The opening as it read in 2025
Shlomo Ephraim ben Aaron Luntschitz (1550 – 21 February 1619) was a rabbi and Torah commentator , best known for his Torah commentary Keli Yekar . He served as the Rabbi of Prague from 1604 to 1619. The date on his gravestone is Thursday, 7 Adar , year (5)379 ( Anno Mundi ). Although most write this as Keli Yakar , "the second word should be Yekar " (יְקָר), as the vowelization appears in Proverbs 20:15 (Marc Shapiro, Seforim Blog, The Pew Report and the Orthodox Community (and Other Assorted Comments), part 1 , endnote 4; Jewish Encyclopedia ).
