"Mikvah"
When Baba Sali has Boudenib זיע"א settled, he began to seek what went wrong in the city, and saw that there was no mikvah, until, women immersing themselves in the river near the city, risking their lives, but with a extreme modesty and never be seen by anyone. But at the coming of "Baba Sali our master" in Boudenib, the French ruled already, there was a large military camp and French soldiers who were watching the women submerge. Our teacher felt he had to notify urgently to save the daughters of Israel from the eyes of soldiers, so they built a mikvah immediately, similar to all others in the region of tafilaleth. It pierced the earth to find water, then the wells were built around a tank, stairs to go down, and so we immerse himself in spring water, winter or summer, no heating, all of mikvaoth tafilaleth were built on this model, including the Boudenib, over time, there were several landslides in the well, the mikvah is filled with dust, mud and silt, the water source and became impoverished impossible to dive as demand Halakha.
Baba Sali זיע"א decided to restore the mikvah, emptying, to coat the concrete walls and to pave the ground for concrete slabs with openings According to the din, he brought the best Jewish Masons, explains his plans, and asked:''HOW LONG WILL THE WORK "?! At least two years was the answer ...
- Baba salty זיע "א asked them how will there be to immerse yourself?
-In the river as it always has.
-IMPOSSIBLE! our teacher said, women can not immerse themselves before men! He decided to make a mikvah in the courtyard of his house, and let it fill with rainwater, the rabbis tried to dissuade him, because it has rained almost never there, but only lent them Baba Sali no attention, masons worked for 2 months for the mikvah in the courtyard of his house, and dug a canal linking it to the street, the end of which was placed a kind of small groove "metal" in which rainwater flowed into the mikvah, the work ended in "Tammuz" in midsummer, the region of tafilaleth, particularly Boudenib is part of the Sahara desert, and even in winter it is very rare that rain, not to mention the hot summer! !, despite all our Master went out on the doorstep of his house with a deep trust in the goodness of D. ..
looked skyward and said "MASTER OF THE WORLD! We did what we could, do yourself the rest, in the name of holiness and purity of the people of israel, and pour on us showers of blessing, until the mikvah is full!.
Then he returned to his study, and has sent an emissary Rabbi Avraham amouial יצ"ו, asking him to verify that everything was ready and that nothing would prevent rainwater from flowing into the mikvah, the clouds suddenly covered the sky and a heavy rain began to fall .. Until the mikvah is full. Everyone watched this strange spectacle. When its inhabitants constatèrent their eyes that the mikvah was filled waters of the rain miracle, the city of Boudenib was in jubilation, but a cloud darkens the face of Baba Sali זיע"א a view of the gutter metal water channel leading to the mikvah.
-What Does he? " Do we asked fearfully.
-The mikvah is unusable in the opinion of "Noda Bihyouda" he replied "
Why?
-Due to the small metal groove. I consider the decision of" Noda Bihyouda''that the mikvah is unusable, so it needs emptying. A terrible silence fell
, and these rabbis began immediately, arguing that when there is an isolated view contrary, and that when a case is urgent, and also that it was the first time it rained in the summer! Rabbi
-Yihya Edhan זצוק"ל rose with deep emotion and said: My master
! Under my full responsibility, vis a vis the same sky,
affirm that this mikvah is kosher, and I beg you not to declare it unusable.
Do you then it'll be another miracle and rain to fall'll recover? "But Baba Sali זיע"א does not let himself be impressed by the intervention of his close he ordered to empty the mikvah, and replace the gutter, a gutter "wood"! short, we emptied the mikvah and the gutter was replaced on the instructions of our Master.
Once the work is completed, Baba Sali זיע"א went out again on the threshold of his house and said "OUR MASTER AUTHOR OF" NODA BIHYOUDA "We have complied FOR YOUR OPINION, WE said mikvah UNUSABLE, AND WE VID e . T'IMCOMBE DUTY NOW TO ENSURE THAT HE MEETS RAINWATER METS YOU IN PRAYER TO THE CREATOR OF THE WORLD AND RENEWS CALLS HIM THE MIRACLE AND THAT WE SEND ONE OF RAIN BLESSING IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE'S Purity OF ISRAEL.
Even before he had time to return home, the north wind began to blow, clouds covered the sky and heavy rain began to fall.
When the mikvah was full she stopped! As
the first time. Whole assembly of rabbis, headed by rabbi Yihya Edhan were astounded at the magnitude of the second miracle, he immediately organized a prayer of thanks to D '... for his immense generosity. This incident spread the reputation of our Master across Morocco just like a prayer which is certified and capable of attracting miracles from that time on there, they began to come rushing to his door across the Maghreb.
