The Chassid Rabbi Yosef Yavetz (1440-1508) was one of the greatest rabbis of Spain in the generation of the Expulsion. Studied Torah with Don Yitzchak Abravanel and was the brother-in-law of the author of the Akeidas Yitzchak – Rabbi Yitzchak Arama. Rabbi Yosef was one of the pillars supporting the exiled Jews of Spain. After the expulsion, he travelled with his son to many cities (Napoli, Ferrara and more) to support the exiles – financially yet mostly mentally and spiritually.

His mother indeed named the baby in his name, adding the name ‘Zvi’. The holy Rav of Lizhensk said ‘Zvi is not Melech’ and he will be a Chatzi Melech … Authored the greatbook the Bnei Yissachar and dozens of additional works.
