His Father's Charge

When Yisrael was still a young boy, his father told him, "My child, you have a great power to bless people, which you cannot measure. Your words can bring great help to others. From now on, you must use this power to speak well of others and to bless them."

Young Yisrael gave his word. Soon it became known that the blessings of this child brought miraculous results, and he became famous as the Baba Sali.
