cremains: (kafka's grave)
[personal profile] cremains
Sorry for the post frequency but this is a special occasion in that I got a letter from Rav Ovadia today. I wrote asking him what is the meaning of a sugia I read in which geirim are compared to pedophiles... unfavourably.

He wrote at the bottom of my letter:

It's a mitsvah from the Torah to love the ger tsedeq who is busy in Torah and upholds the commandments of the Torah. You're fortunate and it's good with you. Haza"l weren't talking about you. Be strong, be brave! You'll be blessed from the mouth of the highest one,

With great love,
Ovadia Yosef
29 of Tevet 5772


The letter is written on my letter at the bottom, and is clearly in his rather distinctive handwriting. He wrote to me in the second-person singular masculine, probably due to my mention of yeshivah and gender-neutral but male-skewing name.
