Abraham Aboab Falero

Abraham Aboab Falero (died 1642) was a Portuguese philanthropist.

At the beginning of the seventeenth century or the end of the sixteenth Falero settled in Hamburg. He built the second synagogue in that city,[1] named "Keter Torah," for the Portuguese community. He founded many yeshibot, even in Palestine. Toward the close of his life he went to Verona to see his son R. Samuel Aboab, and died there in 1642.
