Rabbi Moshe ben Yeshaya Katz was the nephew of Rabbi Naftali Katz, rabbi of Posen. He left Vienna during the expulsion of the Jews in 1670, and wandered through several communities before settling in Berlin. In his introduction to his commentary on the Hagaddah he states that he planned to travel to Eretz Israel with Rabbi Yehuda Hachassid but was unable to do so.
