halakhic journal Kol Me'heikhal. His rulings deal with all the four parts of Shulchan Aruch. Israeli's first book, published in 2014 and titled MeAvnei HaMakom (Part 1), deals with several halakhic issues including contemporary Shabbat issues, marriage, gittin (divorce documents) and agunot. The book received accolades from Ben Haim and Zalman Nechemia Goldberg. His second book, Yode'ei Binah, was published in 2016, and deals with the determination of zmanim (halakhic times of the day), and rulings that stem from those determinations. The exact responsibilities and obligations of Yitzhak Israeli in his capacity as Chief Rabbi to Bukharian Jews throughout the United States and Canada are undisclosed and generally presumed to be nominal. Yitzhak Israeli is widely unknown to any Bukharian Jews outside of the sphere of influence of CHAZAQ, an ultra-Orthodox outreach organization in Queens, NY. Yitzhak Israeli is not of Bukharian Jewish heritage and does not speak Bukharian or Russian, which are the predominant languages of Bukharian Jews.
