Baruch Abuhatzeira (Template:Lang-he; born 1941), also known as Baba Baruch, is an Israeli Kabbalist rabbi and spiritual adviser who operates in Netivot, a blue-collar town in southern Israel. He is the son of the leading Moroccan rabbi Israel Abuhatzeira, also known as the Baba Sali,[1] and thus scion of the Abu Hasira/Abuhatzeira family.
Baruch was born in Arfoud in the Tafilalt region in eastern Morocco. There, he was educated by his father. During his youth Baruch spent several years in Paris. In the mid-1960s, Baruch emigrated to Israel with his father, and he decided to pursue a political career. He was elected deputy mayor in [[Ashkelon] and ran into issues with the law which caused him to be separated from his father for many years. After some time, Abuhatzeira joined his father Baba Sali, and was with him during the last three months of the Rabbi's life.[1]
