Rabbi Ben-Zion Meir Uziel was the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Mandatory Palestine and subsequently the first Rishon LeTzion of the State of Israel. He authored the extensive responsa series Mishpetei Uziel, which contains his halachic rulings on a wide array of topics. In addition to his rabbinic posts, he founded several educational institutions for the Sephardic community, including the Machzikei-Torah and Sha'ar Zion yeshivot in Jerusalem.
