Résumé

This work is focused on the Halachic Approach of Rabbi Moshe Chalfon HaCohen from Djerbah. Rabbi Moshe Chalfon HaCohen was born in 1874 and died 1950. He was appointed Chief Rabbi of Djerbah, an island near Tunisia, in 1935, and is considered to have been one of the greatest rabbis of North Africa, particularly of Tunisia and Djerbah.
With the French occupation of Tunisia in 1881, French culture, technological innovations and modernity penetrated the community. All of these affected life in Djerbah and the rabbis, including Rabbi Chalfon, needed to relate to this new situation.
This research deals with two of Rabbi Chalfon’s essays dealing with Halachic responsa: “Brit Kehuna” – a compilation of the Halachic responsa and customs of the Jewish community in Djerbah, and “Shoel Venishal,” a book of Halachic responsa which deals with questions and his answers.
Among other aspects, this research shows Rabbi Chalfon's unique emphasis on the humane aspects of Halacha and his ability to utilize them versus formal considerations.
