Psak Beit Din – Singature of the “Baba Sali”
A Halachic verdict, Arpud (Morocco), Elul 1937.
The Halachic verdict is written in Judeo-Arab and in Rabbinical Hebrew: “[=and they have come to a Din Torah and have appeared in front of the great Rabbi, Rabbi Israel Abuchatzeira] one says this while the other says that, and at the end of all appeals and mockeries between the two…”. Signed by the members of the Rabbinical court Rabbi Machluf Elzera and Rabbi Shimon Abuchatzeira (ornate rabbinical signatures). The Baba Sali wrote in his holy handwriting below their words “I am keeping a record of those signatures… Israel Abuchatzeira”.
