On the cover is an inscription in Rabbi Kaduri's handwriting: "My Israel ID is no. 32790", "Telephone no. of David is 247766". This calendar has more than 450 entries including about 1000 names [!] in need of prayer, segulot and amulets for various issues: Education and shidduchim, infertility and marital harmony, physical and mental illness, business matters (real estate and international trade), conflicts between neighbors, etc. The eldest Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri was born at the end of the 19th Century in Iraq, studied Torah and Kabbalah from Babylonian (Iraq) and Jerusalem sages. He immigrated to Jerusalem in 1922 and initially made a living by binding books and manuscripts, while studying in the Beit El and Porat Yosef Yeshivot. Eventually, the word of his Kabbalistic wisdom spread and many sought his counsel, blessings and amulets [he was one of the few who still knew the wisdom of Kabbalistic amulets].
