Yalkut Yosef consists of some thirty volumes that summarize the halakhot that every Jew needs to know in order to observe the mitzvot properly. It covers the activities of a Jew on weekdays, on Shabbat and on Yom Tov, according to the halakhic rulings of Maran the Rishon Letziyon, Harav Ovadya Yosef, ZT"L. It is written in a clear, straightforward, and reader-friendly style and is useful for anyone with or without a background in these subjects. Almost 100,000 copies of Yalkut Yosef have been sold to date, making it a best-seller of Torah literature.
The books have been prepared with a focus on our contemporary lifestyle. Many halakhot address circumstances such as hotel stays, businessmen away from home, financial investments, and air- or land-travel.
