Rabbeinu the Chabif, Rabbi Chaim Palagi (Palachi) (1788-1868) one of the greatest Sephardic Poskim and Kabbalists of all time. Was born in Izmir to his father Rabbi Yaakov. On his mother’s side he was a descendent of the Rishon LeZion Rabbi Yosef Raphael ben Chaim Chazan author of "Chikrei Lev", served as his Meshamesh and received his Semicha from him. In his Sefer "Tzava’ah MeChaim", Rabbi Chaim recalls his early years: "May Heaven and Earth be my witnesses that since the day I became knowledgeable until I was twenty years old I would study diligently day and night without any Bitul". Rabbi Chaim studied Torah with Rabbi Pinchas di Shigora. In 1837, Rabbi Cahim was appointed Av Beis Din of the great Beis Din of Izmir and in 1855 was appointed Chacham Bashi of the Jews of Turkey. Rabbi Chaim authored dozens of compositions on all subjects of the Torah.
