Nissim Ochana Rabbi of Haifa. [Egypt and Haifa, ca. 1935-1965].

Chaim Nachum, R. Meir Rubman, R. Yosef Shalosh, R.

R. Nissim Ochana (1882-1962) was born in Algeria and immigrated to Eretz Israel in his childhood. He was ordained to the rabbinate by R. Elyashar (the Yisa Beracha) and by R. Shmuel Salant. From 1902-1912, he served as rabbi of the city of Gaza (the central city for the export of barley and absinthe in those days, as he describes it in his autobiography). After the death of his first wife, daughter of the Rishon L'Zion R. Nachman Batito, he remarried the daughter of Jerusalem Kabbalist R. Yitzchak Moshe Ferreira in 1912, and later traveled to the US to serve as rabbi of the Aleppo (Halab) community in NY. During WWI, he served as rabbi in Malta, and in 1920 relocated to serve as rabbi in Port Said, later moving to Cairo in 1935 to serve as Raavad and deputy Chief Rabbi. In 1947, he arrived in Haifa and was appointed Sephardi Chief Rabbi of the city. He authored Na'eh Meshiv (halachic responsa), and Da Ma Shetashiv L'Epikoros (polemic opposing Christianity), etc. Some of his compositions remain in manuscript form [a few sections from them can be found in this archive]. Hundreds of paper items. Size and condition vary.
