ISAIAH 14:12-14
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,(SATAN) son of the morning!(HEBREW-CRECENT MOON-ISLAM) how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.(AND 1/3RD OF THE ANGELS OF HEAVEN FELL WITH SATAN AND BECAME DEMONS)
JEREMIAH 14:14
14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
ACTS 20:29
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

In the 26th year of its international
interreligious conferences to which leaders of the world’s major
religions are invited as active, vocal participants, the Community of
St. Egidio this year managed to gather together in Rome nearly 200
panelists from all areas of the globe. Attended by approximately 5000
people, the three day meeting entitled “The Courage to Hope”, with its
33 panels and its impressive final Peace ceremony on Rome’s Capitol Hill
(Campidoglio), saw the largest Jewish participation to date.
Begun in 1987 with a first meeting in Rome aimed at furthering the ground-breaking tradition begun by John Paul II in 1986 when he called the world’s religious leaders to come to Assisi to pray for peace, the St. Egidio Community annually synergizes the spiritual energies of these leaders in encounters held in different international cities, with a multitude of panel discussions on the most important issues of the day. Religious leaders from the world’s trouble spots thus have opportunities to share eyewitness reports and in-depth analyses.At the opening ceremony, Rabbi David Rosen, International Director of Interreligious Affairs for AJC (the American Jewish Committee) invited St. Egidio to reconvene a multi-faith conference in Jerusalem to follow up on the one held there a decade ago.“Now, more than ever before St. Egidio can serve as an inspiration for politicians” said Rabbi Rosen, “as it sets an example by affirming the Divine Image in people from diverse religions and cultures.”
“In the Middle East in particular”, he holds, “religion must be part of the solution”.In all panels, the international religious representatives took stands against their own extremist factions and condemned the misuse of God’s Name to justify killing and war. It was in this interreligious consensus that many saw a glimmer of hope for the future.The Syrian conflict cast a dark shadow over discussions. A panel on the Middle East Crisis with political, media, diplomatic and religious experts from Italy and the Islamic and Christian Arab world, included Domenico Quirico, “La Stampa’s” correspondent taken captive in Syria and only recently released.Quirico and the other panelists agreed that the international community had waited too long to intervene to help the fledgling forces of democracy of the Arab spring, thus allowing Islamist extremist formations such as Al Qaeda to grow and gain strength. The desperate humanitarian situation in Syria and other Arab countries was described. Mohammad Sammak, a leader of the Christian-Arab dialogue in Lebanon stressed the impellent need to invest in education, pointing out that one third of the Arab world is illiterate, and more money was spent on beauty products than books. Italian Ambassador Roberto Toscano referred to the “Arab Human Development Reports” to support these conclusions with statistics. Among the nearly 200 international panelists, over a dozen were Jewish leaders and rabbis from Italy, Israel, the U.S., Argentina, Germany and Belgium. They too called for religions to summon their highest spiritual resources to counter the wave of barbaric, evil acts sweeping all over the world today, many of which are committed in the name of religion.The Jewish representatives spoke on many topics. They included “The Value of Life and Vulnerability” (Oded Wiener, Director General of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel), “Religions respond to violence against Women” and “The Suffering of Peoples and Paths to Peace” (Rabbi David Rosen), “Old Age as a Blessing” (Riccardo Di Segni, Chief Rabbi of Rome), “Latin America and Pope Francis (Rabbi Abraham Skorka, Buenos Aires, Argentina),” God Loves the Poor”, (Rabbi Israel Singer, Touro University, USA), “Poverty and the Environment: Eco-Sustainability”(Rabbi Shmuel Goldin, President of the Rabbinical Council of America), “The Power of Prayer throughout History”(Rabbi Avichai Apel, Dortmund Germany), “Hope Today” (Lisa Palmieri-Billig, AJC Liaison to the Holy See, Italy), “The Imperative Need of Family” (Riccardo Pacifici, President of the Rome Jewish Community), “God is Mercy” (Rabbi Elia Richetti, President of the Assembly of Rabbis of Italy), “Terror in the name of Religion” (Rabbi Joseph Levi, Chief Rabbi of Florence), “Is Violence Inevitable?” (Jakob Finci, President of the Jewish Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina), “The Courage to Hope” (Sandro di Castro, President of B’nai B’rith, Italy) and finally, Rabbi David Brodman of Savyon, Israel, a Holocaust survivor whose heartfelt talk at the Aula Magna of the Lateran University as a “Witness to Peace” to 3000 high school (liceo) students in two separate sessions, moved his young audience deeply.Rabbi Brodman, a white-bearded gentleman with a cane, accompanied everywhere by his 14 year old grand-daughter, Tamar, spoke of his early years as a deportee in the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp. His memories reflected the sensibility and suffering of the small child he was then. Recently, he accompanied over 500 university student members of the Communities of Sant’Egidio in Eastern Europe to Auschwitz on a pilgrimage of “Young People against Racism and Anti-Semitism.”
