Why is "the Sharon family" so cozy with this guy?


He exorcises dybbuks. He's reputed to have been a "close associate" of Arieh Deri, and he's more recently known for quotes such as these:

On the Jerusalem Gay Pride parade:

This is not a disease or a deviation, but a straight-out abomination. Even animals don't behave this way... There is no place in the Holy City for such a phenomenon.

On Hurricane Katrina:

Divine retribution is meted out according to the principle of 'measure for measure,' just as the Jews were forced out of their homes as a result of U.S. pressure on Israel, so too are Americans being forced out of their homes.

If my father was a politician (let alone PM of Israel) in a coma after suffering a major stroke, this isn't someone I would allow within a mile of his bedside, "well known kabbalist," "leading Jewish mystic" or not. But that's just me.
