R. Yehuda Fatiyah (1859-1942), prominent kabbalist in Iraq and Jerusalem. Disciple of the Ben Ish Chai in Baghdad. After immigrating to Jerusalem in 1934, he studied in the yeshiva for kabbalists under HaRav HaSadeh, alongside his colleague R. Yaakov Chaim Sofer, author of Kaf HaChaim. A posek and kabbalist, he delt extensively in kabbalistic tikkunim and amulets, and over the years was involved in exorcising dybbukim and evil spirits, as he relates in his book HaRuchot Mesaprot. During WWII, he composed kabbalistic prayers and tikkunim, and arranged prayer gatherings of prominent kabbalists for the rescue of Eretz Israel Jewry. He authored Beit Lechem Yehuda, Matok LaNefesh and other books.
