Over the years, I began to realize that the light measure on my camera can measure this light. It’s really true what is said about the sun, "like a bridegroom coming out of the bridal canopy" – the same light.
I was also privileged to be in the hospital with Rabbi Eliyahu at the same time that Chacham Yeshua Ben Shushan was there, praying for the recovery of the Rav. I went to pray with him, and took advantage of the opportunity to photograph the prayers. It’s not every day that one merits being in such a holy place, and we should let others share the experience.
At the same time that we went to pray for the Rav’s recovery, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu from Tzfat, the Rav’s son, was also there, and he also joined in those special prayers. I showed him something very unusual on my camera’s light measure. Every time I aimed the camera in the direction of the Rav, a great light appeared. When I moved the camera away from the Rav, the light vanished, and so on and so forth.
Many people also witnessed this wonder at the time of the Rav’s funeral. A kind of crown of light hovered over the Rav’s bier, like a cloud of light which didn’t leave its place throughout all the eulogies - not until the bier had gone on its way to the cemetery.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
