Revision as of 08:57, 6 November 2009 by Fintor (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Yalkut Yosef (ילקוט יוסף; Hebrew: "Collation of Yosef") is an authoritative, contemporary work of Halakha, providing a detailed explanation of the Shulchan Aruch as based on the halachic rulings of the former Rishon LeTzion Rav Ovadia Yosef. It was written by Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, his son.
Yalkut Yosef is written to give practical halachic guidance to Jews of Sephardi and Oriental origin; it is widely cited, and a growing number of synagogues and yeshivot are using the work for study purposes.
The work is published in 27 volumes and includes a 2 volume "kitzur" (summary). It currently covers all of the Orach Chayim section of the Shulchan Aruch and parts of Yoreh De'ah dealing with Kashrut.
A new English edition, "The Saka Edition-Yalkut Yosef", is currently being published under the leadership of Rabbi Yisrael Bitan of Haketer Institute of Jerusalem. As of September 2009, 9 volumes have been published and additional volumes are under preparation.