“It is always painful to recall those events” Rabbi Brodman said, “but my friendship with the Community of Sant’Egidio persuaded me to take this step”. His simple message of peace is contained in the sentence, “We must create a world without violence.”“So many young people came up to me after my conversation with them at the Lateran University” he said, “They told me ‘You have changed my life. Thank you!’ Some asked what they could do to accelerate the coming of the Messiah. I told them they must work on changing this world, beginning with their families. Peace begins at home.” Similar statements on peace, forgiveness, and the importance of memory were delivered by another Holocaust survivor, Rita Prigmore, a member of the Sinti Community in Germany. She recalled the Shoah of the gypsies at the hands of Nazi Germany. “I always say to young people ‘You are not responsible for what happened, but you bear the responsibility of preventing that all this happen again.’ And quite simply, I tell them my story.”Her story, in brief, is that as a newborn child she and her twin sister were torn from their mother at birth by the Gestapo. Both were subjected to horrible medical experiments by Dr. Heyde, a disciple of Dr. Mengele. Her sister died as a result, and Rita still suffers their consequences. “I am shaken to the bottom of my heart at the growth of radical Right groups in many European countries” she says, “and when I see gypsies insulted with the same words as in the past, or when they are told that ‘the Third Reich forgot to gas you.’ ”“But I want to say to you that nothing can be built through hatred except for more hatred… I am convinced that only forgiveness can build a future, and hatred must be relegated to the past. The future can be built only through reciprocal understanding. And reciprocal understanding is an active process: one must show interest in the other, speak to him, meet him and force oneself to understand him.”Oded Wiener, Director-General of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel attended this annual St. Egidio meeting for the tenth consecutive year. In the course of these annual encounters, he has established contacts with many Muslim and Christian representatives from Arab countries. “When you meet one another, face to face, things change”, he said. “The other is no longer an unknown stranger. This is the beginning of reciprocal understanding.”Rabbi Rosen remarked on the coincidence that the audience of the religious leaders with Pope Francis “who has generated openness and engagement with the other religions of the world”, took place on September 30 – on the same day as the announcement of the forthcoming canonization on April 27 of John Paul II and John XXIII, “two great heroes of Jewish-Christian reconciliation.”

14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
Amid the constant bashing of Israel on the internet and other media platforms, Jewish musician and rapper Ari Lesser has produced a video to highlight the "double standard" which singles-out the Jewish State.
The chorus says it all: "Boycott Israel, if you think that's just, but unless you have a double standard you must, also boycott the rest of the nations with allegations of human rights violations."The American-born and now Tzfat based MC admitted that the 65-year-old country is sometimes "not perfect," and yet the State of Israel is, by comparison, better than the nations which kidnap, torture, oppress, and murder its civilians.

