During WWI they were deported to Egypt by the Ottoman regime, due to their being foreign nationals. Rabbi Vaknin was sent to North Africa as a charity collector for the Kollelim of Rabbi Meir Ba’al HaNes and the Western Community of Yerushalayim. He published his father’s Seforim, ‘Yalkut David’ on the Sefer ‘Meir Bat Ayin’ (1922), to which he added his own work ‘Yalkut Ben David’.

His Seforim received significant approbations from the Gedolim of his generation.
