Rabbi Moshe Ya’akov Ravikov (1873-1967) - the “Holy Shoemaker” from Shabazi Street in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. A hidden tzaddik, mekubal and wonder-worker. Born in Lithuania, a disciple of Rabbi Shlomo Elyashiv author of Leshem Shvo V’Achlama [the Leshem].
Ascended to Eretz Israel in 1913, moved to the city of Yaffo (Jaffa) and opened a shoemaking workshop. Although he hid himself and his powers, the generation’s leaders and mekubalim recognized his amazing righteousness, kept close contact with him and studied from him. It is a well-known fact that the Chazon Ish encouraged him to reveal himself and sent people to receive his counsel and blessings, and many disadvantaged people or people who needed good counsel, arbitration or a loan, sought his assistance and salvation.
