Page Divrei Totah - Kabbalah by Rabbi Moshe Ya’akov Ravikov - “Holy Shoemaker”. - Rabbi Moshe Ya’akov Ravikov (1873-1967) – the “Holy Shoemaker” from Shabazi Street in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. A hidden Tzaddik, mekubbal and miracle-worker. Born in Lithuania, a disciple of Rabbi Shlomo Elyashiv, author of “Leshem Shvo Ve’Achlama” [the Leshem]. came to Eretz Israel in 1913, and after an unsuccessful attempt to settle in Kfar Uriah in the Shfelat Yehuda moved to the city of Yaffo (Jaffa) and opened a shoemaking workshop. Before long, disadvantaged people and people who needed his advice, arbitration or a loan sought his assistance and salvation. Although he concealed himself and his powers, leaders and mekubbalim in his times recognized his astounding righteousness, kept close contact with him and studied from him. It is well-known that the Chazon Ish encouraged him to reveal himself and sent people to receive his counsel and blessings and Rabbi Kook told Rabbi Aryeh Levine that the “Shoemaker” is one of the “lamed vav” hidden Tzaddikim of his generation. Many stories circulated of wonders he performed and his Holy Spirit and it was known that during his lifetime he merited the revelation of Eliyahu the Prophet [this was published in newspapers of those times]. Many people visited his home daily to receive his blessings and saw deliverance. Pages : 1 page, 2 sides. Size : 10 x 16.5 cm Condition : Very good condition.
