Part I, on the Torah;

In the introduction to the composition on the Torah, the sons describe their holy father and the day of his death: "…Well-known and famous…is his great holiness and piety. He dedicated his entire life to Torah study and devoted service and great fear of Heaven from his youth until…Our own eyes saw on the day of his death…that he sanctified himself like the heavenly Seraphim with yichudim and great fervor which did not cease for one moment until his soul clung to the Heavenly Light…".
At the end of the introduction they write about their father's testament requesting the printing of these books: "…We, the sons of our holy father the author, have expended effort in printing this composition in compliance with his command before his death to print and publish it speedily. The merit of our father should protect us and the entire Jewish People and strengthen Torah and fear of Heaven, and we and all our Jewish brethren should be graced with plenty of blessings and success".
In the introduction to Part 2, the author's sons relate that their father, author of Divrei Chaim studied Tractate Bava Metzia "with great concentration with a group of eminent Torah scholars for over 20 years and that he composed amazing novellae…". They also write that their father's novellae were written with revealed and esoteric interpretations.
