Isaac ben Jacob Alfasi ha-Cohen (1013–1103) - also known as the Alfasi or by his Hebrew acronym Rif, was an Algerian Talmudist and posek. He is best known for his work of halakha, the legal code Sefer Ha-halachot, considered the first fundamental work in halakhic literature. His name "Alfasi" means "of Fez" in Arabic, but opinions differ as to whether he ever lived in Fez.
