Claimed To Be Babi Sali’s Grandson

Police arrested a man in his 50s who was traveling around Israel in an expensive BMW and presenting himself as a grandson of Rav Yisroel Abuchatzeira, the Baba Sali, to get generous donations.

“I obviously didn’t have so much money on me,” said a woman who gave him over $1,000. “So he took me to an ATM. I gave him the sum, because he started telling me all sorts of things about my children in a threatening way — if I didn’t give him, they would have no brocha. I was terrified. I simply didn’t know what to do.”
