Four Years in Jail for Elchanan Buzaglo

B"H

The 28 - year - old Michal (not her real name) is more than happy and she even jumped up when she heard the verdict. "There is a G - d. A G - d of righteousness and not THEIR G - d".

"Their" G - d.
With this expression she is hinting to the anti - Zionist umbrella organization Edah HaCharedit sending the 29 - year - old Elchanan Buzaglo after her in order to bring back Michal on the path of modesty. Buzaglo met her and kicked her all over her body. He brutally beat her up but Michal wasn't his first "job".

The Edah HaCharedit paid 2000 Dollar to Buzaglo who got arrested and now was convicted by an Israeli court of spending four years in jail and paying a fine of 10.000 Shekels (approx. 500 Dollar).

The life of Michal is very typical for a young woman leaving haredi society. Already at the age of 16, Michal knew that haredi society wasn't for her. Her parents were horrified and did what many haredi parents to in such a case: They looked for a Shidduch in order to marry her off, give her responsibility and loose all her thoughts about running away. Once you have your own kids and a family, you will realize your purpose in life and don't follow your (Yetzer). And, furthermore, there suddenly is a husband watching you.
Michal got married to an 28 - year - old guy although her parents had told her that he is only 23.

Sometimes the plan works out but not in the case of Michal. Despite she had been a mother of three by the age of 22, at the age of 25 she left her family. Right after she had left, her husband took the three children (today at the age of 6, 10 and 11 years) and escaped to the US. Mainly because he wanted to prevent an Israeli court from granting custody to the children's mother.

Michal started working in the wig business and also looked for a new husband. One she would love. Furthermore, she completely left haredi society. The Edah decided to bring her back to Zniut (modesty) and not ashaming everyone. Then the hitman Elchanan Buzaglo met Michal and beat her up. Usually, most Edah victims keep quiet but Michal went to the police.

Many Haredim want to appear so terribly religious without even realizing that they are just the opposite. A "Chilul HaShem - Desecration of G - d's name" and I am asking myself how important a society really is. How far can people go in order to protect their life but not G - d ? It is those parents and the acts of the Edah giving a bad name to society and not Michal.
