The moment Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin was shot.....

Tonight, the 12th of Mar Cheshvan,  marks exactly 18 years since the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin on November 4, 1995.

The video below displays the dramatic moments in which the news of Rabin's murder spread, by first being reported to Rav Ovadia Yosef while he delivered his weekly Motzei Shabbos Shiur at the Yazdim Beit Knesset in Jerusalem. Rav Ovadia receives the news in amazement and spontaneously reacts with deep sorrow.

"We heard a very difficult thing, due to our many sins" he interrupts the Shiur and announces in shock. "The prime Minster was assassinated and shot three times." The crowd gasps and reacts in bewilderment. "They say that he is injured" continues Rav Ovadia, "therefor we will now make a Mi Sheberach for him." After concluding the Mi Shebeirach he added" "in our many sins there is baseless hatred... The Torah unifies all Jews."
