Extremist elements within the Eidah HaChareidis are reportedly considering holding a so-called “Pulsa Denura” ceremony targeting Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, according to a report published by Yisroel Hayom.

The report states that the initiative is being discussed by members of the same extremist group that was involved in last week’s violent demonstration outside the home of Supreme Court Deputy President Noam Sohlberg.

According to sources cited in the report, the plan has not yet received final approval and remains contingent on authorization from rabbinic leaders. One source within the Eidah HaChareidis reportedly said that any such step would require formal rabbinic consent, but added, “It’s not far from that at all.”

The ceremony being discussed is known as a “Pulsa Denura,” a controversial and highly publicized ritual that has occasionally been invoked by fringe groups in Israel. It is traditionally described as a mystical curse ceremony intended to bring divine punishment upon an individual. Such ceremonies are generally rejected by mainstream rabbinic authorities and are not part of normative Jewish practice.

The report comes just days after extremists vandalized the home of Justice Sohlberg in the community of Alon Shvut. During the disturbance, rioters damaged property, including smashing the windows of the justice’s vehicle and destroying flower pots outside his residence. Dozens of suspects were subsequently arrested.

Meanwhile, Israel’s judicial system staged solidarity gatherings Sunday morning in response to the attack on Sohlberg’s home.

Speaking on behalf of Israel’s judges, Judge Yaron Levy declared, “The Judges Association expresses its full support and solidarity with Justice Sohlberg and his family and calls on all branches of government, the law enforcement system, and Israeli society to unequivocally condemn any attempt to harm judges or subject them to pressure, threats, or intimidation because of their role. We cannot accept a situation in which public or political disagreements are translated into attacks against judges.”

Members of the State Attorneys Organization, which represents more than 1,100 prosecutors and government attorneys, also gathered outside courthouses across the country in a show of support for Sohlberg and the rule of law.

“At this hour, we will all leave the courtrooms and stand outside the courthouse in solidarity and support of the judicial system and the rule of law,” said attorney Orit Korin, chairwoman of the organization. “Under no circumstances can violence against judges or legal professionals be tolerated because of any public dispute.”
