Yosef Qafih
Yosef Qafiḥ ((ヘブライ語:יוסף קאפח)), widely known as Rabbi Kapach (27 November 1917 – 21 July 2000), was a Yemenite-Israeli authority on Jewish religious law (''halakha''), a dayan of the Supreme Rabbinical Court in Israel, and one of the foremost leaders of the Yemenite Jewish community, first in Yemen and later in Israel where he was sought after by non-Yemenites as well.〔Professor Moshe Bar-Asher, פעמים 84 (summer 2000), (הרב יוסף קאפח – החוקר והמנהיג הרוחני ), p. 11 (Hebrew). "אבל אם ירצה הרוצה לצמצם את כוח השפעתו ואת גודל ערכו כמנהיג לעדה אחת, יחטא לאמת. רבי יוסף רבם ומורם של ישראל היה, מורם ברובי תורתו אשר העמיד לרשותם, ורבם במופת האישי שהקרין במעשיו ובהנהגותיו."〕 He is widely known for his editions and translations of the works of Maimonides and other early rabbinic authorities (''Rishonim''), particularly his restoration of the Mishneh Torah from old Yemenite manuscripts and his accompanying commentary culled from close to 300 additional commentators〔http://www.torah.org/learning/rambam/special/kapach.html (English translation). (ספר אהבה מהדורת הרב קאפח ) (Hebrew original), page טו (p. 13 of linked Otzar HaHochma pagination).〕 and with original insights. He was the grandson of Rabbi Yiḥyah Qafiḥ, also a prominent Yemenite leader and founder of the Dor Deah movement in Yemen. Rabbi Yosef Qafih was the recipient of many awards, as well as an Honorary Doctorate from Bar-Ilan University.
==Biography==
Yosef Qafiḥ was born in (27 November 1917) in Sana’a in Yemen.〔http://www.chayas.com/rabbi.htm〕 His father was Rabbi David Qafiḥ, who died when his son Yosef was one year old. At the age of five Rabbi Yosef also lost his mother, and was raised by his grandfather Rabbi Yiḥyah Qafiḥ, under whom he studied Torah. When Yosef was 14 his grandfather died and he inherited his position as rabbinic authority and teacher of the Sana’a community. In his early years he worked as a silversmith. He married Bracha.
In 1943 he immigrated to Palestine, studied at the Merkaz HaRav yeshiva and qualified as a dayan at the Harry Fischel Institute. In 1950 he was appointed as a dayan in the Jerusalem district court. After Rabbi Ovadia Yosef was invited to serve on the Jerusalem beth din in 1958, beside Rabbi Qafih and Rabbi Waldenberg, Rabbis Qafih and Yosef together would constitute a non-Ashkenazic majority in the beit din of three.〔The Life and Scholarship of Hacham Ovadia Yosef, Yehuda Azoulay, (chapter 17 ), by footnote 6.〕 In 1970,〔The Life and Scholarship of Hacham Ovadia Yosef, Yehuda Azoulay, (chapter 17 ), by footnote 23.〕 Rabbi Qafih was appointed as a dayan in the Supreme Rabbinical Court. Throughout the course of more than half a century numerous rabbis sat on various rabbinical courts with him, including Rabbis Tzvi Pesach Frank, Yosef Shalom Eliashiv,〔I.e., prior to his 1972 resignation from the rabbinate's Supreme Beit
Din due to Rabbi Shlomo Goren ((Of Books and Bans ) page 5, http://www.nevo.co.il/law_html/law10/YALKUT-1875.pdf#page=5 p. 453 ()) and the brother and sister verdict.〕 Ovadia Yosef, Avraham Shapira, Mordechai Eliyahu, and the Tzitz Eliezer.〔(עדות ביהוסף ), פתח דבר (page 3 of the linked Otzar HaHochma pagination).〕 He was a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council of Israel, and presided over the Yemenite community in Jerusalem, as well as spreading Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook's teachings among the Israeli Sephardi populace. He died on 21 July 2000 at the age of 82.
