Chaim Beyad by Rabbenu Chaim Falaji. First Edition. Izmir, 1873
Chaim Beyad, on Yoreh De’ah, by the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Falaji. Biyamin ibn Tzion Roditi Press, Izmir, 1873. First edition.
Rabbeinu the Chabif, Rabbi Chaim Palaji (1788-1868) one of the greatest Sephardic Poskim and Kabbalists of all time. Was born in Izmir to his father Rabbi Yaakov. On his mother's side, he was a descendant of the Rishon LeZion Rabbi Yosef Raphael ben Chaim Chazan author of Chikrei Lev, served as his Meshamesh and received his Semicha from him. In his Sefer Tzava'ah MeChaim, Rabbi Chaim recalls his early years: "May Heaven and Earth be my witnesses that since the day I became knowledgeable until I was twenty years old I would study diligently day and night without any Bitul". Rabbi Chaim studied Torah with Rabbi Pinchas di Shigora. In 1837, Rabbi Chaim was appointed Av Beis Din of the great Beis Din of Izmir and in 1855 was appointed Chacham Bashi of the Jews of Turkey. Rabbi Chaim authored dozens of compositions on all subjects of the Torah.
