Does anyone know of a tribute video for maran that can be down to high school girls who have no clue who he is and might give them a little taste
I think there is a four minute video of a day in the life of Chacham Ovadia that could be good for them.
This one's in Hebrew.

I just viewed that one. I wouldn't show it because it's more reporting and less story-like.

Extreme poverty for his first 30 years, and very bad hearing and much more in his later years (see the video with Rav Scheinberg).

For a little more personal insight, watch the hespedim here, at 93:45 is Rabbi David Shelby who was basically a ben bayit for many years.

I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

No words. Crying.
We will never be the same.

Four years have passed. We are not the same. The pain is still fresh.

BH I was zoche to meet him many, many times.
My last time, I went with my wife a little more than 9 months ago, requesting a brocho to have a child.

Due date is this week

Very nice, b'sha'ah tovah :)
So if its a boy do you have a name yet ;)

Just reread this thread and I guess it's never too late to update- we had a boy during the shiva and gave him a middle name Ovadia.

Should give us all a lot of nachas.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
