Likud MK Moshe Feiglin hails Rabbi Ovadia Yosef as one of Israel’s “greatest and most important leaders of the last generations.”
“The revolution brought about by Rabbi Ovadia during his lifetime reached every city and neighborhood in Israel,” Feiglin says. “It extricated tens of thousands from the cycle of hardship and ignorance and ushered them into a world of tradition, mitzva observance, Torah study and prayer. It restored the dignity of hundreds of thousands who had felt disenfranchised, affording them a place of honor, relevance and contribution to society.”
