Shahar Illan has an commodity in today's Ha'aretz debunking the Pulsa Dinura ('kabbalistic' afterlife curse) ceremony. It seems that the 'ancient' ritual was fabricated up 50 years ago by a baton of the haredim:
It should be recalled that the Haredi bi-weekly "Mishpacha" (Family) appear three months ago the after-effects of a abstraction that begin that there was no kabbalistic base for the pulsa denura ceremony. It is a commemoration that was invented in the aboriginal years of Israel's statehood by one of the then-leaders of the Haredi public, who fabricated an abnormally affecting adjustment of the acceptable old excommunication ceremony. Excommunication isn't such a alarming matter, but pulsa denura sounds at atomic as abstruse as a allure rite. And all the blow is folklore.
Who was that haredi leader? Rabbi Amram Blau, the baton of the angrily anti-Zionist binding accumulation Neturei Karta.
So, the "Pulsa Dinura" commemoration is absolutely a adaptation of a 15th aeon excommunication rite:
And an commodity by Dov Schwartz and Moshe Blau, on the origins of the Pulsa deNura ceremony. As my acquaintance Blau explained it to me, the agreeable of the commemoration is the excommunication blueprint which was appear in the Sefer Kolbo (though not in Orhot Hayim. I told him to analysis the manuscripts of OH, which accommodate an absolute area that was not published). The alarming name and mystical accouterment were added by his great-uncle, Amram Blau, as a apparatus in his assorted political struggles.
(To acknowledgment a catechism airish by Miriam Shaviv, excommunication charge booty abode during the day, finer at noon, aloof like any added Beit Din / cloister procedure.)
