summary

Raphael Ankawa (1848-1935), president of the Rabbinical Court of Rabat, Morocco, was the supreme leader of Moroccan Jewry. The high regard in which his rabbinic works (Karnei Re'em and Toafoth Re'em) were held resulted in halachic queries being addressed to him not only from across North Africa but also from Jews throughout Europe. R. Ankawa’s tomb in his hometown of Sale has since become a shrine. See S. Wanunu, Encyclopedia Arzei HaLevanon (2006) Vol. IV, p. 1922-24.
