* Ben Ish Chai:

The recent works of Halakha, Kaf HaChaim, Ben Ish Chai and Yalkut Yosef are considered authoritative in many Sephardic communities.

Thus Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews may choose to follow the opinion of the Ben Ish Chai when it conflicts with the Shulchan Aruch.

* Ben Ish Chai, Sephardi rabbi and posek

The Ben Ish Chai, Kaf Ha ' Chaim, and much more recently, the Yalkut Yosef are similar works by Sephardic Rabbis for their communities.

The Shulchan Aruch HaRav is considered authoritative by other Hasidim, and citations to this work are many times found in non-Hasidic sources such as the Mishnah Berurah used by Lithuanian Jews and the Ben Ish Chai used by Sephardic Jews.

An important influence on Sephardic prayer and custom was the late 19th century Baghdadi rabbi known as the Ben Ish Ḥai, whose work of that name contained both halachic rulings and observations on Kabbalistic custom based on his correspondence with Eliyahu Mani of the Bet El yeshivah.

The rulings of the Ben Ish Ḥai have been accepted in several other Sephardic and Oriental communities, such as that of Jerba.

The work is broadly considered an authoritative halachic text, and its rulings are frequently cited by later authorities such as Yisrael Meir Kagan in his Mishnah Berurah and the Ben Ish Chai of Yosef Chaim of Baghdad, as well as in many contemporary responsa by leading halachic authorities of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The tension between the two Rabbis began in the 1940s, when Yosef came out openly against the Halachic rulings of the Ben Ish Chai.

Yosef's attitude towards the Kabbalah, the rulings of the Ari, and consequently the rulings of the Ben Ish Chai have been the cause of strong disagreements between him and Jewish immigrants from the Muslim world in Israel, especially the Jews of Iraq.

The rulings of the Ben Ish Chai were at the heart of the disagreement between him and the Chief Rabbis Yitzhak Nissim and Mordechai Eliyahu.

Among Yosef's earliest works was a detailed commentary on the Ben Ish Chai titled Halikhot Olam.

It could even be argued that they follow Caro more closely than any other group, as many other Sephardim, especially the eastern communities influenced by the Ben Ish Chai, regard Isaac Luria as having equal or even greater authority than Caro.

( It is thought that the title added to this book's immediate and continuing popularity: many other works – Ben Ish Hai, Chayei Adam and others – are also concise, and suitable for laypersons or summaries of the Shulchan Aruch but did not reach the level of the Kitzur's popularity.

* Ben Ish Chai by Yosef Chaim ( Baghdad, 1832 – 1909 ), a Sephardi work with a similar purpose.

Yosef Chaim of Baghdad, author of Ben Ish Hai

He is best known as author of the work on Halakha Ben Ish Ḥai ( בן איש חי ) (" Son of Man ( who ) Lives "), by which title he is also colloquially known.

The Ben Ish Chai ( בן איש חי ) is a standard reference in Sephardi homes ( functioning as " a Sephardi Kitzur Shulchan Arukh ") and is widely studied in Sephardi yeshivot.

Due to the popularity of this book, Hakham Yosef Chaim came to be known as " Ben Ish Chai ", by which he is referred to by many today.

* Me-Kabtziel ( Miqqabṣiël ): an esoteric exposition of Jewish law — which he refers to often in Ben Ish Chai — providing a more detailed explanation of the reasoning underlying certain decisions.

The names Ben Ish Chai, Me-Kabtziel, Rav Pe ' alim and Ben Yehoyada derive from 2 Samuel 23: 20.

He initially studied in his father's library, and, at the age of 10, he left midrash (" school room ") and began to study with his uncle, David Chai Ben Meir who later founded the Shoshanim LeDavid Yeshiva in Jerusalem.

Ben Adret, with the approval of other prominent Spanish rabbis, sent a letter to the community at Montpellier proposing to forbid the study of philosophy to those who were less than twenty-five years of age, and, in spite of keen opposition from the liberal section, a decree in this sense was issued by Ben Adret in 1305.

The proposition of the latter to prohibit, under penalty of excommunication, the study of philosophy and any of the sciences except medicine, by one under thirty years of age, met with the approval of Ben Adret.

Accordingly, Ben Adret addressed to the congregation of Montpellier a letter, signed by fifteen other rabbis, proposing to issue a decree pronouncing the anathema against all those who should pursue the study of philosophy and science before due maturity in age and in rabbinical knowledge.

Encouraged, however, by letters signed by the rabbis of Argentière and Lunel, and particularly by the support of Kalonymus ben Todros, the nasi of Narbonne, and of the eminent Talmudist Asheri of Toledo, Ben Adret issued a decree, signed by thirty-three rabbis of Barcelona, excommunicating those who should, within the next fifty years, study physics or metaphysics before their thirtieth year of age ( basing his action on the principle laid down by Maimonides, Guide for the Perplexed part one chapter 34 ), and had the order promulgated in the synagogue on Sabbath, July 26, 1305.

At the close of the work are added several eulogies written by Abba Mari on Ben Adret ( who died in 1310 ), and on Don Vidal, Solomon of Perpignan, and Don Bonet Crescas of Lunel.
