Tzvi Hirsch ben Yaakov Ashkenazi (Hebrew: צבי אשכנזי; 1656 – 2 May 1718), known as the Chacham Tzvi after his responsa by the same title, served for some time as rabbi of Amsterdam. He was a resolute opponent of the followers of the self-proclaimed messiah, Sabbatai Zevi.[2] He had a chequered career owing to his independence of character. He visited many lands, including England, where he wielded much influence. His responsa are held in high esteem.[3]
