While still a boy Moses was sent to Adrianople to pursue the study of the Talmud under the supervision of his uncle Aaron.

In 1525 he was appointed rabbi of Safed; he held this office for some fifty-five years, when he eventually moved to Jerusalem.

According to a 16th-century Jewish traveler who visited Safed in 1567, Rabbi Moses di Trani was still living in Safed: ...When God caused me to wander from my father's house, and the fire of this exile burned within me, whether it was in the land of India, and Basra and Babylonia, till mine own mind had almost been confounded; along with Erech and Accad, and Calneh and Nisibis, the place of the reciter of oral traditions, Rabbi Judah ben Bathyra, a man endowed with understanding; and Hamath and Damascus and Syria, and Safed and Tiberias.

There, those who are destined for the world to come are to be found, those who fear God and whose conversation is daily based aright in what concerns men of conviction.
