Talk:Baba Sali

Untitled
I am taking this statement out:

"However, Rabbi Yisrael staunchly opposed political Zionism. He was quoted as saying that the book VaYoel Moshe, a religious polemic tome against modern day political Zionism, by Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, was the "Tractate of our generation", and would make a celebration when he completed studying this book, as he would for studying a tractate of Talmud."

Where was he quoted as saying this? This statement is not referenced in any way. In fact, the link at the bottom of the article says that the "rabbi's stance towards the Zionist endeavour and the secular State of Israel was known to be essentially favourable." If anyone has the source of this contradictory, and currently un-sourced piece of information, please present it. Until then, this statement will be removed.--Brad M. 22:02, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Severely peacocked
This article is filled to the brim with peacock terms and sentences. I'm cutting it down. --Toussaint (talk) 03:24, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

2nd Wife
I'd love to see details of his second marriage. I know the Baba Sali's second wife and third wife lived in the same time, the second wife lived in Yerushalayim while the third wife lived in Netivot. --Manor Perets (talk) 06:13, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Boudnib / Bodniv?
The wikilinked Moroccan city of Boudnib, where the Baba Sali's career began, is repeatedly spelled "Bodniv" in the article. Should we make consistent use of one spelling or the other, or explain the disparity? --Eliyahu S Talk 09:21, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

From Bodniv to Netivot?
The section Baba Sali ends with the Rav taking up a position in Bodniv, Morocco in the early 1920's. Then the article jumps to his death and burial in Netivot, Israel in 1984. Shouldn't we have something about his life for six decades, and how he moved from the country of his birth and early work to the country of his final resting place? Surely the man must have done something notable in his life to warrant a tomb visited by thousands of pilgrims every year. Content experts? Anyone? --Eliyahu S Talk 09:31, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that's where I left off writing the article. I'll try to get back to it. Yoninah (talk) 11:30, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
