Ben Ish Chai Anthology. Here he addresses the riddle of the eternal Jew. From ancient times until the present, nations have tried to destroy him; yet they have risen and fallen, while he endures. What makes him different from the people of the world? Why has he suffered so much throughout history? And what does the future hold in store for him?

Rabbi Yosef Chaim of Baghdad(Iraq) (1833-1909) was one of the most brilliant and prolific Sefardic sages of his time. Best known for his halachic work, the Ben Ish Chai, he wrote over seventy books on all areas of Torah study, from responsa to mussar to Kabalah. He was the undisputed leader of Sefardic Jewry, and his work remains one of the major influences on the world of Torah today. The Ben Ish Chai Anthology offers a select translation of Otzrot Chayim, a thirty-five volume encyclopedia of the writings of Rabbi Yosef Chayim. Each volume of Otzrot Chayim is a collection of the Ben Ish Chai's teachings on specific topics, such as Torah, Prayer, Repentance, Jewish Holidays, etc. In the Ben Ish Chai Anthology, these teachings have been made available to the English- speaking public for the first time.
