Rav Yosef Moshe Adess zt"l
Rav Yosef Moshe Addess (1923-1991). Born to Rav Yaakov Addess, he learned at the Porat Yosef yeshiva in the Old City during his youth. There he became very close to the rosh yeshiva, Rav Ezra Attia. In 1952, he began to teach in the Tzofiof shul in the Bucharian neighborhood of Yerushalayim. On Friday mornings, he always taught mussar, mainly from the sefer Peleh Yoetz (interesting that its author shared his yahrtzeit). These mussar shiurim were published later by a student, under the title Kochvei Or. He became Rosh Yeshiva, Porat Yosef, Yerushalayim. His son, Rav Yaakov, became rosh kollel of Maalos Yosef, and his son Aaron heads the various chessed projects started by Rav Yosef. He died on the same date that he was born. (19 Tishrei, according to Yated 2006)
