The Baba Sali was was believed by his followers to work miracles and was one of the leaders of the aliya of Moroccan Jews to Israel.
The funeral was attended by Israel's chief Rabbis Yona Metzger and Shlomo Amar as well as by haredi MKs and ministers.
Rabbi Abuchatzeira was stabbed in a Beersheba yeshiva just after midnight on Friday.
Stunned followers told police Abuchatzeira was stabbed in the upper body by a man he had received as a visitor.

Rav Elazar Abuchatzeira , "Kabbalist" Stabbed To Death

Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira, the grandson of Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira (also known as the “Baba Sali”), was stabbed to death in Be’er Sheva late Thursday night.
According to reports, the rabbi, who was known as the “Baba Elazar,” was stabbed in a yeshiva in the city. He was critically wounded and was taken by Magen David Adom paramedics to Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva, where he died shortly after arrival.
The Baba Elazar was 70 years old.
Channel 10 News reported that the police have arrested a suspect in connection with the stabbing. Though investigations are still under way, police reportedly believe the motive for the murder is criminal.
Two years ago, a man was arrested on suspicion of planning to stab the rabbi. At the time, the rabbi refused to file a complaint with the police, but his associates filed a complaint in his name.
Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira’s grandfather, the Baba Sali, was a Jewish Moroccan rabbi who was revered to have mystic healing powers.
The Baba Sali lived a spartan life devoid of material interests, often fasting and praying throughout the day. He was also one of the main leaders of the immigration to Israel and helped bring nearly the entire Jewish community from Morocco to live in the Holy Land.
His home in Netivot was a site for pilgrimages of people seeking his blessing and advice during his lifetime and more than 100,000 people attended his funeral in 1984; since that time, his tomb has become a shrine for pilgrims and petitioners who come often to pray for assistance and intervention in their daily troubles. Many bring their three-year-old sons to his tomb for the traditional "chalaka", i.e. first hair-cutting.

According to Israeli media reports the man who stabbed the rabbi has been identified as Asher Dahan from Elad, and is under arrest.


From an eyewitness account, loose translation from hebrew

In recent months, a driver named Asher Dahan, a resident of Elad, would visit the home of Rabbi Elazar Abohtzira z"l. And so it happened tonight. He arrived around ten to Beersheba, and shortly after midnight went in to the rabbi. He was there for about four minutes and ran out.

When the Rabbis aides entered the rabbi's room , they were shocked and panic stricken. They knew Daha, his  face was familiar, and they immediately notified  police and was soon arrested.

Dahan has a criminal past and spent four years in prison.

 He worked as an educator in the Talmud Torah , and previously also served as Chairman of the welfare department for religious purposes in the Negev Histadrut.

He grew up in Dimona, and later lived in Pardes Katz, and during this period he became a Baal Tsuvah  he then moved to Elad.

Michelle Obama on Bin Laden Killing:" It’s not good, but it’s good"

Michelle talking to her kids about the raid on the Bin Laden Compound and the subsequent assassination, couldn't explain to her kids that killing a terrorist and murderer was a good thing! She was in a quandary on how to break the news to her little daughter. She explains that telling her children that the USA took out a terrorist that was responsible for thousands of deaths around the world, is "a convoluted set of concepts."
Here read the interview

How much did Jill Biden & Michelle Obama know about the attack before it happened?

JILL BIDEN: “I didn’t have a clue. Joe left early and was gone all day. Didn’t come home for a meal—nothing. So I knew something was happening, but I thought it was about Libya. [When I heard,] I was grading papers and watching TV.”

MICHELLE OBAMA: “I knew something was happening, but when it gets down to that level of secrecy, there’s just a small number of people who know anything.”

She adds, “I was actually out to dinner with girlfriends, and I didn’t know until I walked in the door. It was later in the evening, and Barack had his suit on, because he was going to the press conference. And I said, ‘What’s going on?’”

Her reaction? “I was like ‘Wow.’ Then I wanted to know the details: ‘How did it happen? Then what? And then what happened?’ I was probably like every media person.”

On explaining the mission to her children:

MICHELLE OBAMA: “I think kids instinctively feel that ambivalence—is this good or is this bad? And then you have to explain in a way that says it’s not good, but it’s good. The older kids, I think, get it. It’s a convoluted set of concepts. But I think they understand, when it’s placed in context.”

