Prominent Kabbalist and Wife Die on Eve of Jewish Holidays

By כיכר השבת, חזקי שטרן
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Rabbi David Batsri, a renowned Kabbalist, passed away on Sunday, the eve of the Sukkot holiday. His wife, Rabbanit Tzipora Batsri, also died on the eve of the Passover holiday in a previous year. The couple was known for their modest lifestyle and reportedly did not wish for extensive eulogies.

Rabbi Batsri was a significant figure in religious circles, and his passing was mourned by many.

His wife's death on the eve of Passover, another major Jewish festival, has drawn attention due to the parallel timing with her husband's passing on the eve of Sukkot.
