     One Shabbat as he was in his house, he told his wife that he had "Giluy Eliyau", or maybe it looked like Eliyau Anavi in a dream, ask him to leave everything alone and immediately go live in Tsfat City in the Holy Land in order to propagate the practical Kabbalah that he had developed, seeing as how he had only two years to live.
