Brazil Dibuk Story Noting More Than Mental Illness

Jerusaem - Upon the request of VIN News Rav Sternbuch was shown the various press releases which asserted that he had placed a Brazilian dybbuk in Cherem to protect R Batzri. The report was also published by Israeli Hebrew news site Kikar.net

Rav Sternbuch categorically denied the story. and added this is not a case of a dybuk but of mental illness.

Rav Sternbach has also expressed dismay that thousands of people believed that this was a dybuk and were involved with R Batzri's ceremony. He urged Rav Daniel Eidensohn who runs the blog Daas Torah to publicize an article regarding his denial and emphasized the urgency to inform the public his total denial of involvement with the proclamation of Cherem, and that he viewed this is a case of mental illness.
