HISTORIC! 9 pages full of Torah innovations regarding the Passover Haggadah, And the four cups in the handwriting of the Gaon Rabbi Ovadia Yosef


Rabbi Ovadia Yosef (1920-2013) was born in Baghdad and at a young age moved to Jerusalem. One of the greatest disciples of Rabbi Ezra Attiya Head of the Porat Yosef Yeshiva. During 1948-1951, served in the rabbinate of Egypt. On his return to Israel, he served in the Petach Tikva rabbinate and delivered sermons and Torah discourses in Jerusalem and throughout Israel. During 1958-1969 he served as Dayan in the Jerusalem Beit Din and in the Great Rabbinical Beit Din. In 1969, was appointed Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv-Yaffo and in 1973 was appointed Rishon L'Zion and Chief Rabbi of the State of Israel. Was especially renowned for his incredible erudition in Torah knowledge and his clear Torah rulings. With time, he reached the status of one of the leading Torah authorities of our days and became an unequalled influential spiritual leader. He was very active in teaching Torah to the masses and raised the honor and authority of Jews of Sephardic descent in Israel. One of his life's activities was "restoring the past glory" of Sephardic Jewry; this goal was portrayed in the area of halachic rulings and in the social and political arenas as well. In the framework of this vision, he stood at the helm of Mo'etzet Chachmei HaTorah and navigated the worldwide Shas movement. Rabbi Ovadia left a huge yield of books, including: Yabia Omer responsa (10 volumes), Yechave Da'at responsa (six volumes), Chazon Ovadia (18 volumes) and many other books.
