Rabbi Ezra Sheinberg, the rabbi from Tzfat (Safed) accused by no fewer than 11 women of sexual abuse, has been threatening prison guards at the Tzalmon Jail where he is currently being detailed, reports Army Radio.
According to the report Sheinberg has been taking the names of the guards from the name tags on their shirts and writing them on a note. He then goes on to recite: “I place on you a kapida,” a type of curse.
Several of the guards have been frightened by the curses, and are trying to avoid Sheinberg. The Israel Prison Service intends to investigate the complaints of the guards.
The Nazareth District Court last Friday shortened Sheinberg’s detention, moving up his release from this Thursday to Tuesday.
Several of his victims have come forward with complaints of severe sexual abuse they suffered after coming to him for advice.