The desperate humanitarian situation in Syria and other Arab countries was described. Mohammad Sammak, a leader of the Christian-Arab dialogue in Lebanon stressed the impellent need to invest in education, pointing out that one third of the Arab world is illiterate, and more money was spent on beauty products than books. Italian Ambassador Roberto Toscano referred to the “Arab Human Development Reports” to support these conclusions with statistics. Among the nearly 200 international panelists, over a dozen were Jewish leaders and rabbis from Italy, Israel, the U.S., Argentina, Germany and Belgium. They too called for religions to summon their highest spiritual resources to counter the wave of barbaric, evil acts sweeping all over the world today, many of which are committed in the name of religion.The Jewish representatives spoke on many topics. They included “The Value of Life and Vulnerability” (Oded Wiener, Director General of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel), “Religions respond to violence against Women” and “The Suffering of Peoples and Paths to Peace” (Rabbi David Rosen), “Old Age as a Blessing” (Riccardo Di Segni, Chief Rabbi of Rome), “Latin America and Pope Francis (Rabbi Abraham Skorka, Buenos Aires, Argentina),” God Loves the Poor”, (Rabbi Israel Singer, Touro University, USA), “Poverty and the Environment: Eco-Sustainability”(Rabbi Shmuel Goldin, President of the Rabbinical Council of America), “The Power of Prayer throughout History”(Rabbi Avichai Apel, Dortmund Germany), “Hope Today” (Lisa Palmieri-Billig, AJC Liaison to the Holy See, Italy), “The Imperative Need of Family” (Riccardo Pacifici, President of the Rome Jewish Community), “God is Mercy” (Rabbi Elia Richetti, President of the Assembly of Rabbis of Italy), “Terror in the name of Religion” (Rabbi Joseph Levi, Chief Rabbi of Florence), “Is Violence Inevitable?” (Jakob Finci, President of the Jewish Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina), “The Courage to Hope” (Sandro di Castro, President of B’nai B’rith, Italy) and finally, Rabbi David Brodman of Savyon, Israel, a Holocaust survivor whose heartfelt talk at the Aula Magna of the Lateran University as a “Witness to Peace” to 3000 high school (liceo) students in two separate sessions, moved his young audience deeply.Rabbi Brodman, a white-bearded gentleman with a cane, accompanied everywhere by his 14 year old grand-daughter, Tamar, spoke of his early years as a deportee in the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp. His memories reflected the sensibility and suffering of the small child he was then. Recently, he accompanied over 500 university student members of the Communities of Sant’Egidio in Eastern Europe to Auschwitz on a pilgrimage of “Young People against Racism and Anti-Semitism.”
“It is always painful to recall those events” Rabbi Brodman said, “but my friendship with the Community of Sant’Egidio persuaded me to take this step”. His simple message of peace is contained in the sentence, “We must create a world without violence.”“So many young people came up to me after my conversation with them at the Lateran University” he said, “They told me ‘You have changed my life. Thank you!’ Some asked what they could do to accelerate the coming of the Messiah. I told them they must work on changing this world, beginning with their families. Peace begins at home.” Similar statements on peace, forgiveness, and the importance of memory were delivered by another Holocaust survivor, Rita Prigmore, a member of the Sinti Community in Germany. She recalled the Shoah of the gypsies at the hands of Nazi Germany. “I always say to young people ‘You are not responsible for what happened, but you bear the responsibility of preventing that all this happen again.’ And quite simply, I tell them my story.”Her story, in brief, is that as a newborn child she and her twin sister were torn from their mother at birth by the Gestapo. Both were subjected to horrible medical experiments by Dr. Heyde, a disciple of Dr. Mengele. Her sister died as a result, and Rita still suffers their consequences. “I am shaken to the bottom of my heart at the growth of radical Right groups in many European countries” she says, “and when I see gypsies insulted with the same words as in the past, or when they are told that ‘the Third Reich forgot to gas you.’ ”“But I want to say to you that nothing can be built through hatred except for more hatred… I am convinced that only forgiveness can build a future, and hatred must be relegated to the past. The future can be built only through reciprocal understanding. And reciprocal understanding is an active process: one must show interest in the other, speak to him, meet him and force oneself to understand him.”Oded Wiener, Director-General of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel attended this annual St. Egidio meeting for the tenth consecutive year. In the course of these annual encounters, he has established contacts with many Muslim and Christian representatives from Arab countries. “When you meet one another, face to face, things change”, he said. “The other is no longer an unknown stranger. This is the beginning of reciprocal understanding.”Rabbi Rosen remarked on the coincidence that the audience of the religious leaders with Pope Francis “who has generated openness and engagement with the other religions of the world”, took place on September 30 – on the same day as the announcement of the forthcoming canonization on April 27 of John Paul II and John XXIII, “two great heroes of Jewish-Christian reconciliation.”

