Yalkut Yosef

Yalkut Yosef (Hebrew: ילקוט יוסף, "Collation of Yosef") is an authoritative, contemporary work of Halakha, providing a detailed explanation of the Shulchan Aruch as based on the halachic rulings[1] of the former Rishon LeZion Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.

Yalkut Yosef is written to give practical halachic guidance to Jews of Sephardi and Mizrahi origin; it is widely cited, and a growing number of synagogues and yeshivot are using the work for study purposes.

It currently covers almost all of the Orach Chayim section of the Shulchan Aruch, and parts of Yoreh De'ah dealing with Kashrut.

[3] A new English edition, "The Saka Edition-Yalkut Yosef",[4] is currently being published under the leadership of Rabbi Yisrael Bitan of Haketer Institute of Jerusalem.

Haketer Institute plans on publishing 33 volumes which will cover all areas of Sephardi Halacha observance.
