HaGaon HaRav Moshe Yosef Shlita, the head of the Badatz Beit Yosef and a son of HaGaon HaRav Ovadia Yosef Shlita visited with the Sanzer Rebbe Shlita ahead of the chasnah of a daughter.

Rav Moshe traveled to meet with the Sanzer together with his future son-in-law. The rav told the rebbe that his daughter was assigned a project in school, to write about a tzaddik of a previous generation. She consulted with her grandfather, HaGaon HaRav Ovadia, who stated, “If I had this assignment, I would write about Rav Chaim of Sanz ZT”L, and if you do, I will assist. The rav’s daughter, the kallah, acted on her grandfather’s advice and Rav Ovadia detailed the life of the tzaddik, and she wrote a five page report as a result.

Rabbi Moshe explained that now he feels he may ask for a bracha ahead of the chasnah for a good zivug.

The rebbe inquired as to Rav Ovadia’s dialing learning schedule, as well as the new Halacha sefer that is still in the works. The rebbe added “I always show my sons tshuvos written by your father as a young man of 20, which are long and comprehensive. It is clear that one does not become a Gadol Yisrael at age 60 or 70, but only one who toiled as he did at a young age”.

The chasnah took place last night, Wednesday, eve 6 Cheshvan, in Yerushalayim.
