My esteemed friend, one of the world's great Jewish Outreach rabbis Rabbi Amnon Yitzchak shlit'a (photo, left), recently snatched a soul right out of the Angel of Death's clutches. Here's the story from a very reliable source in France:
Five years ago, a young woman became ill with leukemia, a month after getting married. The doctors gave her no chance to live, and at that time, Rabbi Amnon came to give a lecture in Lyon in June 7th, 2004.
The woman sent a representative from the Shoshan family to request a blessing from the Rabbi. The Rabbi requested from her husband to study two hours every day, without any verbal interruptions, and an additional half hour of Mussar, and through this merit, the illness will be transferred to Arafat's head.
The doctors told her she has no chance to live, because the situation worsened every day. But thank G-d, the husband learned Torah fervently as Rav Amnon said he should, the wife strengthened herself in emuna, and the blessing of the Rabbi was fulfilled word by word. Arafat died of leukemia or from some illness in the blood, the same day she got out of the hospital.
Israel has three powerful weapons - Torah, emuna, and its tzaddikim.
