HYAMSON, NATHAN
HYAMSON, NATHAN (early 19th century), preacher and rabbi in Lithuania. His major work is Even Boḥan (1843), a collection of five ethical sermons. The preface to the work, which contains some autobiographical information, states that Hyamson was born in Orla, and that he suffered exile from several towns and wandered extensively until he finally settled down to preach in Pren. In the usual manner of 19th century homiletical writers, Hyamson uses sources from all periods of rabbinic literature.
