During his stay in Berlin, R. Schneerson was assigned specific communal tasks by his father-in-law, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn, who also requested that he write scholarly annotations to the responsa of Tzemach Tzedek.

Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn also sought his annotations to various hasidic discourses.

Titus Flavius Josephus ( 37 – 100 ), also called Joseph ben Matityahu ( Biblical Hebrew: יוסף בן מתתיהו, Yosef ben Matityahu ), was a 1st-century Romano-Jewish historian and hagiographer who was born in Jerusalem-then part of Roman Judea-to a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed royal ancestry.

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.

His students included Rabbis: Yonasan David ( his son-in-law ) and Aharon Schechter, his successors as Rosh Yeshivas of Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin ; Hirsch Diskind, son-in-law of Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky and long-time Dean of Bais Yaakov School for Girls in Baltimore, Aharon Lichtenstein, son-in-law of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik and Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Har Etzion in Israel ; Pinchas Stolper of the Orthodox Union and founder of NCSY who followed Hutner's guidelines in setting up this youth outreach movement ; Avrohom Davis, founder of the Metzudah religious books series ; Shlomo Freifeld who set up one of the first full-time yeshivas for baal teshuva students in the world ; Joshua Fishman, leader and executive Vice President of Torah Umesorah the National Society for Hebrew Day Schools ; Avrohom Kleinkaufman, a lecturer in Yeshiva of Far Rockaway and translator of the Genesis and Exodus volumes of the Metzuda Bible Commentary of Rabbi Solomon and the Kol Sasson Sephardic Siddurim and Machzorim ; Yaakov Perlow, the Novominsker Rebbe of Boro Park ; Meir Bilitzky, senior rabbi of Young Israel of New Hyde Park ; Noah Weinberg founder and head of Aish Hatorah and his brother Yaakov Weinberg of Ner Israel Yeshiva in Baltimore ; Yosef Katzenstein of Copenhagen, author of Kol Chayil and Lema ' an Achai ; Feivel Cohen of Brooklyn, author of " Badei HaShulchan " and world renowned posek, Dovid Cohen, rabbi of Congregation Gvul Yaabetz and an author of a number of books on Jewish theology, and Ahron Kaufman Rosh HaYeshiva of Yeshiva Gedola of Waterbury, son in law to Feivel Cohen.

Joseph Ber ( Yosef Dov, Yoshe Ber ) Soloveitchik (; 1903 – 93 ) was an American Orthodox rabbi, Talmudist and modern Jewish philosopher.

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

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 ).

Jesus was produced by John Heyman, a German-born Jew and starred British Shakespearean actor Brian Deacon as Jesus, Rivka Neumann as Mary, Yosef Shiloach as Joseph and Niko Nitai as Peter.

The part of Mary was played by Rivka Neumann, and the part of Joseph by Yosef Shiloach.

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.
