Flying rabbis fight swine flu

[moggie]

Good news! Swine flu is no longer a threat in Israel!

A group of rabbis and Jewish mystics have taken to the skies over Israel, praying and blowing ceremonial horns in a plane to ward off swine flu.

About 50 religious leaders circled over the country on Monday, chanting prayers and blowing horns, called shofars.

The flight's aim was "to stop the pandemic so people will stop dying from it", Rabbi Yitzhak Batzri was quoted as saying in Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

...

"We are certain that, thanks to the prayer, the danger is already behind us," Mr Batzri was quoted as saying.

I'm sure this solution could be adopted elsewhere. Israel has a pretty small population, so you'd probably need more holy men, or more horns, or louder chanting. Anyway, it's got to be worth a try.

Of course, they'd be just as effective and a bunch of old guys chanting and blowing horns.

10. I can help with the horn sounds

"I'm sure this solution could be adopted elsewhere. Israel has a pretty small population, so you'd probably need more holy men, or more horns, or louder chanting. Anyway, it's got to be worth a try."

I'm making sure to fill myself with beans (and beer) to get my natural shofar going.
