It was used (sometimes in conjunction with "ibn") as a surname for a prominent North African Jewish family, as well as for Sephardic families in other communities. The name variously appears also as Benatar, Abenatar, and Abiatar. See Jewish Encyclopedia entry Attar, Ibn.</fn></li> | |

After moving to Leghorn on his way to Eretz Yisrael, he attracted many students and preached to large audiences.<fn>In Leghorn, R. Chayyim achieved a popularity and renown that he never achieved in his home country. Scholars proffer various theories as to why he never achieved great prominence in Morocco. Y. Toledano (נר המערב (Jerusalem, 1911): 154) is of the opinion that conflicts within his family and among others regarding money matters prevented him from gaining recognition. E. Touitou (רבי חיים: 16) surmises, based on R. Chayyim's Torah commentary and other writings, that R. Chayyim's preaching style involved sharp criticism - even of leaders and Torah scholars - and thus may have won him too many opponents.</fn> In Eretz Yisrael, he established yeshivot at Akko and Jerusalem. He gained renown as both a powerful intellect and an exceedingly pious and holy individual.<fn>R. Chayyim displayed a propensity for asceticism (he is reported, for example, to have fasted for three consecutive days before Purim (see Toledano, נר המערב: 155), and a tendency toward strict interpretation of Halakhah (he took controversial positions against most Moroccan rabbis regarding certain kashrut practices. According to R. Reuven Margoliot, his abundant criticism of Peri Chadash was due to the latter's tendency to rule leniently (see R. Margoliot, תולדות רבנו חיים בן עטר (Lemberg, 1928): 30, note 14).</fn></li> | |
