Rabbi Meir Abuchatzeria (1917-1983), known as the Baba Meir, was a righteous miracle worker and tzaddik. He was the son of the renowned Baba Sali, born to him after ten years of childlessness. From the day he was born, his father consecrated him to a life of Torah, in purity and holiness.

At a young age he was ordained as a Rav, and in 1945 began serving as the Rav of Midelt in Morocco, and in 1953, he was appointed Rav of Erfoud. He immigrated to Eretz Yisrael in 1965 and passed away in Ashdod in 1983.

His son is the tzaddik Rabbi Elazar Abuchatzeira, zt”l.
