A couple of hours ago I met a lifelong friend, one of the few people under heaven who knows me from the day I was born to this day, like any of my three blood brothers who live in Argentina.
Rabbi Isaac (Yaki) Muhafra lives in Bnei Brak, the city most affected in all of Israel by the Coronavirus, which was closed for three whole weeks until the situation returned to normal. Today there were rumors in the city that the number of patients was again at grown and there is fear that it will close again next week so take advantage and arrange a meeting with "Yaki" who has just been cured of the virus.
In general, he does not like to be filmed and tries, like every practicing person (he calls them religious), to escape to social networks, the internet or modernization. Today I asked him again if he was willing to tell you a little about his life and his city, and who knows why, but this time he was encouraged.
This is another spontaneous video, this time through the streets of the most Orthodox city in Israel, one of the most inhabited and one of those with the most religious institutions or, as the Rabbi himself nicknamed it, "The City of the Torah".
Bnei Brak has existed since the time of the First Temple and was one of the cities conquered by Sanquerib in the 8th century BCE along with Yafo, Azur and Beit Dagan that still exist in Israel. It is not by chance that the main avenue we walk along today is called Rabi Akivah.
At the time of the Second Temple, this city was Jewish and here lived that personality listed in the Talmud as the "Wisest of All Jews". Both Rabbi Akiva and the city of Bnei Brak are named in the book that every Jew reads on Pesach night and I think that this sums up the importance of both in the history and present of the Jewish People.
