Yitzchak Kaduri (Hebrew: יצחק כדורי, Arabic: اسحق قدوري‎), also spelled Kadouri, Kadourie, Kedourie; "Yitzhak" (died January 28, 2006),[1] was a renowned Mizrahi Haredi rabbi and kabbalist who devoted his life to Torah study and prayer on behalf of the Jewish people. He taught and practiced the kavanot of the Rashash. His blessings and amulets were also widely sought to cure people of illnesses and infertility. In his life, he published no religious articles or books.[2] At the time of his death, estimates of his age ranged from 103 to 118, and his birth year is still disputed.

His funeral in Jerusalem drew over half a million followers in what was described as the largest funeral in Israel's history.
