I just came home from Rav Ovadia's funeral in Jerusalem. According to the Jerusalem police, 800,000 attended the funeral. Here's what the procession looked like:
Rav Shalom Arush shlit'a has instructed all his students to rend their garment as is customary when one's parent dies. Rav Ovadia was truly our father. May his sacred memory intervene in our behalf, amen!
See Rabbi Lazer's biography of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef zatza'l at the Breslev Israel website.