Lockerbie Murderer of 270 People on Pan Am Flight 103, Seen On TV Rally!

The man convicted of killing 270 people in the Lockerbie bombing has been seen on Libyan television.

Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was released from a Scottish prison almost two years ago on compassionate grounds, after serving nearly eight years of a 27-year sentence.

Four days before Christmas in 1988, the Pan Am Flight 103 travelling from London to New York was targeted in a bomb attack, causing it to crash in Lockerbie, in Dumfries and Galloway.

In footage seen by the BBC on Tuesday night, a television presenter introduced Megrahi at what appears to be a pro-government rally, and said his conviction was the result of a "conspiracy". He also said his release had been a victory against oppression.

It was reported that during the apparently live broadcast, Megrahi was in a wheelchair.

Scientists learn the hard way that you cannot turn a Monkey into a human!

Monkey business: Nim is taught sign language by volunteer Joyce Butler

An extraordinary experiment in which scientists raised a chimpanzee as their child... with chilling results

The woman volunteer thought Nim was coming to hug her, but instead the young chimp lunged, biting so deep into her cheek that his fangs pierced her mouth.

As she clutched her bleeding face, the little ape was beside himself, using the same piece of sign language again and again to attract her attention. ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry,’ he repeated.

This haunting recollection is one of many contained in a riveting new film, Project Nim, by the director of the Oscar-winning Man On Wire, about one of the most bizarre scientific experiments of recent times.

Singer Amy Weinhouse gets Jewish Funeral: Video

No Aliens!! Scientists now say we are alone in the universe.....

Scientists engaged in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) work under the assumption that there is, in fact, intelligent life out there to be found. A new analysis may crush their optimism.

To calculate the likelihood that they'll make radio contact with extraterrestrials, SETI scientists use what's known as the Drake Equation. Formulated in the 1960s by Frank Drake of the SETI Institute in California, it approximates the number of radio-transmitting civilizations in our galaxy at any one time by multiplying a string of factors: the number of stars, the fraction that have planets, the fraction of those that are habitable, the probability of life arising on such planets, its likelihood of becoming intelligent and so on. [10 Alien Encounters Debunked]

The values of almost all these factors are highly speculative. Nonetheless, Drake and others have plugged in their best guesses, and estimate that there are about 10,000 tech-savvy civilizations in the galaxy currently sending signals our way — a number that has led some scientists to predict that we'lldetect alien signals within two decades.


But in a new paper published on arXiv.org, astrophysicist David Spiegel at Princeton University and physicist Edwin Turner at the University of Tokyo argue that this thinking is dead wrong. Using a statistical method called Bayesian reasoning, they argue that the life here on Earth could be common, or it could be extremely rare — there's no reason to prefer one conclusion over the other. With their new analysis, Spiegel and Turner say they have erased the one Drake factor scientists felt confident about and replaced it with a question mark.

Nafissatou Diallo a Liar! "So many inconsistencies, it's incredible." DA will likely drop case against Dominique Strauss- Kahn!

Nafissatou Diallo

The DSK maid's bizarre media blitz has brought the case to the edge of ruin.

Furious DA sources yesterday told The Post that if there had been any doubt that hotel housekeeper Nafissatou Diallo would be destroyed on the stand with her already-wildly varying accounts of what happened between her and Dominique Strauss-Kahn, there is no more -- after she doled out even more conflicting statements during a round of interviews to ABC and Newsweek on Monday.

"There's so many inconsistencies now it's incredible," said one source, noting the slew of conflicting tales Diallo has allegedly told hospital staffers, cops, prosecutors, a grand jury and now the two media outlets. "It's like multiple choice -- pick a version."

For one, the DA sources said, the maid apparently suddenly and miraculously regained her memory of a conversation she said she had with Strauss-Kahn after he emerged naked from the bathroom in his Sofitel hotel suite -- after telling a hospital worker that he said nothing to her as he tried to rape her.

"I saw this little man come to me. He come naked," the 5-foot-10 woman told ABC News.

She told Newsweek that she exclaimed to him, "Oh, my God. I'm so sorry."

She claimed he responded, "You don't have to be sorry," as he reached for her breasts. "You're beautiful," she said he told her as he steered her toward the bathroom.

