Yosef Karo
Yosef Karo (1488–1575) was a prominent Jewish scholar and halachic authority, best known for authoring the 'Shulchan Aruch', a comprehensive code of Jewish law that has had a lasting influence on Jewish practice. Born in Toledo, Spain, he later moved to Safed in the Land of Israel, where he became a leading figure in the development of Jewish legal literature. Karo's work synthesized earlier legal texts and provided clear guidelines for observance, making it accessible to a broader audience. His approach to Jewish law continues to be studied and revered in religious communities around the world.
