Rabbi Chaim Sitton was one of the leaders of the Sephardic community of Tzfat and the author of the work Eretz HaChaim.

Together with Rabbi Shlomo Kavler, he studied the books of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov in the Ari Sephardic Synagogue in Tzfat.

It is told that as a boy he fell from the roof of the tomb of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai during the Lag BaOmer hillula in Meron. His mother, expecting the worst, found him walking unharmed: he explained that an elderly man standing below had caught him in his arms and then told him to enter the room of the holy grave.

He is buried in the Cave of the Sephardic Rabbis in the ancient cemetery of Tzfat. Works: Eretz HaChaim.
