Support for Rav Efraim Kachlon

Rav Ovadia Yosef - Chief Rabbi and President of the Council of Sages

2 Shevat 5769 (i.e. 1/27/2009)

A Letter of Support 

I have been brought the drafts of the Responsa "Ach Tov L’Yisrael"- questions and answers on 4 parts of the Shulchan Aruch, written by an expert, a loyal plant, like a jar of the manna, with all the sweet Torah explanations, praiseworthy among the pious, like good oil and of good reputation, giving clear reasons and interpretations of Halacha, the genius Rabbi Efraim Kachlon shlit"a, who toils to give with full faith the words of our Sages, early and later ones, new and old, to conclude in the Halacha.  Praiseworthy is his mother and his power is for the Torah.

And nothing else is needed to add but a blessing, may he complete the book soon and his wellsprings be spread everywhere in order to raise the Torah and glorify it, out of peacefulness and tranquillity.  May he be blessed with all the good blessings, may he succeed everywhere he goes, and his name and reputation shall grow like the name of one of the greatest sages in the world, with praise and glory.

Rav Ovadia Yosef

I join the blessing of Rav Ovadia shlit”a, and may his wellsprings open everywhere and he spread his Torah. Lots of success, Rav Meir Mazuz
