The student of Rabbi Yosef Caro, compiler of the Shulchan Aruch, the Alshich is the author of “Torat Moshe”, a commentary on the Tanach. The holy Ari, of blessed memoey, said that he saw the Heavenly entourage coming to hear the discourses of the holy Alshich, and therefore, he too came to listen to his pure and holy words. R’ Moshe Alshich was the teacher of R’ Chaim Vital, who was also a prominent disciple of the holy Ari. He passed away on the 13th of Nissan 5360.
