Rabbi Judah Leon Halfon was born Btitoan northern Morocco tqd in 1879, after the death of his father, Rabbi Jacob, his mother Mrs. Sol, and died on Adar appropriate group Kaf-Tet (21 March 1966). Childhood and youth meetings and also studied at the school of all Israeli friends and gained an education in religious studies tqd are broad and general studies.
He was fluent in several languages: Hebrew (and Aramaic), Spanish, French and Arabic. Possession was one of the most important libraries in the city, including a number of rare books. The image of Rabbi Yehuda is a scholar par excellence, a broad general tqd education - a polymath. He served the community Titoan, first secretary of the community council and its chief rabbi later.
Rabbi Yehuda tqd lived in many crises tqd and upheavals. In 1912, at age 33, Spain established its rule in northern Morocco sponsorship. Moroccan opponents of the war lasted a few years, the Spanish government itself has never been stable, and this eventually tqd led to a terrible civil war, which took place during his rabbinate, and results - Franco's dictatorial regime.
Rabbi Judah was able to maintain good relations with the Muslim authorities and despite all the upheavals, with the Spanish authorities also changing. Modern knowledge of Spanish is also reflected in the speeches he was used to carry large functions due to the Spanish government tqd in the city and used to post articles from time to time in the local papers. There is no doubt that his knowledge and education helped him steer the affairs tqd of the community in any sense.
Rabbi Yehuda Halfon, as the person responsible for order and organization, be sure to keep copies of letters and other important documents out from under him. The two companies, which include copies of handwriting, are now in the collection of Jewish manuscripts from North Africa Yale University.
Initial review of this collection was organized in April 2010 a delegation of researchers I was asked to review the membership of Rabbi Judah. Notebooks, Letter size, each containing five hundred pages made very thin paper, the kind that was used for writing intended by airmail fees.
In each of the pages numbered notebooks. The first notebook includes 367 documents - the first from March 13, 1916 and the last on October 17, 1923, the second booklet utilized only about 340 pages, featuring 238 documents - Sunday November 6, 1923 the ninth and final day of Tevet Tashaz (01/01/1947).

The existence of this important collection first pointed Professor Moshe Bar-Asher, and introduced tqd among other Hebrew letter tqd sent by Rabbi Yehuda Kalfonalfon Dr. Abraham Shalom Yehuda.
In some of the letters written in Spanish, some of these were designed for people in Morocco, is used in Hebrew, according to the rules dictated who Ladino. My time has not yet allowed me to further explore each document, but have not encountered any letter written in Ladino or Arabic, Jewish, tqd and I guess that this will be found.
The rest of the Spanish tqd and French letters written in Latin letters. These two languages were known to him fluently, as stated, but a considerable influence of the French spelling of Spanish writing: it turns out that most of his education in European culture AIU accepted as a student in French tqd and procurement, in both languages, as an autodidact clear.
