Joseph ben Ephraim Karo, also spelled Yosef Caro, or Qaro, ( Toledo, 1488 – Safed, 1575 ) was author of the last great codification of Jewish law, the Shulchan Aruch, which is still authoritative for all Jews pertaining to their respective communities.

A wealth of later works include commentary and exposition by such halachic authorities as the Ketzoth ha-Choshen and Avnei Millu ' im, Netivoth ha-Mishpat, the Vilna Gaon, Rabbi Yechezkel Landau ( Dagul Mervavah ), Rabbis Akiva Eger, Moses Sofer, and Chaim Joseph David Azulai ( Birkei Yosef ) whose works are widely recognized and cited extensively in later halachic literature.

He was a student of his father, Rabbi Maimon ben Yosef ( a student of Joseph ibn Migash ) in Cordoba, Spain.

Yosef Yitzchok ( Joseph Isaac ) Schneersohn ( 9 June 1880 OS – 28 January 1950 NS ) was an Orthodox rabbi and the sixth Rebbe ( spiritual leader ) of the Chabad Lubavitch chasidic movement.

Joseph (, Yosef ; " May Yahweh add ";, ) is an important person in the Hebrew Bible and in the Quran, where he connects the story of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in Canaan to the subsequent story of the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.

The Bible offers two explanations of name Yosef: first it is compared to the word asaf from the root /' sp /, " taken away ": " And she conceived, and bare a son ; and said, God hath taken away my reproach "; Yosef is then identified with the similar root / ysp /, meaning " add ":" And she called his name Joseph ; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.

Following the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, Jewish law was codified by Joseph Caro in his Bet Yosef, which took the form of a commentary on the Arba ' ah Turim, and Shulḥan Aruch, which presented the same results in the form of a practical abridgement.

Others again, following R. Ovadia Yosef, prefer a form shorn of some of the Kabbalistic additions and nearer to what would have been known to R. Joseph Caro, and seek to establish this as the standard " Israeli Sephardi " rite for use by all communities.

The Od Yosef Chai ( Hebrew: עוד יוסף חי Joseph still lives ) Yeshiva was based there, with Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburg of Kfar Chabad serving as its Rosh Yeshiva ( Dean ).

Luis de Torres ( died 1493 ), perhaps born as יוסף בן הלוי העברי, Yosef Ben Ha Levy Haivri, (" Joseph the Son of Levy the Hebrew ") was Christopher Columbus's interpreter on his first voyage and the first person of Jewish origin to settle in America.

Yosef ( Joseph ) " Tommy " Lapid (, born as Tomislav Lampel (); 27 December 1931 – 1 June 2008 ) was an Israeli radio and television presenter, journalist, politician and government minister known for his sharp tongue and acerbic wit.

The Tribe of Joseph was one of the Tribes of Israel, though since Ephraim and Manasseh together traditionally constituted the tribe of Joseph, it was often not listed as one of the tribes, in favour of Ephraim and Manasseh being listed in its place ; consequently it was often termed the House of Joseph ( Beit Yosef, בית יוסף ), to avoid the use of the term tribe.

Joseph, son of Caiaphas, Hebrew יוסף ב ַּ ר ק ַ י ָּ פ ָ א or Yosef Bar Kayafa, commonly known simply as Caiaphas () in the New Testament, was the Roman-appointed Jewish high priest who is said to have organized the plot to kill Jesus.

The best-known commentary on the Arba ' ah Turim is the Beit Yosef by Rabbi Joseph Caro: this goes beyond the normal functions of a commentary, in that it attempts to review all the relevant authorities and come to a final decision on every point, so as to constitute a comprehensive resource on Jewish law.

* Joseph Caro's Shulchan Aruch, the fundamental work of Halakha, is a condensation of his Beit Yosef and follows the basic structure of the Arba ' ah Turim, including its division into four sections and chapters-Tur's structure down to the siman is retained in the Shulchan Aruch.

In contrast with the position of Rabbi Chaim Joseph David Azulai, who wrote that " None may reply after the Ari " ( that is, none may dispute the rulings of the Ari ), Yosef argues that no special weight should be attached to the rulings of the Ari and the ordinary principles of Halakhic ruling should continue to apply.

Modern Orthodox rabbis such as Joseph Soloveitchik, Norman Lamm, Randalf Stolzman, Abraham Besdin, Emanuel Rackman, Eliezer Berkovits and others have written on this issue ; many of their works have been collected in a volume published by the Rabbinical Council of America: Theological and Halakhic Reflections on the Holocaust ( edited by Bernhard H. Rosenberg and Fred Heuman, Ktav / RCA, 1992 ).

This was also the practice of Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik, and that of German Jewry historically.

According to Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik the issue depends on the intention with which such an act is undertaken, e. g. whether it is intended to fulfill the actual commandment, to bring a person closer to the Almighty, or for political or protest purposes.

He reportedly forbade his students from attending any lectures given by Rabbi Joseph B.
