Rabbi Gazahi an Ethiopian Who Joined Shas Quit ...After His Statement "Women Showing Their Upper Parts Get Reincarnated as a Cow!

Rabbi Baruch Gazahi, a rabbi who immigrated to Israel at the age of two from Ethiopia, was No. 11 on the Shas Knesset list and – by virtue of passage of the Expanded Norwegian Law enabling ministers and deputy ministers to resign from the Knesset to make room for those next in line on party lists – was on the verge of entering the Knesset.

But on Monday night, just prior to the passage of the Expanded Norwegian Law, a video emerged of him saying during a Torah lecture he delivered four years ago that dressing immodestly was the reason women miscarry and contract breast cancer.

“A woman who was used to revealing her upper parts usually is reincarnated as a cow, whose upper parts are exposed,” Gazahi said in the class. 

“That is why women have to be covered up there. This is one of the reasons women suffer from breast cancer, because everyone looks at them and it causes the evil eye. It is also one of the reasons why women, God forbid, have miscarriages. They post pictures of themselves on Facebook showing their exposed stomachs.”

He was also heard on another video making derogatory comments about Arabs.

These comments caused an uproar, and Shas leader Arye Deri tweeted in response that he spoke to Gazahi, who told him that a few sentences of a two-hour lecture delivered years ago were taken out of context.

“I made clear to him that these remarks are unacceptable and do not represent Shas,” Deri wrote.

On Tuesday, Gazahi quit the Shas list.

There is a "chashash" a suspicion, that Arye Deri leaked the tape to get him thrown out ..... I believe that is true...
