The present work is a literary paen to the Holy City of Tiberias, noting the history of its rabbis and yeshivas, synagogues and cemeteries, as well as the surrounding countryside, the lake and the hot springs. Born in Tzfat, Moshe Kliers (1874-1934) was a Slonim Chossid and scholar with particular expertise in the laws pertaining to the Land of Israel, issues such as Terumah and Shmittah. In 1925 he published an extensive halachic work on these subjects under the title Torath Ha’aretz. See Otzar HaRabanim no. 15098.
