0:00 His grandfather was my Rav. I received a lot of Torah from his grandfather. A Yemenite Mori, holy and awesome. He looked like a baby - at a hundred, he looked like a baby. The face of a baby. Grandfather gave the key of the synagogue only to Rav Shlomo. Right, am I correct? I remember. Only you take the key - that's it. Yes. Only he takes the key. Only he received the key. Also of the Heichal, the holy ark. Oh, there is no such thing. This is important for Torah. To give a child a key like that?
0:26 So that it does not get lost... It is all guarded, it... And he brought books from Yemen, still from Yemen - he brought holy books with him. On HaAtzmon Street, the synagogue of Mori Salam. The Rav would come and give shiurim - we know all the ins and outs... Baruch Hashem, Baruch Hashem - great merits. Mori Salam, who would read the Torah - this is his grandfather, this is something, An angel of Hashem, an angel of Hashem.
0:51 Now he is speaking - I see his face. He was handsome, with a beautiful face, holy, like that. This is holy, holy. I would come back from the yeshivah... Grandfather would continue - Midrashim, everything by heart. Now they told... he knew everything by heart. He had a memory... - Did the Rav learn with him? - Yes, We learned together, a lot. Targum. Targum.
1:19 Chumash, Rashi, Mishnayos, Gemara, Midrashim. - At what age was this? - 25 years back, age 12. He is my family, from even before the bar mitzvah. The Rav takes hold of us, and strengthens us, and lights us up, and if not for the power of the Rav - I say this explicitly - if not for the power of the Rav, who knows if anything would have come out of here?
1:54 It is all in the merit of the power of the grandfather. If not for the power of the Rav, who knows if anything would have come out of here? We came to the Rav, and the Rav took hold of us and strengthened us, and we were really broken, we received battles from the whole world. Everyone fights against us. The Rav took hold of me, the Rav took hold of me, the Rav took hold of me and said to me: You go to the end - now suddenly, such a weight, serious, such a weight.
2:19 He tells you: you are doing it. 'Where did you drop this on me from, now? I am alone!' - 'You are doing it, going forward, not giving in to anyone.' The Rav blessed, the Rav strengthened - the broad heart of the Rav. The broad heart of the Rav fills everyone, gives everyone strength, this is a soul unique in the generation, unique in the generation.
