Baba Sali
he life, piety, teachings and miracles of Rabbi Yisrael Abuchatzeirah
Miracle worker, revered Rabbi, devoted Talmudic scholar, holy man, leader and teacher of the Sephardic community in Morocco and Israel -- these all describe one man: Rabbi Yisrael Abuchatzeirah, lovingly known to his thousands of followers as Baba Sali, Arabic for "our praying father."
Through his countless miracles, Baba Sali was revered by his devoted followers. His passing in 1984 saw over 100,000 mourners flocking to his gravesite within 24 hours. In this book, Rav Eliyahu Alfasi, Baba Sali's shamash, and Rav Yechiel Torgeman, his grandson, provide a special glimpse into his life and teachings, proving that the saying "The tzaddik declares, and G-d fulfills" perfectly applied to Rav Yisrael Abuchatzeirah, the beloved "praying father" of Sephardic Jewry.
