Shimon Baadani

AIN’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 didn’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.
