Torah and science in the institutions of Rav Yihye el’Qafih in Yemen

ABSTRACT Rabbi Yihye Qafih (1850–1931) Was one of the greatest Jewish scholars of his generation in Yemen. In this article, we attempted to describe the various institutions connected to rabbi Qafih – those he founded himself, those he managed and those he influenced. A common denominator in all is the integration of philosophy and other secular studies, as a matter of preference and not only adherence to prevailing trends. My assertion is that this did not come about only as a direct influence of modernity or other external forces but rather as part of a consistent, unbroken tradition which started in the school of Maimonides.
