Rabbi Moshe Pardo (1810-1888) was the descendant of great Sephardic sages including the Chid”a and Rabbi David Pardo and a scion of the illustrious Abulafia family. Born and raised in Jerusalem, he immersed himself in Torah until he numbered among the venerated sages and halachic authorities in his generation. In 1870, he set out as a Rabbinical emissary to Diaspora countries in order to raise money for the destitute Yishuv. His published sefarim include Tzedek U’mishpat, Shemo Moshe, and more.
