The CHIDA — reinterred here from Livorno in 1960

שם הגדולים · ברכי יוסף · חיים שאל

Yahrzeit: י״א אדר · 1806

Born in Yerushalayim in 1724 and niftar in Livorno in 1806, where he was buried. When the Italian authorities planned to run a park and a road over that cemetery, Chief Rabbi Yitzchak Nissim arranged his return: a 600-square-metre plot here, an ohel built over it, and reinterment on 20 Iyar 5720 / 17 May 1960 - a hundred and fifty-four years on, answering his own written wish. Anybody looking for him in Livorno is a century too late and a continent out.
