Miracles at the Baba Sali
Shavua Tov!
Some more interesting info from the Rav about the ‘near miss’ at the Baba Sali’s hiloula, two weeks ago.
Translated from the Shivivei Or Newsletter 44.
=====
Shiur given over Monday night, 7 Shvat, Parshat Bo (January 22, 2024)
So 40 missiles stood ready to be launched at the hiloula of the Baba Sali.
There were 20,000 people there – and all 20 [thousand] would have gone in a single moment.
At the last moment, in the merit of the prayers and the requests, and the prayers on Shabbat, they managed to prevent this at the last minute – [i.e.] the launch of the 40 missiles at the Baba Sali.
==
But to our sorrow, in Raanana there was a terrorist attack now.
They killed 15 women, 15 men [one woman was killed, the others were injured, some seriously].
And everything is because still, not all the women have lengthened their dresses. They are relying on the black stockings – but it’s not possible.
The black stockings don’t cover up [the shape] of the leg. It’s forbidden to see the leg.
==
Michal said that in her whole life, she’d never seen the leg of her father, and not even the trousers of her father.
Michal used to lay tefillin every day, and she had the highest level of tznius (modesty) – Michal, the daughter of Shaul.
==
So, ‘Merav bat Shaul’ is the gematria of ‘Moshiach ben David Moshiach ben Yosef’.
Because a woman who really merits to lengthen her dress, and to break her Xiomi – she will merit to bring Moshiach ben David, Moshiach ben Yosef, and [to bring] the complete geula, speedily in our days.
Amen.

IN A SEPARATE SHIUR THE DAY BEFORE, GIVEN TO SOME RESIDENTS OF RISHON LE ZION, THE RAV ALSO SPOKE ABOUT THE BABA SALI’S HILOULA. HE SAID THIS:
The whole Torah and all of the mitzvot is so the miracles and wonders will be recognised at every moment.
So, we lay tefillin in the morning so a man knows that everything is miracles – there is no ‘nature’, there is nothing.
Today, now, we’re alive.
Now, they aimed 40 missiles, aimed them at the hiloula of the Baba Sali.
Everyone was at the Baba Sali, I’m sure. Those who live in Netivot were for sure there.
They intended [to fire] 40 missiles – this would have exploded the whole hiloula!
10,000 dead in one second.
At the last minute, they uncovered this.
They managed to prevent it. So now, they are talking about this on all the [media] channels, every where.
40 rockets were intended for the hiloula!
When all is said and done, this is 15 seconds from Gaza – there’s not even time to run away, and there’s not even time to intercept them. 15 seconds!
==
Never mind what the Houthis are firing, there is seven and a half minutes, this is 2000 km, [the rockets travel] 5 km a second.
====
Two weeks ago motzae Shabbat, one of my kids told me she was going to the hiloula of the Baba Sali.
I actually didn’t have a good feeling about it at all – especially when she told me that she was really surprised that the government here had lifted all the restrictions on how many people could attend, etc.
Something about that statement started to ding-off the ‘Meron Atrocity’ bell…
Then, she totally lost her car keys and I breathed a sigh of relief, and drove off to the Rav to catch a bit of the melava malka tefillot there.
====
By the time I got back from the Rav, she happened to have found them again.
But strangely, I didn’t try to talk her out of going, because I seemed to have calmed down about anything ‘bad’ happening, God forbid.
====
God is literally doing open miracles for us all the time.
We have no idea about all the ‘bad’ our enemies have intended the last few months, even though the dose we’ve gotten is still so very bitter, and I’m totally sick of it already.
But each time I hear another story like this, I understand that God still loves us, God is still protecting us 24/7, there literally is no nature, everything is 100% directed, 100% hashgacha.
And it will all turn around for the very best, very soon.
Amen.
