The venerated Yemenite mystic Shalom Mizrachi Sharabi (d. 1720-77), was the most important Kabbalist throughout the Orient and North Africa. He directed the celebrated Kabbalist “Beth El” Yeshiva in Jerusalem. The anonymous author here cites throughout many rulings in the name of his unidentified teacher, “Mori VeRabi.” The section on repentance contains atonments for specific sins, quoting from Sepher Chassidim, Yesh Sachar (R. Yissachar Ber of Kremnitz) and the Shela’h.
