The opening as it read in 2025

Raphael Isaiah Azulai ( Hebrew : רפאל ישעיה אזולאי ; c. born in Hebron 1743 – 9 Shvat, 1826 or possibly 1830 ) was a rabbi in Ancona until his death. He was the firstborn of Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azulai . One of his daughters married Abraham Pardo , son of the renowned rabbi David Pardo ; and her grandson Moses Pardo was rabbi of Alexandria from 1871 to 1888. He was the author of a number of responsa and decisions, which appeared partly under the title Tiferet Mosheh (The Splendor of Moses), and partly in the Zikron Mosheh of his son Moses (No. 10).
