Sefardi community members of Crown Heights gathered for the annual Hiloula of Rabbi Yaacov Abuhatzeira hosted by Merkaz Sefarad Chabad and the Zaetz family.
Rabbi Yaacov Abuhatzeira is the grandfather of the Baba Sali זצוק”ל whose Hiloula is two weeks later on 4 Shevat.
20 Tevet is also the Hiloula of the Rambam and the grandfather of the Rabbi Chaim ben Attar, otherwise known as the Or Hachaim Hakadosh.
The annual Hiloula also takes place just days before 24 Tevet, which is the Hiloula of the Alter Rebbe.
Participants enjoyed an inspiring evening with special guest speakers, singing by Dovid Atias, traditional Moroccan foods, and live music accompanied by excellent Paytanim.
The Hiloula is partially sponsored by Mrs. Chaya Zaetz, a granddaughter of the Baba Sali, and her family, and the Merkaz Sefarad.
The next Hiloula for Baba Sali will take place Wednesday evening January 25th at 800 pm at Lubavitcher Yeshiva
