Flying Carpet

Itzik Dadya – Afiko.man – Alex Clare

The holy Baba Sali Z’Ya was a light for all of Klal Yisroel. His devotion to each and every Yid is something that is still felt today, and we strive to connect to this Tzaddik through our own care, concern, and ahavas yisroel.

This song reaches back to the roots of his holy family, to Rabeinu Shmuel, the great grandfather of the Baba Sali and a massive tzaddik in his own right. When he needed to cross the sea for a mitzvah and was refused entry onto a ship because he had no money, he took out his simple rolled mat, a “chatzera,” sat on the shore and learned Torah. As the boat pulled away, he moved too, gliding calmly across the water on that mat like a floating carpet, still learning, still unshaken.

That miracle is what gave the family the name Abuchatzera, “father of the mat.” And that is why we sing about flying on the carpet with the holy Baba Sali, it is fun, but it is also real, a living reminder of the Torah, emunah, and love for every Yid that shines through this tzaddik and his lineage.
