3. "Represents the unity of the people," ???????
Talula ,   Israel   (10.08.13)
Are you kidding? He was a trouble-maker, he thought any non-Jew's purpose on the planet was to serve Jews - he was only concerned with the Sephardi Jews and made evil wicked comments about the Holocaust. He was no saint, but a mean-mouthed self appointed agent of God.
4. I stopped reading at "women were not allowed to approach"

5. We will never forgive him
Miriam ,   Jerusalem   (10.08.13)
As someone who lost family members in the hollocaust this vile man who insulted the memories of those who were murdered deserves no sympathy. He might of fooled all those who joined his cult but hard working decent people of this country see him for what he really is " a fraud and a crook "
6. Oh true of faith to duplicitous pikuach nefesh

Crazy uncle Simon/Shimon erske/Peres Vice President of the Socialist International was breathing the air of the Rav's last breath? Oslo brothers in bloody arms of their people. >1400 dead, > thousands with wounds worse than death (incuding >400 US citizens), thousands of those who come to kill you again in your midst that you train arm and feed. No wonder crazy uncle Simon pays homage to the enabler with their common faith in destruction of those they serve. BB Yallon Gantz take notice. You are on their track. mazal tov you bloody mosers
7. His insulting the memory of the dear Kedoshim

will out weight any supposed good he ever did in his life. I have written many times of the great anguish he caused my late parents with his tripe concerning the fallen of the Holocaust. I will never ever forget the pain this caused my late parents. My late parents only grandchildren who happen to be very frum live in Israel and are dedicated to the country. My youngest serves in the very front line tank battalions that are facing the enemy 24/7. His life is on the line every single day. Not a day goes by that I don't say a silent prayer for his safety. To have a supposed Rabbi bleat such tripe of my grandparents (all murdered in the crematorium of Auschwitz and Treblinka), is outrageous and vile. The supposed Rabbi is dead and so God will deal with him. I am done with him and his minions. They in totality don't amount to hill of beans. They count for nothing. May the good God spare us from these supposed Rabbis.
8. Kiddush HaShem
(10.08.13)
Rabbi Yosef said the ladies in his organization were all fit to be queens. Let's see religious leaders say this who understand the meaning of "holy".
9. TLRabbi Obadia Yossef ZTL (1 to 7)
Alice ,   Israel   (10.08.13)
May The Good G-d of Israel spare us from Jews or non Jews like you, you people , who are writting these talks back. One thing is sure, you have no derech eretz, no fear of G-d, and no respect for yourself and for Such a Giant as Rabbi Obadia Yoseph. A bunch of insensitive ignoramus that what you are.
10. Why are followers of Rabbi Yosef dressed like ashkenasim.
naro ,   nyc   (10.08.13)
Why don't they were their traditional Middle East dresses instead of the ridiculous ashkenazi outfits?
11. Nice to see people wearing black and white at a funeral
Rivkah   (10.08.13)
which to me is a sign of respect. Most funerals nowadays have people wearing t-shirts and jeans, having no respect in their attire for the solemn occasion, except for Chinese funerals in America I have attended where almost everyone who goes wears black and white or black alone. Black and gray are colors of mourning, symbolic of the color of ashes people anciently put on their heads in their great grief. It is also a symbol of the mourning for the loss of the Second Temple, looking forward to the Third Temple when the prayers and tears and griefs of those seeking that blessed construction of a House for HaShem occurs.
