Yosef Karo, expelled from Spain as a child, was a rabbi, Talmudist, mystic and the pre-emiment halachic codifier. His best-known work, the Shulchan Aruch, was accepted in his lifetime and formally recognized thereafter as the definitive statement of Jewish legal and religious practice. He also wrote basic commentaries on the Mishneh Torah and the Arba'ah Turim (the latter forming the basis from which the Shulchan Aruch was distilled). He was also a mystic who received heavenly revelations. Some of these were set down in writing and formed the impetus to come to the Land of Israel. There, he lived in Tsfat, where he took a central role in the attempt by his teacher, Rabbi Yaakov Berav, to revive traditional rabbinic Semikhah.
