- 25 Adar — Rabbi Yitzchak Abuchatzeira - Baba Haki
The Resting Place of Rabbi Yitzchak ben Masoud Abuchatzeira, Baba Chaki
Yahrzeit - 25 Adar;
Burial place - Ramla;
Segula - to pray for "Shalom Bayit" - this was his final mitzvah, with which he ascended to the Heavenly Yeshiva.
Chacham Ovadia Yosef, may his merit protect us, often repeated this story, which was told to him by Baba Sali (Rabbi Yisrael Abuchatzeira) himself.
In the town of Netivot, where Baba Sali lived, there was a couple experiencing problems with Shalom Bayit. Baba Sali knew that his brother Yitzchak was very skilled in his methods of establishing peace between husband and wife. So Baba Sali asked his brother to come to Netivot to save the marriage. Rabbi Yitzchak immediately drove to Netivot.
After visiting his older brother, he went to the couple's home to resolve the marital problem, and Ha-Shem helped Rabbi Yitzchak bring shalom bayit into their home. Rabbi Yitzchak returned to Baba Sali's house, where they spoke for a while about Torah. Finally, Yitzchak set out for home in Ramla. On the way, tragedy struck: Rabbi Yitzchak never made it home, because he was killed in a car accident. When Baba Sali heard the tragic news, he refused to accept comfort from anyone. For all thirty days he wept bitterly and blamed himself for his brother's death.
On the night that marked the end of the thirty days, Rabbi Yitzchak came to Baba Sali in a dream and said: "Why won't you be comforted? I did not feel any pain, and I went straight to Shamayim. You have no reason to be distressed over my passing."
The next morning, Baba Sali's face lit up with the realization of the high standing his brother held in Shamayim, but the feeling of pain never left him.
On the trip to Baba Chaki's resting place, at the request of the Yeshiva "Yodei Bina", his son - Mekubal Gaon Yechiel Abuchatzeira - was invited. He spoke about his father, led a prayer, and blessed the participants of the trip.
