Today is the day of the death of our rabbi, Maor Hador, the prime minister of the Torah government. When he would come to yeshiva with our teacher Rabbi Mordechai, he would study with him with great persistence. I once asked him: "Your Honor will tell me what your Honor thinks about Chacham Mordechai?" He answered: "There is nothing like it in Kabbalah."
The secret of his success in educating his sons
Rabbi Elazar Abu Hachira once asked him: "Honored Rabbi, how did you get that all of your sons are eternally great, all of them sitting and studying the Torah?" The rabbi answered him: "I sit in a court and I have never seen the face of a woman. When women come to the court for hearings, I smell from afar if they are perfumed and ask them to come modestly."
his adherence to modesty
When they would ask him to demand in front of women, at first he would refuse. In the end he agreed on the condition that the rabbi would sit across from him. Then he said that this was also not suitable, and stated that women would sit with the help of women and he would demand in front of the men. As we have learned, Rabbi Oded Tsadaka did not agree to speak in front of women alone.
His perseverance in the Torah
The rabbi was immersed in Torah day and night. Once the rabbi was waiting for him to have dinner with her. He asked for five minutes to write a Torah renewal that was renewed for him on the way, and continued to study until five in the morning. When she pointed this out to him, he said: "You said five minutes, give it to me."
His dedication to the vindication of the many
He would travel everywhere to give Torah lessons. He would write down in his diary all the places of the sermons. Before his passing, he said that he wanted the book in which he recorded all the places where he acquitted the Rabbis to be buried with him.
His greatness comes from his youth
At the age of sixteen he already knew the entire Shas by heart. When they took him to the Hebron Yeshiva and showed him a guy who had completed the Shas, he said: "By the age of eighteen I hope to know the entire Shas by heart - Gemara, Rash" and additions."
His humility
Once they forgot to turn off the speaker and he was heard talking to himself: "Dirt and ashes, a maggot and a worm, worth nothing." This is what he would say to himself with great humility.
His dedication to study
When he was abroad and had to study at night, he entered the closet so that the light would not disturb the rabbi's sleep. Put the lamp inside the closet and study there. They looked for him and found him studying inside the closet.
His concern for every Jew
He would get on a garbage truck to get to a child's house and take him to Talmud Torah. He did not think of his honor as the first to Zion, the main thing is to save a Jewish soul.
Love of the Torah
When he had to undergo surgery on his leg, he refused anesthesia. He told the doctor just to let him know before starting, and was so engrossed in his studies that he felt no pain at all.
ending
His great privilege stood for the entire audience. He earned the entire nation of Israel what many did not get to do. He put up books that have no equal in the world, he was knowledgeable about everything and anything.
