In his younger years he moved to Jerusalem and worked as servant in the house of Rabbi Gedaliah Chayun, head of the Kabalists Yeshiva Beit El. After some time, the greatness of the RaShash was revealed and understood by Rabbi Gedaliah Chayun. When Rabbi Chayun died in 1752, the RaShash was appointed the Rosh Yeshiva if Yeshivat Beit El.

Upon formulating the said Siddur, it quickly became the accepted Siddur of the Kabalists. Only after he was appointed Rosh Yeshiva did his signature change to the rabbinic curly style. In this book of Yalkut Reuveni his signature is a regular, more block style signature, which can be found in other letters and books even after his appointment when he chose to sign in the non-formal style.
