The great kabbalist Rabbi Yehuda Moshe Petaya (1859-1942) was one of the greatest Kabbalists in Baghdad. He was a disciple of Rabbi Yosef Chaim of Baghdad, the Ben Ish Chai. He was ordained to teach at the age of 17 by Rabbi Abdulla Somekh and at a young age He began to study Kabala with Rabbi Yosef Chaim, and he used to perform "Tikun Nefesh" for the deceased, and the "devils' oaths" in order to remove them from the human body. In 1934 he immigrated to Israel and settled in Jerusalem until his last day.
