Sephardic Legacy Series was founded in 2007. The founder, Yehuda Azoulay, envisioned an institute that would inspire Sephardic Torah Jewry through numerous publications, articles, and extensive research on vast Sephardic essential topics.

These projects would only enable us Sephardic Jews to preserve our Sephardic heritage, tradition and culture for the future generations to come. We are dedicated to ensuring that the history, legacies and traditions of the great Sephardic communities throughout the world be recorded and remembered as an integral part of our rich heritage for generations to come. We mainly act to preserve and promote Sephardic Torah literature in the English language.

Founder
Yehuda Azoulay is a young and passionate individual who is devoted to his studies in Torah, research, education, and Jewish history. He attended Ohr Haemet Sephardic School, Ner Yisrael Toronto, and Yeshivah Darchei Torah, and continued his post high school studies at Yeshivat Mikdash Melech in Yerushalayim and Yeshivah Beth Medrash Govoha of Lakewood, New Jersey.

He is the author of two renowned publications A Legacy of Leaders, Volume One & Two and is a columnist in Community magazine. Yehuda’s works capture the essence of great Sephardic luminaries from our recent past in a way that is interesting, accessible, and inspiring.

Yehuda is the founder of the Sephardic Legacy Series, which he envisions will help structure future Sephardic Torah publications, as well as other works geared to Sephardic communities worldwide. Yehuda is passionately committed to spreading awareness of the great knowledge and deeds of the Sephardic hachamim of both past and present. He hopes to create for Sephardic Jews everywhere a pride in their heritage and an intensified faith in Hashem and His Torah.