She said she told him to stop: "I don't want to lose my job."

He answered, "You're not going to lose your job," according to the account she delivered to her media interviewers.

But just hours after the attack, she told a hospital counselor that Strauss-Kahn -- then a French presidential hopeful -- did not speak, The New York Times reported on July 5.

Sources told The Post that there are "many" other discrepancies between her official accounts and the versions she's now telling the media -- all of which have essentially doomed her case.

"It's a mess," one flabbergasted source said.

Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. already had been weighing whether to drop the case against DSK, and now -- with the maid's new accounts handing DSK's lawyers powerful weapons to use in a cross-examination of her -- it's clear any prosecution of the former head of the International Monetary Fund would be a disaster, sources said.

RCA (Rabbinical Council of America) : Report Abuse to Police

Apparently they disagree with the Agudah ....
Here read the statement:
The Rabbinical Council of America has today reaffirmed its position that those with reasonable suspicion or first hand knowledge of abuse or endangerment have a religious obligation to report that abuse to the secular legal authorities without delay. One of the unique features of Jewish law is that it imposes upon every member of the community an obligation to help others avoid danger. The biblical verse “do not stand by while your neighbor’s blood is shed" is understood by Jewish Law to mandate that one must do all in one’s power to prevent harm to others - even if monetary harm, but certainly physical harm.

Consistent with that Torah obligation, if one becomes aware of an instance of child abuse or endangerment, one is obligated to refer the matter to the secular authorities immediately, as the prohibition of mesirah (i.e., referring an allegation against a fellow Jew to government authority) does not apply in such a case.

As always where the facts are uncertain one should use common sense and consultations with experts, both lay and rabbinic, to determine how and when to report such matters to the authorities. False accusations are harmful to those falsely accused – but unreported abuse or endangerment can be life-threatening, as we have recently been tragically reminded.

In addition and as a separate matter, those within the Jewish community whom secular law deem to be “mandated reporters,” must certainly obey the particular reporting requirements, which vary from state to state in the US. A person covered by mandatory reporter laws must comply with those laws, even in a case in which Jewish law might otherwise not require a person to report such child abuse or endangerment.

Kletzky Family Getting A New Home!

The New York Post is reporting that Neighbors who opened their hearts to slain Brooklyn boy Leiby Kletzky's family are now opening their wallets, trying to raise money to move the family from its ramshackle apartment to a new home free from the painful memories.

The goal is to raise $1 million, according to one community leader who is helping to spearhead the effort.

Nearly $60,000 was raised in one day last week.

"Everything in that apartment reminds them of Leiby," a friend said. "It's where he grew up."

A furniture company is donating furniture, and a bedding company is donating bedding, according o a neighborhood source.

The family would be relocated somewhere else in Borough Park.

Eight-year-old Leiby was abducted and murdered after he missed a turn while walking from day camp. Cops said that he asked a stranger, Levi Aron, for directions and that Aron instead took the boy to his Kensington apartment, where he killed him in a panic and cut up the body to hide the evidence.

Maid that was allegedly raped by Stauss Kahn, tell her side of the story!

The Maid Nafissatou Diallo

“Hello? Housekeeping.”

The maid hovered in the suite’s large living room, just inside the entrance. The 32-year-old Guinean, an employee of the Sofitel hotel, had been told by a room-service waiter that room 2806 was now free for cleaning, “Hello? Housekeeping,” the maid called out again. No reply. The door to the bedroom, to her left, was open, and she could see part of the bed. She glanced around the living room for luggage, saw none. “Hello? Housekeeping.” Then a naked man with white hair suddenly appeared, as if out of nowhere.

That’s how Nafissatou Diallo describes the start of the explosive incident on Saturday, May 14, that would forever change her life—and that of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund and, until that moment, the man tipped to be the next president of France. Now the woman known universally as the “DSK maid” has broken her public silence for the first time, talking for more than three hours with NEWSWEEK at the office of her attorneys, Thompson Wigdor, on New York City’s Fifth Avenue.

“Nafi” Diallo is not glamorous. Her light-brown skin is pitted with what look like faint acne scars, and her dark hair is hennaed, straightened, and worn flat to her head, but she has a womanly, statuesque figure. When her face is in repose, there is an opaque melancholy to it. Working at the Sofitel for the last three years, with its security and stability, was clearly the best job she’d ever hoped to have, after years braiding hair and working in a friend’s store in the Bronx as a newcomer from Guinea in 2003.

