In this dream Rav Ovadia and Rav Shlomo Amar discover that they were bodyswapped, but it takes them awhile to notice. Finally one erev Shabbat, Shlomo Amar discovers that he is in fact in the life of Ovadia Yosef. And not only that but that Rav Ovadia has a woman's body!
Shocked and horrified, he excuses himself from the situation. As soon as Shabbat is over, he hurries over to the beaten-up public telephone on King George street and inserts a card. "Hello, Rav Ovadia? I mean, Rabbeinu Amar?"
They hastily arrange to meet somewhere where no one would look for them, where it's still possible to go unrecognised: that place is the rose garden of the Conservative Yeshiva. At midnight.
At this part of the dream Shlomo Amar breaks down into tears on seeing Rav Ovadia. "The struggles you had! The sacrifices you made just to become who you are! And I never knew!" he bemoans.
Rav Ovadia also finds himself strangely moved by this recounting of his own hardships from, as it seems, his own mouth. Obviously they must make out and make out they do.
From this tragedy they gain new resolution to free the religious world of oppression. The first item on their agenda is dealing with a few troublemakers, and they jump Yona Metzger in an alleyway, shouting "Koksinel Ashkenazi!" as they beat him, entirely innocent of any irony.
Rav Ovadia in the body of Shlomo Amar finds new confidence to make hysterically freeing rulings in his capacity as Av Beit Din. He also publishes mindblowing responsa on the issue of women judges/dayanot, which he always wanted to do but felt unable.
Meanwhile R Shlomo Amar as Rav Ovadia is liberated to say all sorts of shit he wanted to get off his chest, but couldn't have gotten away with politically. He puts R Elyashiv in cherem and threatens the same to many. "Amalek!" he adds, with regards to R Elyashiv.
They never change back bodies and live happily ever after.
