Rabbi Moshe ben Machir headed a yeshiva in Ein Zeitim, near Safed, during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Fundraising letters still extant portray it as a typical Sephardic yeshiva of the time, with students studying under one leading Chakham, or head rabbi. The yeshiva was influenced by the kabbalistic and messianic atmosphere in Safed and its curriculum included the Zohar, but it focused more on other areas of Torah study. Moshe ben Machir is best known for his work, Seder HaYom, which sets out a daily program of prayer and behavior to achieve spiritual and personal fulfillment.
