Biography
Biography
Minden was born in Selichow, Lesser Poland, in the seventeenth century. He acted as ḥazzan at Minden-on-the-Weser, whence his name "Minden." He was the author of Shire Yehudah, Hebrew songs with German translations and music. One of these begins: "Ihr lieben Brüder und Gesellen, die da sitzen und zechen," and another, "Hört zu, ihr Leut, gedenkt an die Zeit." In an epilogue to this work (Amsterdam, 1696) he exhorts the rabbis not to allow conversation in the synagogue. He wrote also Zemer va-Shir (Frankfurt-on-the-Main, 1714), which was printed by Solomon London. He died at an advanced age in Altona or Hamburg in 1751.
