<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Acronym for Rav Yitzchak the son of Yaakov HaKohen Alfasi (al-fasi, or from Fez, Morocco).He was born in Algeria in 1013, moved shortly thereafter to Fez, and fled to Spain at the age of seventy-five, ultimately settling in Lucena. His major work is his ''[[Sefer HaHalachot]]'', an abridged version of the Talmud that incorporates only the sections of the Talmud that deal most directly with the law, leaving out much of the lengthy discussions and anecdotes. Setting a precedent for many later codes of law, his work focused only on laws that were practical in his time, and thus the work does not cover a majority of ''[[Zeraim]]'', ''[[Kodshim]]'', and ''[[Taharot]]''. His teachers included [[Rabbeinu Chananel]] and Rav Nissim, and his students included Rav Yehuda HaLevi (Author of the ''[[Kuzari]]'') and Rav Yoseif MiGash (teacher of Maimon and His son, [[Rambam]]).</div>
