WHEN WAS THE
BA'AL SHEMTOV NIFTAR?
WHO DID THE TAHARA & KEVURAH?
In a Ksav Yad (manuscript) from the son of the Toldos it is written:
The Besht was Niftar on the first day of Shavuos, 6th of Sivan, on a Wednesday.
Many other Seforim follow this Mesorah (tradition) and agree he was Niftar on the first day YomTov.
The Sefer Melietzei Aish and some other Seforim claim The Besht was Niftar the second day of Shavuos. (can't be on a Wednesday)
The previous Skolye Rebbe zt"l said There is a Mesorah that the Besht said:
“At my Yetzias Neshama all clocks in Meshbuz will stop.”
The Besht was Niftar the second night Shavuos at midnight and all the clocks in Meshbuz stopped exactly at 12.00
(I wonder how many clocks Meshbuz had in those days)
The Darkei Chaim V'sholom (Minchas Elozor) writes The Besht was Niftar on the first day Yom Tov and the Chasidim followed the Halacha יתעסקו בו עממין to have Goyim take care of the body and the Kevura.
The Sefer Shemuos V'Sipurim writes “R. L. Y. Schneerson zt"l asked from The Lubavitcher Rebbe The Marshab zt"l (R. Sholem Ber):
Who took care of the body of the Besht?” (YomTov)
The Marshab answered:
“The body of the Besht didn't require others to take care of it.”
A different version of his answer:
“The Besht buried himself. After his Petira, no grave diggers were needed.”
