The Ben Ish Hai Anthologys
By The Ben Ish Hai
Translated by: Daniel Levy
Publisher: Feldheim
This anthology offers a select translation of Otzrot Hayyim, which is a 35 volume encyclopedia of the writings of HaRav Yosef Hayyim. Each volume is a collection of the Ben Ish Hai's teachings on a specific topic, such as Torah, Prayer, Repentance, and the Jewish Holidays. These are the first English language publications of the series.
HaCham Yosef Hayyim of Baghadad (1833-1909) was one of the most brilliant and prolific Sefardic sages of his time. Best Known for his halachic work, the Ben Ish Hai, he wrote over seventy books on all areas of Torah study, from responsa to mussar to Kabbalah. He was the undisputed leader of Sefardic Jewry, and his work remains one of the major influences on the Torah world today.
