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]
His student, Rabbi Benayahu Shmueli, leads Yeshivat Nahar Shalom today. Other notable students include Rabbi Meir Levi, teacher of Rabbi Ariel Bar Tzadok of Kollel Bnei Neviim,[2] and Rabbi Elazar Mordechai Koenig, spiritual leader of the Breslov Hasidim of Safed.[3]
