Encyclopedic overview
Ovadia Yosef (Hebrew: עוֹבַדְיָה יוֹסֵף, romanized: Ovadya Yosef, lit. 'Obadiah Joseph', Arabic: عَبْد اللّٰه يُوْسُف, romanized: ‘Abd Allāh Yūsuf; September 24, 1920 – October 7, 2013), also known as Maran (Hebrew: מרן; lit. 'Our Master'), was an Iraqi-born Talmudic scholar, hakham, posek, and the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel from 1972 to 1983. Also known as Gadol Yisrael ("great one of Israel"), Yosef is regarded as one of the most influential Sephardic religious authorities of all time. He was also a founder and longtime spiritual leader of Israel's religious Shas party. Yosef's responsa were highly regarded in Haredi circles, particularly among Mizrahi communities, which considered him "the most important living halakhic authority".
