HaMekubal HaRav David Batzri on Sunday afternoon will make a fourth attempt to try to remove the dibuk that allegedly plagues a Brazilian man. Previous attempts, both in person, and even tring via trans-Atlantic video hookup (Skype) have failed.
When the news of this attempt leaked out, many curious on-lookers began heading to the Makor Baruch area of the capital, to Rav Batzri’s Yeshivat Shalom, in the hope of being present during the ceremony as they did earlier.
Not everyone is convince there is a dibuk with some indicating mental illness is more likely, including Eida Chareidis Av Beis Din HaGaon HaRav Moshe Sternbuch Shlita, (http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=44669) who was quoted at attributing the sounds emanating from the young Brazilian bachur to such illness when questioned in the case last month. It should also be noted that Maran Hagon Rav Elyashiv also refused to meet with the individual involving the Dibuk.

I thought the Israeli media concludid that that this “Dibbuk Story” eas also a hoax – it was just a money raising gimick.
This story is getting tired and old…this is just one more example of publicity for items that do not contribute to kvod shamayim.
When in doubt go with the Gadol Hador.
A dybbuk is not necessarily the same as mental illness. Compare the afflicted person with patients in a place like Herzog Hospitol. It may be the same as schizophrenia or night terrors, which may really be a dybbuk. A big difference is that a dybbuk really creates fear. Mental illness is weird and very irritating. They are not the same thing.
Dybbuk -3, “Mekubal” – 0
Isn’t it time they admit that the “dybbuk” won the match and call in a psychiatrist (for all of them, not just the unfortunate young man).
What if the man really has a dybbuk. Would you all elect to leave it in him? Why should he suffer for the rest of his life just because you don’t believe in dybbuks?
here we go again if it is real then all of this should be done in private without making a joke out of it and if it is not then enough is enough we are making a mockery of our gadolim

I think he is suffering from something called a Nqoswerty. Why should he suffer just because you don’t believe in Nqoswerty
