A group of seventy Jews attempting to pray at the graveside of the renowned Rabbi Yaakov Abuhatzeira in Alexandria, Egypt, have been denied permission by the Egyptian authorities. It is Jewish custom to visit the gravesite of a righteous man on the anniversary of his death (Yahrtzeit). In years past, Islamic groups in Egypt insisted that the government prohibit Jews from visiting the grave. They claimed that the Jews behave in unbecoming ways and corrupt the local Moslems. Rabbi Abuhatzeira is the father of the \"Baba Sali\" -- Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira -- who was a renowned kabbalist revered by millions in Israel and around the world.
