Rabbi Rachamim Shealtiel Yaakov Ninio (passed away 3 Tishrei 5658 / 1897) was born in Jerusalem to his father, Rabbi Chaim Meir Ninio, a grandson of Rabbi Yaakov Ninio of Safed. He was raised in Torah and fear of Heaven under the great sages of Jerusalem, where he became a prominent scholar in the Kabbalistic Yeshiva 'Beit El' and a preacher at Beit Midrash Nachalat Shiva. He was known for his piety, humility, and devotion to Torah, never leaving Jerusalem throughout his life and enduring great poverty.

In 1875 (תרל"ה), he authored several manuscripts, including Tzedaka U'Kavod, Veyismach Av, and Or HaChama. In 1884 (תרמ"ד), his work Chen U'Kavod was published in Jerusalem with approbations from Rabbi Raphael Meir Panizil and Rabbi Yaakov Shaul Elyashar. In 1893 (תרנ"ג), he published Shemen U’Magen Yerushalmi, also in Jerusalem, with an approbation from Rabbi Yaakov Shaul Elyashar.
