Eliezer Nachman Foa was a link in a kabbalistic chain of tradition: His teacher was R. Menachem Azariah (Ram”a) of Fano, and his disciple was R. Moses Zacuto (Rama”z) - both doyens of the Italian school of Kabbalah. In recent years this Hagadah commentary has become popular among followers of the Grand Rabbi of Belz who republished it together with comments by senior notables among the Belz dynasty of Chassidic scholars.
