Good Thing Judaism isn’t Weird Like Those Pagan Religions…[edit]

We earlier reported on Rabbi Yossi Dayan’s intention to use ~~voodoo~~ use pulsa denura, literally meaning ‘lashes of fire’, on Ariel Sharon. The ceremony took place last Thursday at the grave of Shlomo Ben-Yosef, a Betar member who was hanged by the British in 1938 for firing on an Arab bus in protest of numerous attacks by Arabs on Jewish targets. Activist Baruch Ben Yosef explained

Ben Yosef gave his life for the Jewish people and refused to recognize the British government, while Sharon does everything for himself.

This curse was invoked against Yitzhak Rabbin several months before his assassination.

a statement by Rabbi Ariel Bar Tzadok, from Yeshivat Benei N’vi’im. According to him:

The Pulsa DeNora has wrongfully been associated with a certain school of Kabbalah known as Kabbalah Ma’asit (magic). The Pulsa D’Nora is not a magical formula. Torah and Judaism have no connection to or tolerance of magic in any form. Therefore, the consideration of anything in holy Kabbalah, an integral part of HaShem’s Torah from Sinai to have any ties to magic is a spurious and offensive suggestion. The Pulsa D’Nora is actually not a ‘curse of death’ as many mistakenly believe. No Rabbi or Kabbalist has the right or authority to curse another to death.

In essence the Pulsa D’Nora is nothing more that a desperate cry of help to G-d. One who believes in the power of prayer will be impressed with this. One who does not believe in the power of prayer will ignore the Pulsa as such a one would ignore all other prayer.

It has been said, however, that the Pulsa D’Nora is not to be taken lightly. The ceremony does include the recitation of certain Holy Names. This itself is a sacred undertaking. It is said that when one approaches the Heavenly Court to judge the soul of the accused wicked one, the first one examined by the Heavenly Court is the petitioner. If the one seeking justice is himself not just and righteous, then the Pulsa can turn on his own head. It will be the petitioner who will meets his fate instead of the one who stands accused. For this reason, using the Pulsa D’Nora is a dangerous thing, for who can stand before the Heavenly Court and proclaim oneself to be righteous and just.

according to Arutz Sheva:

Responding to the report, Yesha Council officials released a sharp condemnatory message, deploring the prayer service, emphasizing that it is not an acceptable action even in the ongoing battle against the expulsion plan.

A video exists of the Pulsa Denora that was done against Ariel Sharon. I saw it on the internet embedded in a montage video showing various protests to the Gaza expulsion plan. If I ever come across it I'll try to post it here and allow other members to extract it and link it up to the regular article here. :) 88.152.10.189 10:42, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The "recent usages" section strikes me as not entirely neutral. The connections between pulsa diNura and various assassinations are pointed out in such a way as to imply that they're meaningful, when in fact the editor(s) don't know that and, in fact, they probably AREN'T meaningful. I think this is worth taking a look at. Derfner (talk) 09:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"It is thought" that Titus died .... Only by ignoramuses. Titus didn't come to the throne until years after the fall of Masada -- and didn't die for some years after that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.135.106.50 (talk) 21:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to the following page, the Pulsa Dinura ceremony is a fake, invented 50 years ago by Rabbi Amram Blau, the leader of the anti-Zionist group Neturei Karta: http://bloghd.blogspot.com/2005/07/pulsa-denura-not-what-you-think.html - JT, 13 October 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.101.81.13 (talk) 07:49, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kabbalah Blessing...?[edit]

Is there a Kabbalist blessing which is the complete opposite to the Pulsa diNura?--Splashen (talk) 04:17, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
