Shimon Baadani

AINโ€™T THAT A SHIMON

Leading Sephardi rabbi Shimon Baadani has died aged 94. Long involved in Israeli politics, he was involved in the creation of the right-wing Shas political party, a frequent fixture of Bibi coalitions in recent years. His tart tongue often got him in hot water, including claims that anyone who didnโ€™t vote for Shas was going to hell. Cheeky little scamp. He had been yo-yoing in and out of hospital in recent months and this caught the eye of Plan B from Outer Space and, as a joker, Clerically Dead.
