Man In A Dog?!!

A stray dog which refused to budge from the home of a recently deceased rabbi has finally moved on after a 'redemption ceremony' at an Israeli cemetery. The dog, pictured in the local Israeli newspaper, showed up at the house of the late Rabbi Nahman Dubinky. Rabbis expert in Kabbalah, or Jewish mysticism, concluded the animal could be possessed by a tortured soul seeking redemption. Ultra-orthodox Jews traditionally do not keep dogs as pets. "Sometimes the souls of sinners, such as adulterers or people who slept with non-Jews, enter the body of a dog," Rabbi Yitzhak Basri, a Kabbalah scholar, told Israel radio . "It is known that when a righteous man dies, the souls of people in need of redemption come to him so they can be healed as a result of his death." Sounds like more than enough reason for the rest of us to stay on the right path!
