The author, Rabbi Yisrael of Shklov, leader of the Vilna Ga'on disciples’ Aliya to Eretz Yisrael, is mentioned in the title page and in the approbations as one who was “formerly a substitute in the city of Shklov and now resides in the Upper Galilee”. In the author’s introduction, much material is presented pertaining to the history of his rabbi and mentor the Vilna Ga’on and his disciples and in a self-deprecating and admirable manner he mentions the greatest disciple Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin “prominent disciple, glory of the generation… proficient in the revealed and concealed facets of Torah… Av Beit Din and Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Of Volozhin…”.
