Unreferenced quotation

Hello. I am moving this unreferenced quotation to this talkpage, until a reference is found:

"Replacing Hacham Yedidia is impossible. The closest we can come to him is his very able son, Rav David Shofet, who has dedicated his life to Iranian Jewry like his father did," said Andy Abrishami, a Nessah board member and the elder Shofet's son-in-law. "It's hard to be a rabbi under any circumstances, especially when you're a rabbi for Iranian Jews, because their expectations are much higher, but he [David Shofet], with his humility and dedication, has captured the Iranian Jews' favor."

Another unreferenced quotation

I am moving this unreferenced quotation until a reference can be found:

"We had many rabbis, teachers and hachamim in Iran, but he was the most open minded and most beloved of them all," Yahid said. "He was even respected by the most fanatic Islamic clerics in Iran who did not have friendships with Jews—all because of his gentleness and humility," said Ebrahim Yahid, a close colleague of Shofet."

Third unreferenced quotation

Again, I am moving this here until we can find a reference...

"At his funeral, Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, Ovadiah Yosef, referred to Hakham Shofet as the "Prince of Torah.""
