Rabbi Yosef Chaim Abitbul, a sofer and Mashgiach in the Chabad Yeshiva in Tzfas, Israel, passed away on Shabbos, 27 Tishrei, 5783.
He was 65.
Rabbi Abitbul was a respected member of the Chabad community in the Givat Shoshana neighborhood of Tzfas. He served as a Sofer of Sifrei Torah and Mezuzos and was a Mashgiach in the Chabad Yeshiva Gedolah in Tzfas.
He recently suffered from health complications, and sadly he passed away suddenly on Shabbos afternoon.
The levaya took place on Motzei Shabbos in Tzfas.

Yakov chaim was a true chosid of the rebbe. With eidelkait and always besimcha together with his wife Nurit, the emuna and bitochon was outstanding , no matter the challenges faced.
Will always remember all the tishrei’s we spent together in Crown heights.

He was a great Chasid, very much dedicated to the teaching of chasidut and the derech of chasidut. Personally he has been the one who introduced me to the learning in depth of the hemshech עב in the 90s! He opened to me a new path that has changed my life.
It is a big loss for the bachurim of the Yeshiva of Tsfat on whom he had such a strong hashpaa.
Bde!!! Amazing kind person!!
