1732).[2] His "Iggeret Ḳeẓ Ḥai" (Hebrew: אגרת קץ חי),[3] describing in a kabbalistic manner "terrible things which he had seen in the upper world," was published in Chernivtsi in 1862.[1]
He died at Skole in September, 1726.[1]
