Moses Pardo

Moses ben Raphael Pardo (died 1888) was a rabbi and rabbinical emissary. He was born in Jerusalem. After serving as rabbi in Jerusalem for many years, he left the city in 1870 and traveled to North Africa on a mission on behalf of Jerusalem. On his return trip in 1871 he stopped in Alexandria and accepted an offer to serve as the rabbi of the Jewish community there, a position he held until his death. Pardo was the author of Hora'ah de-Veit Din, about the laws of divorce;[1] Shemo Moshe, responsa;[2] and Zedek u-Mishpat, novellae to Hoshen Mishpat.[3][4]

He was a descendant of Rabbi Chaim Joseph David Azulai.[5]
