Description

Part 1 of 2 on Rav Ovadia Yosef - Background on Ashkenazim and Sephardim in Israel in the early 20th century, and basic biography of Rav Ovadia. Geared toward a group including people without great background in Torah text study. (I did not mean to be as harsh on the Ashkenazi leadership as I was; this will be corrected in Part 2.)
