He emigrated without his family to Ottoman Palestine at the beginning of 1891 and shortly thereafter married the daughter of Rabbi Naftali Herz Halevy, the Chief Rabbi of Jaffa. In 1894 (or late 1893), he moved to Jerusalem, but returned to Jaffa in about 1897.
HaLevy was later appointed to serve as the head (Av Beit Din) of the Tel Aviv Rabbinical Court.
Awardsedit
In 1958, HaLevy was awarded the Israel Prize, in Rabbinical literature.[1]
