Rabbi Yosef Chaim of Baghdad, known by the name of his best known sefer, was the leading posek and darshan of Iraqi Jewry in the nineteenth century. He is a Sephardic figure in a Yiddish series, which is what makes this volume unusual and worth having. See our Toldos and Sippurim collection . Why Does a Yiddish Series Cover a Sephardic Gadol? Because the series is about the great figures of Jewish history rather than about one community. Leaving out Baghdad would have left a hole. 458 pages makes this the longest of the three volumes Eichlers stocks, which suggests the author thought the subject deserved the room.
