Banknotes for Blessing from the Baba Sali
Two banknotes for blessing, from R. Yisrael Abuchatzeira, the Baba Sali.
Two 50-shekel (old shekel) banknotes, given by the Baba Sali to his assistant R. Eliyahu Alfasi. Each banknote is framed. A leaf enclosed with one banknote is signed by R. Alfasi (for authorization); enclosed is a letter by R. Alfasi's wife verifying the authenticity of the banknotes.
R. Yisrael Abuchatzeira, the Baba Sali (1889-1984) was the son of R. Mas'ud – rabbi of Tafilalt (Morocco), son of R. Yaakov Abuchatzeira. An outstanding Torah scholar, well-versed in revealed and hidden realms of the Torah, holy and pure from his youth. He published the writings of his grandfather, R. Yaakov. He served as chief rabbi of Erfoud and the vicinity. In 1950, he immigrated to Jerusalem, returning to Morocco in 1957. In 1964, he came back to Eretz Israel and settled in Netivot. His counsel and blessings were sought by multitudes, including prominent leaders and Torah scholars, and he was famed as a wonder-worker. His sons and grandsons are the famous rabbis of the Abuchatzeira dynasty.
Two banknotes. Each note is framed (frames of different sizes). Fair-good condition. Not examined out of frames.
