Responsa

Rabbi Yaakov HaLevi from Mirevelles was a scholarly sage and one of the Tosafists. Yet, remarkably, he had the gift of kabbalistic wisdom and was able to ask questions in Jewish Law from the heavens and receive answers.

Over 5000 answers by the Rishon LeZion, Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef, have been compiled into the book 'Responsa of the Rishon LeZion'. In a fascinating discussion, Rabbi Abdiel Israeli, a disciple of the Rishon LeZion, shares the journey to compile the responsa, about two intensive months of work, and what he heard from his teacher along the way. There's even an answer for a 10-year-old child.
