Renowned as a “wonder Rabbi” and miracle worker, Rabbi Abu-Hatze’ira, popularly known as the Baba Sali, served as Av Beth Din in Erfoud, near Fez, Morocco. In 1964 he moved to Eretz Israel, eventually settling in the southern development town he made famous, Netivot. He passed away in 1984 on the 4th of Shevat. His grave in Netivot has become a holy site visited by thousands annually.
