Who was Joseph Kara?
Joseph ben Simeon Kara was a French Bible exegete who was born and lived in Troyes. His uncle and teacher was Menahem ben Ḥelbo, whom Ḳara often cites in his commentaries, these quotations being almost the only source of knowledge concerning Menahem's exegesis.
Ḳara frequented Rashi's house; it is even possible that he was Rashi's pupil, though this is denied by A. Epstein. At least they quote each other.
