<<Fine association copies.>> Each volume very warmly inscribed to two giants of Torah Judaism: Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (1910-95) renowned Posek and Rosh Yeshiva of Kol Torah, Jerusalem and Rabbi Shalom Mordechai Schwadron (1912-97) “The Maggid of Jerusalem.”
Former Chief Rabbi of Israel, Ovadia Yosef (1920-2013) was a prolific author of over seventy volumes composed across the entire expanse of rabbinic literature. He was the most influential Sephardic leader of his generation and his Shas Movement completely transformed his Sephardic base into a strongly cohesive social and political power. The series Yabia Omer is considered his most important halachic work. He regularly referred to it, often recording in his many other books: “See what I have written at length in Yabia Omer.”
