-
Rabbi (or Hakham) Mordechai Sharabi (1908, Jewish Sharab, Yemen – 1983, Jerusalem, Israel) was the founder and rosh yeshiva of Yeshivat Nahar Shalom, a yeshiva for the study of the Kabbalah of the Rashash, in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Mahane Yehuda.
A world-renowned kabbalist, he was accepted by the kabbalists of his time, and had the admiration of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.
A set of three of his books focusing on remedies that built upon Rashash intentions from verses in selected Psalms were published posthumously.[1]
