Jacob ben Aaron Sasportas (1610 – April 15, 1698) was an Algerian-born rabbi, kabbalist, diplomat and author. He served as the rabbi of various Jewish communities in North Africa and later in Western Sephardic communities across Europe, including London and Amsterdam.[1] He is perhaps best known for his vocal opposition to the messianic claims of Sabbatai Zevi.[2]
