A woman throws a candle to a fire next to the grave compound of Baba Sali, a very high-esteemed Kabbalah Rabbi who passed away in 1984 in Israel and was regarded as a miracle maker by very large populations, in the southern town of Netivot.

Both religious and secular Jews from all around the country visit the compound regulary, and the candle throwing ritual for making wishes and prayers is an integral part of the visit.