Israeli, Palestinian teams plan to intensify talks
Ramallah: MKs visit Abbas, who says nine months is enough time for a final status agreement
October 8, 2013, 12:38 am
0-The Times of Israel
Israeli and Palestinian officials held another round of negotiations in Jerusalem Monday, where they agreed to honor an American request to increase the pace of talks.“The
intensity of the conversations went up,” a senior Palestinian official
told Reuters, “and the sides agreed to extend the meetings to eight
hours a day, and to increase their frequency. Within two months, they
will need to see in Washington how the unavoidable gaps between the
sides have been minimized.”“Up till now,” he said, ”we haven’t achieved anything.”
US Secretary of State John Kerry announced on
the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in late September
that Israelis and Palestinians had agreed to intensify peace talks aimed
at reaching a final status agreement.The secretary said that negotiators had
engaged in seven rounds of bilateral talks in recent months, with a
number of those meetings including US Special Envoy Martin Indyk.Also Monday,
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas sounded an optimistic note
in a Ramallah meeting with 12 MKs –11 from Labor and one from Hatnua —
regarding peace talks.“The period of nine months [set aside for the
current talks] is enough to reach an agreement,” Abbas said, “All the
issues were discussed in the past, whether at Camp David, Taba, or with
[former PM Ehud] Olmert.He emphasized that security cooperation with
Israel was at an all-time high. “You all know, and the world knows, that
cooperation on all issues, on a day-to-day basis, is at 100%. The
reason is simple: we want a completely normal atmosphere between
Israelis and Palestine.”The MKs were in Ramallah on a visit of the Knesset Caucus to Resolve the Arab-Israeli Conflict headed by MK Hilik Bar (Labor).The caucus’s previous meeting, which took
place in the Knesset in late July, was joined by PA representatives and
marked the first time the Palestinian flag was raised in Israel’s
parliament. No Israeli flag was in evidence, however, during Monday’s
Ramallah meeting.
The MKs were
met in Ramallah by a group of senior Palestinian officials, including
Abbas’s adviser Yasser Abed Rabo and presidential spokesman Nabil Abu
Rudeineh.On Sunday, speaking at the 20th anniversary ceremony of Bar-Ilan University’s Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu placed blame
for the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Ramallah’s refusal to
come to terms with Israel as a Jewish state.“The Palestinians must
abandon their refusal to recognize the right of the Jewish people to
have their national state,” he said.Netanyahu dismissed claims that
Israel’s
presence in the West Bank stood at the heart of the conflict, stating
instead that as long as the Palestinians don’t internalize the Jewish
state’s right to exist, there will not be peace.“In order for the
process in which we find
ourselves to be significant… in order for it to have a real chance of
success,” he said, referring to the current rounds of negotiations begun
this summer, “it’s necessary to hear the Palestinian leadership finally
say that it recognizes the right of the Jewish people to a state of its
own, which is the state of Israel.”“I hope that it shall be so, so that
we can advance a real solution to the conflict,” continued
Netanyahu.Also Sunday, Maariv reported that Israel and
the Palestinian Authority have reached an impasse due to an Israeli
refusal to discuss land-swap and border issues.According to an unnamed,
senior foreign
diplomat with knowledge of the discussions, during the latest round of
talks the Israeli team of Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Netanyahu
adviser Yitzhak Molcho made it clear to the Palestinians that Israel
intends to retain some of the settlement blocs as part of a final
agreement, but refused to name which areas or discuss possible
compensation to the Palestinians for the territory to be annexed.Havig Rettig Gur and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Women of the Wall accept egalitarian prayer plaza
But group will not move its monthly public prayers to the new location until other demands are met
October 7, 2013, 6:40 pm
3-The Times of Israel
The Women of the Wall agreed in
principle to transfer its monthly prayer services to a newly built
egalitarian plaza and withdraw its demand to hold services in the
women’s section of the Western Wall.However,
the group, which made the decision during a board meeting Sunday night,
stated that it would only do so once all of its demands were met, among
them for funding equal to the traditional prayer sites and the creation
