The kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak Alafya (1878-1955) immigrated to Jerusalem as a child and studied at the "Beit El" kabbalist yeshiva. He re-established the custom of Ta'anit Dibur (Vow of Silence) on the days of Shovavim. He founded the "Or Chadash Ve'Tzemach Tzaddik" Yeshiva. Author of "Si'ach Yitzchak", "Re'ach Le'Yitzchak" and more. He was known as a miracle-maker and a man with a Divine spirit (which is reflected in the book before us, which contains hints about the future). The Rishon Le'Zion, Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, said of him that he was one of the 36 hidden Tzaddikim of the generation and supported him in his old age.
