Jewish settlement in present-day Algeria can be traced back to the first centuries of the Common Era. Centuries later, with the deterioration of conditions in Spain, many Spanish Jews moved to Algeria. Among them were a number of outstanding scholars, including R. Yitzchak ben Sheshet Perfet (the Ribash) and R. Shimon ben Zemah Duran (the Rashbatz).
