A Be'er Sheva youth has been arrested on suspicion he planned to stab Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira. It was announced on Thursday that last Shabbat, the youth tried to enter the rabbi's house but left after being searched by a security guard.
The youth then went to the synagogue next door, where the kabbalist was among the worshippers. One of the worshippers was suspicious and summoned police, who arrested the suspect. The rabbi refused to file a complaint so his associates filed it for him. Police are investigating the background of the incident.
