context_page_description: Rabbi Yosef Haim HaCohen was the President of the Ma’araviim Community in Jerusalem, as well as the rabbi, dayan, shadar and rabad of the congregation.
context_section_description: The Rabbi had many of his writings and Halachic judgements published both during his life and after. Many of these writings, such as “Kohi V’Reshit Oni”, on masachtot, “Darcheyi Haim”, sermons and novelties on the Torah, are now lost to history.
  Minhat Cohen was the only book published during HaCohen’s lifetime. The book begins with a Rabbinic endorsement by Rabbi HaCohen and contains various Halachic judgements and discussions on Talmudic law.
  Before his death, Rabbi HaCohen gave a manuscript of his work Va’Yechalkhel Yosef to his son-in-law, Rabbi Amram Aburbeh who edited, proofread and published it in 1966 as a kuntris (booklet) within his own book Netivey-Am. Va’Yechalkhel Yosef contains the Rabbi's responsa, as well as additional answers by Rabbis Solomon Eliezer Alfandari and Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld.
   In 2008, a new edition of Va’Yechalkhel Yosef was published by HaCohen's grandson Ehud Avivi.   
  The Rabbi's views on Halachic matters were published in the HaMe’asef Toranic journal edited by Rabbi Ben Zion Avraham Cuenca, Head Judge in Jerusalem.
