His grandson Rabbi Chaim HaCohen (d. 1905) was born in Jerba and learned Torah from the scholars there, becoming an expert in both Kabbalah and revealed Torah.

He published 19 books, including Mitzvot LaMelekh and Lev Shome'a. At the beginning of this book is a dedication handwritten by the author Rabbi Chaim HaCohen to his friend Rabbi Moshe (Bishi) Maimon (d. 1928), author of Divrei Moshe, Yashir Moshe and HaMiluim L'Moshe, and rabbi of Gabès in Tunisia.
