The author originally hailed from Constantinople but later emigrated to Florence after losing his “health, wealth and children.” In Florence, he was appointed director of the city’s Talmud Torah and, in order to thank his benefactors, “who made me into a new person,” he published these sermons which had been delivered weekly at the Yeshiva.
