""Father always said that there is nothing important than the acquittal of the rabbis," the rabbi, Rabbi Yosef, is wont to quote his father, the rabbi, zt"l. And indeed, last Shabbat, the rabbi, who was staying in Bnei Brak, managed to deliver no less than nine shiurim throughout the city on matters of Passover, Halacha and Aggadah.

The rabbi began the first lesson, between Shabbat and evening prayers, at the "Yabia Omer" seminary on Uziel Street. From there, he headed to his lodgings, located about a half-hour walk away.

At 10 o'clock, the rabbi went out again to give a lesson at the Beit El study hall on Menachem Street in the city. The rabbi performed the morning prayer at the Or HaChaim study hall, headed by the Harosh Edni, where he gave a short lesson at the end of the prayer. After the prayer, the large audience accompanied the Rishon LeZion to his lodging with singing and dancing.

On Shabbat afternoon, the rabbi went out to give a lesson again, this time at the Meshadim synagogue on Kalisz Street in the city. It was in this synagogue that his father, the Gra"a zt"l, gave lessons 30 years ago, when crowds thronged to hear the lesson.

The last lesson was at the Yeshua Yehuda Beit Midrash on Yoel Street in the city, where a large crowd was waiting for the rabbi. At the end of the lesson, the crowd went before the rabbi to receive a blessing.

When Shabbat ended, the rabbi hurried to separate, and traveled to Jerusalem to deliver the regular lesson in 'Yazidim'.
