רבי חיים יוסף דוד אזולאי
Rabbi Chaim Yosef Dovid Azulai — moved to Yerushalayim in 1960
The CHIDA — now on Har HaMenuchos, NOT in Livorno
Who he was
Born in Yerushalayim in 1724, shadar, bibliophile and one of the most prolific poskim of his age; the Shem HaGedolim is still the starting point for anyone tracing a sefer or its author. He was niftar in Livorno in 1806 and buried here. His remains were reinterred on Har HaMenuchos in Yerushalayim on 20 Iyar 5720 / 17 May 1960, under an ohel built for him. He is listed on this site at Har HaMenuchos, which is where to go.
