Obj. ID: 53448  Rav Yitzhak Cadoori, Manuscript, Israel, circa 1980

The following description was prepared by William Gross:

This manuscript is an autograph manuscript from Rav Kadoori, the greatest of contemporary Kabbalists in Israel. This is a list of meetings he held with people coming to him with requests.  It was his habit to record each such meeting, listing the reasons for it and the goralot by which he determined what to do. He then wrote down his amuletic recommendations, and in many instances later records the results as well in addition to comments on any subsequent meetings with the petitioner. There is no record of any other Kabbalist who kept such detailed records of his work with individuals for whom he wrote amulets or made Kabbalistic recommendations.

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.
