The Sephardic community in Queens, NY welcomed Chief Rabbi candidate Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef, author of the essential volumes of 'Yalkut Yosef', a compendium of Jewish law based on the teachings of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. "Rabbi Yitzchak is a Torah authority of tremendous caliber, with Torah knowledge that matches his devotion to G-d, and a knack for presenting Torah rulings that are accurate and easy to observe. We look forward to his election," said a representative of the synagogue that hosted the Rabbi.