Diallo cannot read or write in any language; she has few “close friends,” she says, and some of the men she has spent time with, whom she does not call fiancés or boyfriends, but “just friends,” appear to have taken advantage of her. One, now in a federal detention center in Arizona awaiting deportation after a drug conviction, won her confidence—and, she says, access to her bank accounts—by giving her fake designer bags: “Six or seven of them,” she says. “They weren’t very good.” Her face goes almost blank. “He was my friend that I trust—that I used to trust,” she says

Occasionally as Diallo talked, she wept, and there were moments when the tears seemed forced. Almost all questions about her past in West Africa were met with vague responses. She was reluctant to talk about her father, an imam who ran a Quranic school out of the family home in rural Guinea. Her husband died of “an illness,” she said. So did a daughter who was 3 or 4 months old—she wasn’t sure. Diallo was raped by two soldiers who arrested her for a curfew violation at night in Conakry, the Guinean capital. When they had finished with her, they released her the next morning, she said, but made her clean up the scene of the assault. At first she said she couldn’t recall what year that happened, but later she said it was 2001. Diallo had managed to get her surviving daughter, now 15, out of Africa and to the United States “for a better life,” she said. But precisely how that happened was not a subject she or her lawyers would explore. Again, her eyes stared downward, welling with tears.

When Diallo reached the point of her alleged assault in the Sofitel, however, her account was vivid and compelling. As she told NEWSWEEK, she had used up a lot of time waiting for guests to check out of room 2820 before she cleaned it. Then she saw the room-service waiter taking the tray out of 2806, one of the hotel’s presidential suites. The waiter said it was empty. But still she decided to check.

What Happens to Your Online Accounts When You Die?

You’ve spent years cultivating an online persona and archive of your life: a Facebook account detailing your daily life and personal history; an e-mail account brimming with personal and business communications; a Flickr album and, perhaps, accounts at some sites you would rather your family didn't know about.

Because it’s all online, stored in digital bits that theoretically last forever, you can feel secure that it will all be there when you wake up in the morning.

But what happens to all this stuff the morning you don’t wake up––after your death?

Will you be able to leave your digital persona in the hands of heirs, like a shoebox full of old family photos? Will all your accounts simply evaporate over time? Can you hide those embarrassing photos, emails and accounts from family and friends you don’t want ever to see them, maintaining your privacy for eternity?

These are questions now being addressed by a growing industry of dedicated “digital estate” websites and planners, including some who came together in March at the industry’s first convention––dubbed Digital Death Day.

Meshugana Chassidim in Williamsburg Burn "Osem" Products, because it supports Israel!

You cannot make this stuff up, 
While Jews and Gentiles alike were busy burying the remains of Leiby Kletzky,
 Crazy fanatic Chassidim in Williamsburg, decided to protest "Osem" products. These snacks are  manufactured by an  Israeli snack company, that recently did the right thing by teaming up with the organization JNF to support the Sderot Indoor Rec Center. This atrocity happened on July 20, 2011 on Lee Avenue.

Earlier this year Osem announced that a portion of the proceeds of every bag sold from July 5 through August 30, 2011 will be donated to the Sderot Indoor Recreation Center.

While protesting on Lee Ave, they burned bags of Osem snacks.

Shomrim Saw Video with Leiby & Aron 8 Hours Before Rabbi German but couldn't identify him...

Rabbi German

Failed Messiah reports that Shomrim made a huge mistake; they actually had in their possession the critical video that identified the killer and Leiby, but Shomrim decided that the little boy was not Leiby! This was reported by Rabbi German on the Zev Brenner show last night!

Two key points:

1. Shomrim checked surveillance video at 2 am Monday night Tuesday morning along the route Leiby took, and said Leiby wasn't on the video – but Shomrim was wrong. Leiby Kletzky was on that exact video, and Yaakov German discovered that 8 hours or more later. This mistake could easily have resulted in Leiby Kletzky's death.

2. Levi Aron going in and out of the dentist's office was only noticed after German and his friend Yehuda Borenstein watched the video repeatedly in slow motion, rather than in regular playback speed.
