Avraham Fish ztzk”l, and he would use them on Motzaei Shabbos Kodesh at Melaveh Malkah. ” The Mekubal and hidden Tzaddik Rabbi Avraham Yechiel Fish, “the holy builder, ” was of the inner circle of the group of hidden Tzaddikim Rabbi Yosef Waltuch, Rabbi Moshe Yaakov Ravikov, and Rabbi Yehuda Patilon, who concealed themselves and lived as simple people among the people, although in practice they were exalted holy men and wrought salvations. After Maran the Baba Sali recognized him and saw the greatness of his soul and his power, he instructed Rabbi Fish to reveal himself. Many masses gathered in his shadow and were helped through his blessings, among them Gedolei Torah and important and famous Rabbis. Thus it is related about Rabbi Fish’s Melaveh Malkah meals: “ How splendid was the appearance of Rabbi Avraham at the “Melaveh Malkah” meal. Many from throughout the country would gather and come to his modest and simple home at 32 Kalischer Street in Tel Aviv. The candles were always lit in the center of the table, twenty-six in number, corresponding to the numerical value of the Name Havayah. ”
