Shalom Hedaya (1864-1945), a native of Aleppo and member of an illustrious Rabbinic family, moved to Jerusalem as a young man and was soon appointed Chief Justice of the Sephardic Bet-Din of Jerusalem and Principal of the Bet-El Yeshiva This ethical work, Shalom Le'Am became very popular, and in the words of David Sutton: "Many attribute the great respect in Aram-Soba for Torah institutions and Torah scholards to the intense study of this book by the community."
