Welcome to the Daily Holy Story. In a settlement next to the city of Netivot, a farmer used to visit the Holy Baba Sali. He would always bring large quantities of fruits and vegetables from the yield of his fields as a token of appreciation to the Holy Baba Sali. One day, the farmer had a large field of onions. He discovered that the leaves above the ground were stricken with a terrible fungus that could destroy his entire onion field. So he brought an agricultural professional to inspect the leaves and hopefully remove the fungus. The man inspected the onion field and informed the farmer that probably all the onions in the field would die and all his work would go to waste.
The farmer did not delay. He entered the home of the Baba Sali and cried to him that his field was going to be destroyed. The Baba Sali promised the farmer that not only would the onion field not be destroyed, and the onions would survive, but he would sell them at a premium price over all other onion farmers. In addition, he gave him a bottle of water that the Baba Sali had blessed. They were holy waters. He told them, “Take this water and sprinkle it onto your onion field, and all will be well.”
The farmer took the water to his onion field and took his hose, which was filled with insecticide. He removed the insecticide and sprayed his onion field with the holy waters. Two days later, the inspector came and was amazed that the fungus on the leaves was gone. When he asked the farmer what he had done, he was even more amazed. The farmer told him that he had spread the holy waters of the Baba Sali onto his field, and the fungus had disappeared. Not only that, but the yield of the onions was so successful, before any other onion fields of other farmers, and he was able to sell the onions at a true premium price. Have a wonderful, wonderful day.
