Rabbi Yaacov Abuchatzeira was a kabbalist known for his piety and accustomed to performing miracles. He was a master of charity and his home was wide open to guests.
He used to wake up at midnight to devote the rest of the night to study and meditation. One night, one of his servants heard a strange voice coming from his master's room when he was supposed to be alone. When he wanted to enter the room secretly, a shining light blinded him. He did not recover his sight until he promised his master that he would not divulge the secret of the divine visitation he had received.
His written works include Torah commentaries and ethical works (mostly kabbalistic in nature).
Every year on the 19th of Tevet, a ceremony is held at his grave.
He is the grandfather of Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira, also known as Baba Sali, a revered rabbi whose Netivot tomb is one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in Israel.
