Rabbi Yaakov Chaim Sofer, better known as the Kaf Hachaim (the name of the monumental halachic work which he authored), was born in Baghdad in 1870. In his youth he studied Torah under the Sephardic greats of the times, such as the Ben Ish Chai.
In the beginning of the 20th century Rabbi Yaakov Chaim emigrated to the Land of Israel, and settled in Jerusalem. There he became renowned as a great kabbalist as well as a recognized halachic authority. He authored an eight-volume book on Jewish law, with a special focus on Jewish law and customs from a mystical viewpoint.
He passed away on the 9th of Sivan in Jerusalem and was buried on the Mount of Olives.
One man carries rocks for a livelihood. Give him emeralds, and all he sees is more rocks.
Another carries diamonds with devotion and care. Give him the emeralds, and he exclaims, “What beauty is here!”
Only one who values his own heritage is able to appreciate the beauty that others hold.
