Rabbi Shabtai Be'er, among the scholars of Italy and Jerusalem (passed away c. 1674).

The Rabach wrote in reference to him:"It is improper to rely on the author of Be'er Eshek".
In the period of confusion which ensued with the appearance of Shabtai Tzvi, a question was raised over whether it was appropriate to continue reciting early-morning lamentations over the galut.
