A Moment Of Silence

Last night was a HUUUUUGE soccer game between Beitar Yerushalayim and Hapeol. Before the game they had a moment of silence in memory of Rav Ovadiah ztz"l.

How ironic. A "moment of silence" is a non-Jewish way of commemorating someone's passing. Rav Ovadiah wouldn't have approved.

He also wouldn't have approved of 30,000 people screaming like vilde chayes over the movement of a ball and men running after it in their underwear. He would have said "Spend the 3 hours learning and doing chesed or saying tehillim. Take the money you would have spent on the game and give it to tzdaka."

But they like Rav Ovadiah enough to be quiet for a moment but not enough to actually listen to him. Or to Him.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH do we need a geula.
