Pinchas Kehati

Pinchas Kehati

Pinchas Kehati (1910 – December 21, 1976) is the author of משניות מבוארות "Misnayot Mevuarot" (literally "Clarified Mishnayos", popularly known as "the "Kehati Mishnayot") which is a commentary and elucidation on the entire Mishnah. This work was written in Modern Hebrew. This work was translated into English and published in 1994 as "The Mishnah".

Rabbi [Pinhas Kehati translated by Edward Levin, "The Mishnah", Dept. for Torah Education and Culture in the Disaspora, Jerusalem, 1994.] Pinchas Kehati worked as a teller in the Israeli Bank, Bank Mizrachi. Even though he was a Religious Zionist, his works can be found in many Haredi homes and Synagogues.

Kehati wanted to spread Torah throughout the world, so he sought to write a clear, concise, and easy-to-read commentary and elucidation on the entire Mishnah.

Between 1955 and 1964, he published a weekly pamphlet which was hand-delivered to 5,000 subscribers. In each pamphlet, he explicated 14 Mishnayos (two per day), two laws from the Shulchan Aruch, two laws from the Rambam, and a selection from Tanakh. After a few years, his pamphlets were published as books and many editions were printed.
