Update from Rav Kaduri / Correction / Invalidation

Update from Rav Kaduri / Correction / Invalidation
In a previous post (here) I posted some information attributed to the holy master kabbalist, HaRav Yitzchok Kaduri, shlita, that stated an imminent prediction for natural disasters and a suggestion to move to Israel to avoid this.
Today, Rabbi Brody of Lazer Beams received some information that the source of this quote from Rabbi Kaduri was not accurate and gave Rabbi Brody direct contact information for Rabbi Kaduri. Here's what he found:
Since this morning, I received six letters claiming that Yehoshua Meiri is not a bona fide spokesman for Rav Kaduri shlit'a. One person put me in contact with Shimon Tetrashvilli, Rav Kaduri's personal attendant and bodyguard, as well as close associate of Rabbi Yisrael Kaduri, Rav Kaduri's grandson. Shimon, with the approval of Rav Yisrael Kaduri, dictated the following statement:
1. No one is a bona fide spokesman for Rav Yitzchak Kaduri shlit'a.
2. Accept only what you hear from Rav Kaduri first hand.
3. Although Rav Kaduri recognizes the value of making aliya, he has not called for immediate massive aliya. Indeed, the Rav continues to bless many of his followers who choose to remain abroad.
4. No website is sanctioned to speak in Rav Kaduri's name.
5. Rav Kaduri has not predicted or forecasted any natural disasters other than what appears already in the writings of the Navi'im (prophets).So, though some like to make jokes about it, turns out the mistake is believing everything they read and not giving anyone the benefit of the doubt.Assuming the above statement itself can be believed, the web site Kaduri.Net (hebrew) is also an unreliable source. Some have also noted that there are those collecting in the name of Rabbi Kaduri or to "get a request for blessing" to him. It would seem (and this isn't surprising) that they're not 'authorized'. Hashem YeRachem.(This site has some pictures and info about Rabbi Kaduri.)Tagged Topic(s): ,