of a continuous plaza at the Wall to connect them all.In a statement on the group’s website, Women
of the Wall chair Anat Hoffman stated that the decision was not an easy
one, but that as “agents of change, we see before us the duty to
consider this new strategy.”“We have to rise above dispute in order to
build the future that we wish for the future generations of our
daughters and granddaughters,” she said.The statement concluded by noting that change
and acceptance were required not only of the group, but also of Rabbi
Shmuel Rabinovitch, the Western Wall’s rabbi. It said that Rabinovitch
would have to ease his grip on the holy site and make it a place where
members of all the streams of Judaism can pray freely.The group’s demands are already known to
Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky, who outlined a proposal in April
to build an egalitarian prayer plaza in order to end the ongoing feud
between the pluralistic prayer group and Orthodox groups.The Women of the Wall were pressured by the
Conservative movement to be open to Sharansky’s proposal following the
construction of the egalitarian plaza
in August. When the plaza was initially built, Hoffman dismissed it as a
“sunbathing deck,” and said that the organization would not accept a
“second-rate Wall for second-rate Jews.”The group is due to submit a position paper in the upcoming days to a committee appointed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resolve the ongoing dispute.

New Song: 'Boycott Israel, If You Think That's Just'
Jewish
rapper Ari Lesser makes "Boycott Israel" music video viral about the
wrongs of other nations violating human rights.-By Kochava
Rozenbaum-First Publish: 10/8/2013, 1:42 AM-Israelnationalnews
Amid the constant bashing of Israel on the internet and other media platforms, Jewish musician and rapper Ari Lesser has produced a video to highlight the "double standard" which singles-out the Jewish State.
The chorus says it all: "Boycott Israel, if you think that's just, but unless you have a double standard you must, also boycott the rest of the nations with allegations of human rights violations."The American-born and now Tzfat based MC admitted that the 65-year-old country is sometimes "not perfect," and yet the State of Israel is, by comparison, better than the nations which kidnap, torture, oppress, and murder its civilians.
Lesser's message about
honest, pro-Israel reporting has sparked the support of many from
across the globe. One response came from a Youtube user called MCJustiz
who wrote: "As a
born Muslim I am with you 100%. When people try and tell me to boycott
Israel I normally have long Facebook rants about some of the countries
you mentioned, now I can just post a link to this great song."
Discordant Shas faces possible schism after Yosef’s death
The peerless spiritual leader held together a fractured party; the feuding politicians he left behind may be unable to to do the same
October 7, 2013, 11:54 pm
0-The Times of Israel
It
is hard to exaggerate the influence on Israeli religion, politics and
public life of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who died Monday at the age of 93. For millions of Israelis – some 800,000 of whom attended his funeral in Jerusalem Monday night – Yosef was the embodiment of religious piety, learning and Sephardi pride.His
religious rulings, famously composed of long compendia of past rabbinic
opinions, showcased his vast, encyclopedic knowledge of Jewish law. His
was a genius matched by few living Jews.And he used that genius to correct a historic
wrong: the shunting aside of Sephardi Jewish immigrants in the early
years of the Jewish state. Born into an Iraqi Jewish family, Yosef took
great pains throughout his career to appeal to Sephardic Jewish
communities that were starkly different from his, successfully uniting
religious Yemenites, Moroccans, Algerians, Egyptians and others both in
religious doctrine and, from the 1980s onward, under the banner of the
Shas party.Political founder, ethnic unifier,
unparalleled legal genius, religious mentor to a generation of
successful Sephardic politicians, Maran — or “master” as his followers
called him — was the political and spiritual heart of the Shas movement.In that sense, his passing marks the fading of
an age. No single Israeli was more central to the reclaimed pride of
Sephardic Jewry in a state founded by a narrow Ashkenazi elite. And,
perhaps, no single Israeli generated more political opposition than the
politician-rabbi whose electoral power was founded on ethnic division
and resentment.His passing also marks a political crisis for
the movement he founded. Shas’s leadership, both the political and the
religious, is divided into two opposing factions: supporters of former
party chief MK Eli Yishai and those of the current leader MK Aryeh Deri.
