Several days ago, police investigated suspicions that an east Jerusalem man, who was apparently in contact with a Moldovan women employed at Yosef’s house, was planning to attack the rabbi. The east Jerusalem man had a background in security-related offenses and other crimes, but no concrete evidence was found to justify his arrest.
Nevertheless, at the recommendation of security officials, Yosef’s family took several precautions, including changing their locks and firing the Moldovan employee.
Under normal circumstances something like this would have everyone come together in achdus but under the crazy circumstances you never know?!?!
come together in the sence of achdus in klal yisroel . Respect everyone even if that person disagrees with your hashkafos and vice versa
Great sentiment.
The Torah beat you to this by many thousands of years.
chacham ovadia is definitly a gadol hador if we only understood what it means and try to become one instead of trying to put everyone down or trying to get involed with everyone elses buisness maybe mashiach would be a bit closer
To #7 shame on you . Chacham ovadayah happens to be the bigest booky in seforim since matan torah.
Why is there a goy working in the Chief Rabbi’s house?? There are plenty of Jews who would gladly cook and clean for a Gadol Hador just to be around such a tzaddik.
rav avadiya shlita on purim once about ten yrs ago asked the ppl there to say any shiela from any sheilos utchuvos from any rav ever …..someone asked a sheila and the rav told him that sheila was asked 78 times……they looked it up on one of the computer programs and it came up with 80 results……the rav then corrected himself and said that he had asked this sheila twice in his own seforim so its 80 …he was on the mark …as a child the elder mekubalim of yerushalayim said they were jealos of this little zaddikle from egypt
