His most notable work is a set of books named Halacha Berura, which is an encyclopedia like commentary on the Shulchan Aruch, with letters of approbation from his father and Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv.

On September 29, 2024, Yosef was elected to serve a ten year term as the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, The Rishon LeZion.

Yosef was formally inaugurated in a crowning ceremony on December 11, 2024 in Jerusalem, where he officially donned the traditional garments of the Sephardic Chief Rabbi.

[7] He previously served as the chief rabbi of the Har Nof neighborhood in Jerusalem,[9] the head of the Yechaveh Da'at Kollel, and a member of the Moetzet Chachmei HaTorah of the Shas party.

He has spoken disparagingly about the Women of the Wall, saying: “these idiots put on tefillin,” that their activity was “promiscuous, coarse, vulgar, immodest and shameless,” and that “they have no connection to authentic Judaism.”[14][15]