The divide is also rabbinic: Yishai supports former chief rabbi Shlomo
Amar to replace Yosef as Shas’s spiritual and political supreme leader,
whereas Deri seeks an heir either in Yosef’s son, the current Sephardi
Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, or in Rabbi Shalom Cohen, head of the Porat
Yosef Yeshiva and a member of Shas’s four-member Council of Torah Sages.With the old
master who kept them united in shared allegiance to him now gone, the
party faces the very real danger of splitting along that factional
divide.The two camps – Yishai-Amar and Deri-Yosef – have a
history of bad blood between them.Deri was the political genius behind
Shas’s
rapid rise to power in the 1980s. He was Israel’s interior minister at
the tender age of 29, a role in which he garnered praise from unexpected
quarters, including legendary Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kolek, a Labor
Party man who nevertheless called Shas’s first interior minister the
most effective Israel had ever had.Deri’s ascent was followed by an
abrupt fall
when he was convicted of bribery in 2000 and sentenced to three years in
prison. He announced his return to politics in mid-2011 and managed to
obtain Ovadia Yosef’s blessing to lead Shas once again in October 2012,
unceremoniously ousting Yishai as party leader ahead of the January 2013
national elections.Deri’s return from the political desert was
swift and comprehensive. Last year, he worked hard to stymie the efforts
of then-chief rabbi Shlomo Amar to be reelected to a second 10-year
term. Amar was too closely identified with Yishai, he felt. Deri
preferred Ovadia Yosef’s son, Yitzhak, who was eventually elected chief
rabbi in July 2013.Deri’s closest confidante, MK Ariel Atias, was
placed third on the party list, ensuring his appointment as Knesset
faction chair in charge of the party’s legislative agenda.It was a rapid
takeover, made possible by the all-important support of Rabbi Ovadia
Yosef.Now, all eyes are on Shas’s top leaders to see if the party’s new
leadership can survive the old master’s death.The challenge to Deri’s
power could come
quickly. Deri is unlikely to be unseated as party chairman by Shas’s
Council of Torah Sages so soon after Ovadia Yosef himself approved his
appointment. But Yishai, Deri’s political nemesis, may not need to oust
him in order to get out from under his yoke.By law, a group of MKs can
split from their
current party and still receive public campaign financing if they take
with them at least one-third of the MKs of the party they are leaving.
Eli Yishai enjoys the support of several Shas MKs, including Avraham
Michaeli and Yaakov Margi. MKs David Azulai and Meshulam Nahari are
thought to be wavering between the camps. The loyalty of several others
is either unknown or in flux. In fact, of eleven Shas MKs in the current
Knesset, Deri can count with absolute surety only on himself and Atias.
And since Yishai, bristling under the thumb of his hated adversary,
only needs three additional MKs to establish his own financially viable
party overnight, the temptation to walk away from Shas may be hard to
resist.Hundreds of thousands of Israelis lost a
spiritual guide on Monday. The party he founded lost something more. The
party’s very raison d’etre was in its service to Maran. Shas’s leaders
will now find themselves faced with two uneasy choices: to unite in
fashioning a post-Ovadia party out of the political shell he left
behind, or to splinter away into more comfortable fragments destined for
political oblivion.
