Todros ben Joseph Abulafia

רבי טודרוס בן יוסף הלוי אבולעפיה היה רב, פרשן התלמוד הבבלי ומקובל, "ראש גלות ספרד" ומנהיג יהדות קסטיליה במאה ה-13.

Todros ben Joseph Abulafia was a nephew of Meir Abulafia and Chief Rabbi of Castile. Born in Burgos, Spain to a prominent rabbinical family, he moved to Castile and was welcomed by the court of Alfonso X of Castile, joining the royal retinue on a trip to France in 1275. He is the author of Otzar HaKavod, a mystical commentary on the Aggadah, among other works. In his sermon Zikaron LeYehudah, he condemned what he saw as a lack of modesty in the community.
