Letter of Recommendation by Rabbi Meir Abuchatzeira – The “Baba Meir”

A letter of recommendation for charity for Rabbi Eliyahu Hayun by Rabbi Meir Abuchatzeira, (Morocco), 1944. "To Yisrael and Rabbis and their disciples wherever they may be… by Meir Abuchatzeira" – 13 lines in the handwriting and signature, of Rabbi Meir Abuchatzeira (died 1983) son of the holy Kabbalist Rabbi Yisrael the “Baba Sali”. A holy kabbalist, known as “Baba Meir”, served as Rabbi of Midelt, Morocco, next to Meknes, but lived most of his life in ascetic service of G-d, barely leaving his home, until his great father modestly said that Rabbi Meir was greater than himself. Torah scholars, Rabbis and heads of yeshivot swarmed to his home in Ashdod, seeking advice and inspiration. His sons are the renowned rabbis of the Abuchatzeira family: Rabbi Elazar in Be'er Sheva, Rabbi David in Naharia, Rabbi Yekutiel and Rabbi Rafael. 27 cm. Good-fair condition, stains and pasting of folding tears. In fancy frame, not examined out of frame.
