[Avodah] How do Achronim become Rishonim?

[rabbirichwolpoe at aol.com]

 Yes, but the Rambam was NOT one of those Sephardim inclined to be influence by kabbalah
 And FWI, the Beis Yoseph was only occasionally influenced by Zohar. {source Rav Mordechai Aderet}

Rabbi Amir Mashiach recently gave a lecture in a local shul in which

he also pointed out that the Ashkenazi tradition was far more

inclined to give weight to midrashic sources that the Sephardic.

OTHO, he noted that the Sephardic tradition was far more inclined

to give halachic weight to kabbalic and philosophical concepts than

the Ashkenazic.
