Rabeinu Yosef Chaim (1835-1909) was the spiritual leader of Iraqi Jewry “the last sage of the era of halachic rulings from Sephardic Jewry” (in the words of Rabbi Ben Zion Abba Shaul). He was born in Baghdad and studied with that city’s Torah giants, who at that time were headed by Rabbi Abdullah Somech.
It was well known that the Admo"r Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rokach of Belz did not include “the one and only in his generation” on the tombstone of his father, the Admo"r Rabbi Yehoshua Rokach of Belz, because it was impossible to write that when Rabbi Yosef Chaim of Baghdad also lived in that generation. A few of Rabbi Yosef Chaim’s books, including his most famous book, Ben Ish Chai, are based on the sermons he gave regularly.
