The Vizhnitzer Rebbe

A Shiva Call In A Prison
Shmarya Rosenberg • Failedmessiah.com

Yeshiva World reports that the Vizhnitzer Rebbe visited Israel’s Massiyahu Prison Tuesday to pay a shiva call to a son of the late Shomrei Emunim Rebbe who is serving a prison sentence for an unnamed crime in the prison’s yeshiva program.

Besides the private shiva call, the Vizhnitzer Rebbe also spoke in the prison’s synagogue to an audience that included former President of Israel Moshe Katsav, who is serving a prison term for rape, and Jewish terrorist mass murderer Ami Popper, who reportedly has become a ba’al tshuva (penitent; newly Orthodox) in prison.

Update 8-30-2012 7:32 am CDT – It appears that the son of the Shomer Emunim Rebbe is in prison for child sexual abuse, rape, sodomy, obstruction of justice and incest. However, this decision is dated 1997, and he would have needed to be sentenced to at least 15 years for this to be the reason he's in prison now, and that's a very long sentence to be handed down in Israel. So we need to look into this further.

[jancsibacsi]

The circus must go on theese bozos including the rebbe think they can dupe the masses with their self rightous antics.

[Sarah]

Unnamed crime...... one can only guess what the
pervert was found to have done.

[blueberry muffins]

Is this filed under Hesed?

[seymour]

missing is these interesting titbit from the article

The rebbe wanted to make a shiva visit to a son of the Shomrei Emunim Rebbe ZT”L who is serving a prison term in the Torah Wing of the prison.

[tr]

Who is Ami Popper?

Ami Popper: He wore an IDF uniform 20 May 1990 and asked men waiting at a bus stop in of Rishon L’Tzion for their identity cards.

After confirming they were Arabs he lined them up and opened fire, killing seven. He was taken into custody shortly after the act. He also stated that he had been raped by an Arab when he was 13 and had committed these killings out of shame and a desire for revenge as well as in response to the attacks related to the so-called First Intifada.

"... in the Torah Wing of the prison..."

Truly a sign of today's frumma velt.

I fail to see the point and the problem here.

Jack, there is none.

That mitzvah is saved for you, sooner than later i hope.

What is with this "unnamed crime" routine? What is it shorthand for? In America on occasion 'an unmentionable crime' always meant sodomy.

[Nobody]

Ami Popper "hazar btshuvah" (got religious) long ago. He got married, had several kids. When he was out on furlough, his wife and most of his kids were killed in a traffic accident (he ws driving).
FYI

[nobody (the original)]

Hey, "nobody" stole my name.

Anyway, in response to his comment, I can't help but think shabak could have been involved. Or perhaps an arab terrorist group. One of those targeted "traffic accidents" that happen so often to prominent settler personalities.

[Nobody]

nobody - I was always Nobody (capital "n"), so everyone can recognise that we're different anonymous freaks.

I hate to break it to you, as shady as part of the shin bet is, and repulsive as arab terror(ists) are, it was Popper's fault (I recall pretty clearly he smashed into a van full of tourists and caused them a lot of damage, too). He was driving without a license, hadn't driven for years, was tired, and turned around to smack one of his kids who was having a tantrum.

Of course not, guys, specially if he visited the victims' family prior to his trip. You know, the murdered ones, the rape victim, the ones affected by the "unnamed crime". Or did he visit them after the trip?.

He did, didn't he, not just the perps?.

Because that would be kind of... noticeable if he didn't, chaps. =/

[Bob Guthrie]

...As noticeable as a Catholic Bishop visiting pedophile priests, or Saudi Arabian Imams paying a prison visit with al-Qaeda terrorists.

"Is not the same!"... High rank Religious figure visiting criminals of the same faith.

Deal.

[justsayin]
