Rabbi Abraham Azulai was a leading kabbalist and halakhic authority of the 16th–17th centuries, active primarily in Hebron. He was a student of the Safed school of Kabbalah and became known for his deep learning in both Kabbalah and Talmud. Azulai authored several important works, including Ḥesed le-Avraham, a philosophical and kabbalistic commentary. He lived during a period of intense Lurianic kabbalistic study and helped transmit these teachings to the next generation. He was respected as both a spiritual guide and a rigorous halakhic decisor.

About Fez
Fez (Fas), in north-central Morocco, was founded in the early 9th century by the Idrisid dynasty and became the political and intellectual capital of medieval Morocco, home to the Qarawiyyin mosque-university. The historian Ibn Khaldun (d. 1406) taught there for a period, and the Maliki jurist Ahmad al-Wansharisi (d. 1508), author of al-Mi'yar, was active in the city.
