'''Rabbi Moshe Alshich''' was a 16th century Rabbi who lived in [[Safed|Tezfas]] during its [[Ottoman-Rule-of-Safed-1517-to-1759|Golden Era]]. He was a student of [[Rabbi Yosef Karo]] and his students included Rabbi Chaim Vital and Rabbi Yom Tov Tzahalon. Rabbi Moshe Alshich was known for his homiletical sermons and authored close to 20 books, most notably the 'Torat Moshe'.

==Kever Rabbi Moshe Alshich==
Rabbi Moshe Alshich is buried either directly above or inside the cave of the 'Elders of Tzfat' in the city's [[Ancient Tzfat Cemetery|old cemetery]]. Most people visit the Tziyun built on top of the cave, where some people claim the Alshich Hakadosh is buried. Others say he is buried inside the cave along with [[Rabbi Yakov Beirav]]. A Tziyun was then built as a marker directly above the actual location of the Kever inside the cave, as is found by a number of other [[Kivrei-Tzadikim|Kevrei Tzadikim]].

===Hillula of Rabbi Moshe Alshich===
The yahrzeit of Rabbi Moshe Alshich fals out on the 13th of Nissan, the day proceeding Erev Pesach. This is the same day as the Hillula of [[Rabbi Yosef Karo]]. Since both Kevarim are in very close proximity many people pray by both when attending the Hillulas.
