I really loved your lecture on Rav Ovadia. I am a Sefardi from Australia and I have been living in Israel B.H. for 18 years. Rav Ovadia has always been the Haham that I most relate to, and it was especially meaningful to me to hear your wonderful lecture about him. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, Rabbi Abramson. I was really hoping that you would put something together on this intellectual giant Rav Ovadia Yosef. I knew about him since the late 1990s due to many of his landmark rulings, especially regarding land for peace, the sheital or tichel and so forth. Thank you again for this amazing work.

Awesome lecture series, stumbled across it and so happy I did...learning so much.( I learned I am a 'matmid'! ) Several years back I discovered my Jewish ancestry - my relatives also kept it secret when they immigrated to Germanville, IL and it was revealed to my mother by my great dodah at the end of her life. *But it seems you are referring to Catholics as the 'general christians.' (they aren't, they can be, but as a rule are not) Christians are those and like those who Paul established -- (no Pope mentioned) loved your lecture on him--and would love to fill in the gaps---but he wasn't at all confused about his jewishness and or Judaism or the Law : p

Thank you so much for the lectures on rabbi ovadia and the rebbe, we learn here things we don’t find anywhere else on the internet. Would you be interested in doing a lecture on rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, I’m having difficulties finding an objective review of this great post-holocaust orthodox Jewish leader, rebuilder and contrarian in America, typically writers and biographers of his life are on one side of the Zionist-Israel debate

The Ben Ish Chai mentions the Bat Mitzvah and says it's very important. You're supposed to make a seuda for the immediate family or the female extended family and do something special for the girl on that day. As an Iraqi Jew, Rav Ovadia undoubtedly grew up with this. So this isn't a modern practice. What is modern is making a huge, public affair, including men. Since this wonderful series has now come to an end, I'd like to say how much I enjoyed it and am sorry to see it end...I think it would be nice to do a series on other Jewish communities, such as the Yemenites, Ethiopians, Cuchin, etc.

Technically, a 'sircha' is an adhesion on the lung (דבר הנסרך) not a puncture. The reason that a sircha renders an animal not kosher is that either it could be covering a puncture or that it is the result of a puncture.

I'm surprised he said that Greek Jews were often not directly sephardic from Spain but adopted sephardic culture. My family are survivors of Saloniki. The sultan actually sent hundreds of boats to Spain to pick up the Jews and bring them to the Empire. My family first went to Venice for a couple generations then to Saloniki. 1492-1944 it was the only majority Jewish city in history outside of Israel.

Some of the Greek Jews were Romaniote from the ancient period. The Sefardi arrived around 14 centuries later. Sadly, all of these communities in Greece were annihilated during WWII.

Torah Codes Revealed him Rav. Ovadia Yosef was The Messiah son of Yosef of Ephraim of Yosef son of Yitzchak. Every Jew was Sefardic before the Babylonian Exile & Roman Exile. This question was brought up in Rav. Ephraim Sprecher's class and confirmed by 3 other Rabbis in the Yeshiva of Yerushalayim Temple Mount. Rav./Rabbi Sprecher is Dean of The Yeshiva. Thank You Proffessor Abramson for sharing the many Miracles of HASHEM

Rav Ovadia apparently had a mean streak. He said some really negative things about Palestinians and even about Holocaust victims. I think you left out that side of him.
@Michajeru6 жыл бұрын
You clearly did not know the man and I really doubt that you would be able to understand his talks in Hebrew. There are always nasty negative people who look for every possibility to find fault with great people. You should first become fluent in advanced Hebrew, listen to his thousands of hours of lectures, study his writings in depth, and then you may be in a position to make a judgmental comment about him.

The maternal side of my family has been grappling with the concept of being both Jewish and Christian at the same time for two millenia. Most religious organizations of both faiths assert that one must be one or another, but not both. It is still not resolved. In the early church, only Jews could be Christian. Saint Paul, formely called Saul, opened the gates.

Judaism is also an ethnic religion as we are descendants. That's why we are born Jewish. Thus, we are also a people, not just a faith.
