Yosef Hayyim

Authors
Yosef Hayyim, also known as the Ben Ish Chai, was the chacham (rabbinic leader) of the Jewish community of Baghdad for over 50 years. He was a prominent authority on halakha and a master kabbalist. His work based on his classes on the weekly Torah reading, the Ben Ish Chai, contains both kabbalistic insights into the Torah portion as well as practical laws for everyday life. He also composed Ben Yehoyada, a commentary on the aggadic portions of the Talmud, and responsa entitled Rav Pe'alim.
