The author, Rabbi Matitya Gerji (1842-1917), was a Halakhic decisor, Bible and Mishna commentator, and head of the Harat Jewish community in Afghanistan. He made Aliyah by foot to the Holy Land with his family in 1906, and settled in Jerusalem.
The book includes three parts: Short commentary and homiletics on 1) the Torah, 2) Psalms, and on 3) Talmud and Kabbalah – all by several Torah giants, especially the Chida and Rav Emanuel Chai Riki. It includes: "Toldot [the History of] the holy Rav the Chida, may his memory be for a blessing."
The book received approbations from all the Sephardi Torah giants of Jerusalem.
On the back of the title page is a dedication in the author's handwriting: "This book is given by the wealthy man… to the Shaar Shalom synagogue of the Yemenites… that they should study it… every Sabbath… and say a Mi Sheberach prayer for the above-mentioned donor."
