I know that I've posted the first video before, but, upon hearing about the petira of Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu Zatzal, former Chief Rabbi of Israel, my mind flashed back to seeing the Rav distributing challah to the needy at the Chasdei Yosef soup kitchen. May the niftar be a meilitz yosher for all of us.
In the second video, Rabbi Eliyahu, Zatzal, gave his endorsement to Keren HaTzadik, an organization that assists needy families in Israel.
The Rav stated at the end of the video, "Tzion b'mishpat tipadeh, v'shaveha b'tzedaka - Zion will be redeemed through justice and those who return to her through "tzedaka" - righteousness.
The Rav further assures us that "in the merit of doing good deeds, and through charity, Hashem will do chesed to us and will send us the Redeemer speedily in our time, Amen.
UPDATE: INN is reporting that the Rabbi's funeral, "will depart from Heichal Yaakov, the rabbi's synagogue and Torah study hall in Kiryat Moshe, Jerusalem, at 10 PM. The police have already announced that streets in the area will be closed to cars, and that they will be out in large numbers."
