Yosef was “the teacher of the entire Israeli people, of the whole diaspora, not just of one sector,” Tel Aviv Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau says during his address to the crowd. Yosef was a “rare combination,” Lau adds, of intelligence coupled with “a huge heart full of love for Israel, which pulsed like a flame burning within him.”
