the renowned Kabbalist Rabbi Naftali Hertz HaLevi (Weidbaum) Av Bet Din of Jaffa (1852-1902) was a leading Kabbalist in Lithuania and Jerusalem. Disciple of the Maharil Diskin, he immigrated from Bialistok to Jerusalem in 1884 and lectured at the Degel Torah Yeshiva.

In 1886, he was appointed by Rabbi Shmuel Salant to the rabbinate of Jaffa and settlements in Eretz Israel and was the first rabbi of the Ashkenazi community in Jaffa. He wrote and edited many kabbalist books of his teachings and those of the Gaon's disciples: “Yahel Or”, “Omer Man”, “Brit Olam”, “Kesef Mishneh” on the book Mishnat Chassidim, “Siddur HaGra Ba'Nigleh U'Va’Nistar”, etc.
