Sephardic Community to Mark Yahrzeit of the Baba Sali

In honor of the 41st hiloula of the Baba Sali, Merkaz Sefarad Chabad and granddaughter of Baba Sali, Mrs. Annette Lipsker, will host an uplifting evening for the Sephardic community in Crown Heights. The event will feature song, dance, and special tefilos for Am Yisroel, taking place in the Grand Ballroom of Oholei Torah.

This Sunday night, 4 Shvat / February 2nd, marks the 41st yahrzeit and Hiloula of the Baba Sali.

Merkaz Sefarad Chabad and Mrs. Annette Lipsker, a granddaughter of the Baba Sali, and her family, will be hosting the annual Hiloula in Crown Heights.

Given the overwhelming turnout of over 600 people at last year’s event, it was decided to make this year’s Hiloula in the Grand Ballroom of Oholei Torah.

Hillel Melloul, a pianist and singer from Marseilles, France, will return with a drummer and guitarist to lead the evening in song and dance.

The event will feature a live connection to the Tzion of the Baba Sali in Netivot, Israel, steamed on screens and YouTube, allowing participants to pray at the Kever of the Tzadik.

Divrei Chizuk from prominent Rabbonim from Israel and America will be broadcast and delivered live, along with special Tefilot for Am Yisroel, for our soldiers and the remaining hostages and all those injured by the war.

A delicious Moroccan meal of Moroccan fish, couscous and meatballs, with fancy deserts and fruits, will be served by Mayer Cohen Caterers.

A $36 suggested donation will be collected at the door, to help cover the increased costs associated with this larger event.

Baba Sali’s Hiloula will take place this Sunday night, 4 Shvat / Feb 2nd, at 8:00 pm at Oholei Torah, located at 667 Eastern Parkway.

Separate sections for men and women will be available.

The Hiloula will also coincide with Merkaz Sefarad’s first Charidy campaign, aimed at supporting its continued operations as a key center for the Sephardic Jewish community in Crown Heights and beyond. Donations can be made at www.charidy.com/merkazsefarad

Sponsorship opportunities are available by contacting Rabbi Avtzon at Merkazsefarad gmail.com.
