Yalkut Yosef
Yalkut Yosef (Hebrew:ילקוט יוסף, "Collation of Yosef") is an authoritative, contemporary work ofHalakha, providing a detailed explanation of theShulchan Aruch as based on thehalachic rulings[1] of the formerRishon LeZion RabbiOvadia Yosef. It was written by his son RabbiYitzhak Yosef, who also served as theRishon LeZion.
Yalkut Yosef is written to give practical halachic guidance to Jews ofSephardi andMizrahi origin; it is widely cited, and a growing number of synagogues andyeshivot are using the work for study purposes.
The work is published in 32 volumes[2] and includes a 2 volume "kitzur" (summary). It currently covers almost all of theOrach Chayim section of theShulchan Aruch, and parts ofYoreh De'ah dealing withKashrut.[3]
A new English edition, "The Saka Edition-Yalkut Yosef",[4] is currently being published under the leadership of Rabbi Yisrael Bitan of Haketer Institute of Jerusalem. As of September 2018, 30 volumes have been published and additional volumes are under preparation. Haketer Institute plans on publishing 33 volumes which will cover all areas of Sephardi Halacha observance.
