Rabbi Shalom Hedaya (1864 – 1944), the son of Rabbi Moshe Hayyim Hedaya and Sabtiah Shamah, was orphaned at an early age and was very poor. He was so poor he had no one to take care of him and he considered leaving the path of Torah in order to earn a living. He was fortunate enough to receive help from Rabbi Shelomo Safdeye, Rabbi Ovadiah Moshe Antebi, Rabbi Shmuel Silvera and Senor Aharon Silvera. He was taught by the great Kabbalist Rabbi Moshe Swed, the Av Beit Din Rabbi Yits`haq Bekhor Mizra`hi and later on Rabbi Shaul Sitton, who became Head of the Rabbinical Court in Buenos Aires.

On his return to Aram Tsuba in 1890 (thirteen years), he became almost blind, and had to study Torah from his memory. Rabbi Hedaya visited Jerusalem in 1890. He developed an illness in his eyes and soon became blind. He traveled to Alexandria, Khedivate of Egypt for surgery and completely recovered there he was analyzed by a famous physician, and his vision was partially returned to him, during which he devoted his essay Shalom Laam (Peace to the People), which discussed the importance of Torah study, justification and the importance of scholars' support to wise students. Part of a complete move to change the face of the Jewish community in Aram Tsuba, with the help of new regulations and arrangements for the benefit of the community and its poor.

After a time, he became very ill and had to travel to Amman, where he was treated and cured. When Rabbi Hedaya returned to Jerusalem, he became the Rabbi of Beit El Synagogue and was given the title Harav Hachasid.
At a young age, Rabbi Hedaya married Sarah Labaton and they had four sons: Rabbi Isaac Hedaya, Rabbi Ovadia Hedaya, Moshe and Ezra, and two daughters, Mazal and Rena. Rena married Rabbi Moshe Ezra Mizrahi and she died at a young age. Mazal married Rabbi Jacob S. Kassin, who became Chief Rabbi of Brooklyn's Syrian Jewish community in 1933.
