Yediot Achronot correspondent Akiva Novik recorded a conversation with Meir Baranes, who was informed the conversation was recorded and consented. He told Novik that in 45 days, on 19 Kislev, the Chag HaGeula for Chabadnikim, he or a messenger of his would murder Rav Ovadia Yosef Shlita. Baranes is currently incarcerated in a psychiatric institution pending evaluation.

It expresses the feelings of all chassidim who yearn to see the Rebbe’s holy face once again.
Yosef Peysin and Mordy Kurtz, both from Chicago, love what they do. The duo formed a band named ‘Rogers Park,’ an ode to their hometown, and have been traveling the world with a message ever since.
