The Maharshach was one of the biggest Poskim. He was a Rabbi in Saloniki and one of the Gedolim of the generation at the end of the Beis Yosef's life.


The Chida, Rabbi Chaim Yosef Dovid Azoulay, was one of the biggest Poskim, a great Mekubal, and a wise, learned Tzadik. He was born in Yerushalayim to  Rabbi Yitzchak Zerachya Azoulay, one of the great scholars and tzaddikim in his era, as well as a revered Dayan and Rosh Yeshivah. He was the son of Rabbi Yeshaya Azoulay, grandson of Rabbi Yitzchak Azoulay, and great-grandson of the saintly Kabbalist Rabbi Avraham Azoulay, author of Chessed L’Avraham. Rabbi Yitzchak Zerachya studied Torah and Kabbalah under Rabbi Avraham Yitzchaki, author of Zera Avraham. Many of his teachings were transmitted to his son and quoted throughout the seforim of the Chida.
