Shimon Lavi (Hebrew: שמעון לביא, also Shimon ibn Lavi, Hebrew: שמעון אבן לביא,[a] anglicized as Simeon Labi, 1486–1585)[1][4][b] was a Sephardi Hakham, kabbalist, physician, astronomer, and poet. He is credited with the founding of religious institutions and the revival of Torah study in Tripoli, Libya, in the mid-sixteenth century, where he served as spiritual leader and dayan (rabbinical court judge) for more than three decades. He authored a commentary on the Zohar titled Ketem Paz and the piyyut, "Bar Yochai", a kabbalistic hymn which became widely popular in the Jewish world. Libyan Jews consider him their greatest scholar.[5]
