Hello everyone and welcome to the Emunah Live Questions and Answers Q&A with the great Sadiq Rabbi Avraham Shlita and without further ado, I'm going to pass the microphone on to the Rav, Rav Asher Shakow. Everyone say thank you, a great thank you to Hashem, blessed be his name, for the holy Torah, for all the mitzvahs, the commandments that we have, for all the shabbat says that we that we enjoy so much having every single week, for all the special festivals, for all the righteous people that we've had through generations, for the holy Rabbi Rabbi Nachman of Breslov and for all the tzadikim, all the righteous people throughout all the generations, thank you. On Friday, it was the passing day of our teacher, our master, our mentor, Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, the Rambam. It was also the holy passing day of Rabbi Yaakov Abuhatzeira, the head of the Abuhatzeira dynasty, who was known by his book the Abir Yaakov. Such gifts. I will tell you a story that truly made me cry. There was a righteous man whose name was Rabbi Ovadia. He was a person who diligently learned Torah. All his life, all his essence was only learning Torah and working Hashem. He had a dream that he should leave where he's living and go to the city of Cordoba in Spain and there a butcher's daughter, she is the one destined to be his wife and he's supposed to marry her. That's what he dreamt. He said to himself, dreams dreams only say false things. I mean, come on, someone like me, a talmud chacham, a Torah scholar, I'm supposed to marry a woman who herself is the daughter of another Torah scholar and if not a Torah scholar, at least a very rich and prominent person, but to marry the daughter of a simple butcher?
