	Ben Ish Chai (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		'''Ben Ish Chai''', "Son [of] Man [who] Lives", (actual Hebrew name Yosef Chaim) was a Sephardic Judaism rabbi (''chacham'') and Kabbalist who lived in Baghdad from 1832 to 1909.
		The Ben Ish Chai is considered by some, to be the "Sephardi Kitzur Shulchan Aruch" - it is the standard reference in Sephardi homes and is used in Sephardi eshivot.
		He wrote an esoteric exposition of Jewish law in MeKabtziel which he refers to in Ben Ish Chai for more detailed explanations of his reasoning for certain decisions (see 2 Samuel 23:20) The most respected Sephardic yeshiva, Ben Porat Yosef, was founded in Jerusalem by one of Rabbi Chaim's patrons at the rabbi's insistance.

		Although the Shulhan Aruch expressly forbade it, even if men in that particular area do it, nevertheless the Ben Ish Chai gave testimony that this was the minhag among the men of Baghdad and he defended the minhag.

		There is a teaching by the Ben Ish Chai, a 20th century rabbi and mystic from Baghdad, on the ways in which Pesach teaches us about the unification of and openings between the four kabbalistic worlds.

		In fact, it took no greater of a luminary that the Holy Ari to "sense" that a certain spot where he was hiking with his disciples some 500 years ago on the outskirts of Tsfat, was indeed the resting place of ben Yehoyada.
		The Ari honed in on the grave of the sage who was not only considered the most brilliant warrior of his day, but whose extraordinary Torah knowledge and virtues destined him to become the leader of the highest Torah law body, the Sanhedrin.
		While everyone's prayers to a sage at his gravesite are private, one can't help but wonder how many visitors long for the likes of such a righteous warrior -- a warrior on behalf of the land of Israel, the Torah and the Jewish people -- to rise to the leadership today.

		Now as for the question of lifting one’s heel, the Ben Ish Chai says to increase the height with each lift, while the Kaf HaChayim says to lift equally each time.
