The above picture is from the past year, not the past month.
Maran said "יישן ולא יקום". Precisely what happened.

It's heartwarming to hear these things from someone on the opposite side of the Chareidi world.
It's good to know there is still some אחדות left in Klal Yisrael.

And then of course you have the prophecy of the בית של גויים attack, before anyone dreamed that Bennet will join the הונט Lapid to cut almost all funding for Yeshivos.

Not the opposite side at all.
Now it was very heartwarming to see the Litvishe Gedolim bury the hatchet in the past few years.

Not opposite as in opposing, just the far side.
Am I wrong? Are you a Sfardi Belzer chosid? :)

In Belz, Sefardim and Ashkenazim aren't considered 2 sides.
There was a mutual friendship between my Rebbe and Maran that was in part because my Rebbe loved Sefardim as much as Ashkenazim before it was popular. My Rebbe also learned with Harav Ovadia many decades ago in the Kaballah Yeshiva of Hagaon Hakadosh R' Mordechai Shar'abi zt"l (a yemenite).

Understood.
It's just that you're chassidish (usually not sfardi) and The Maran was the Gadol Hador (in the Sfardi realms).
We all felt a loss. But the deep connection between Belz and Chacham Ovadia was extraordinary.

Just amazing to watch this over.
Harav Ovadia just a few months ago dancing at the Belzer Chasunah.



I saw it b'shaas ma'ase, but still.

I'm not a Sephardi. I'm allowed to answer?

Quote
כשאנו שואלים את ר' נעים, מדוע שם משפחתו הוא עובדיה, אך שם משפחת אחיו, מרן הגר"ע שליט"א, הוא יוסף, הוא מספר לנו בחיוך: "לאחי הרב יש שני שמות פרטיים, עובדיה ויוסף. השם שלי הוא משה, אך במשך השנים קראה לי אמי שם נוסף, נעים, שהשתרש יותר מהשם הראשון.
"שם המשפחה המקורי שלנו נבלע לפני עשרות בשנים. אני חושב שהיה זה 'טוחן' או שם דומה, אבל לא השתמשנו בו בשנים האחרונות. אנחנו האחים קראנו לעצמנו בשם משפחה 'עובדיה', על שם אחינו הגדול, ראש המשפחה, והוא בחר לשם משפחתו את שמו השני, יוסף. אבל לכולנו יש שני שמות פרטיים."

It was the right thing to do, even if it's not politically correct.

IIRC a similar thing happened by the Levaya of the Mumbai Shluchim HY"D
I think it was with Ehud Barak.

Front page of WSJ.
Was nice to see it, though the article was political.
