Oded Menashe Eulogizes Rabbi Amos Guetta and Shares Remarkable Story of His Spiritual Insight

Oded Menashe delivered a heartfelt eulogy for Rabbi Amos Guetta, who was fatally stabbed in Netanya earlier today. During the broadcast on Channel 14, Menashe recounted a personal and moving story that highlighted the late rabbi's extraordinary spiritual abilities and perceptiveness beyond the obvious.

Menashe described an incident at a synagogue in Netanya where the afternoon prayer quorum was short by one person. Rabbi Guetta asked a young man to call a worker from a nearby construction site. When informed the worker was Arab, the rabbi insisted, "Bring him down." Upon meeting the worker, Rabbi Guetta directly asked if his mother was Jewish, to which the worker confirmed, explaining his father was Arab. The rabbi then invited him to join the prayer quorum, emphasizing that they would never have suspected him to be Jewish otherwise.

Menashe emphasized that Rabbi Guetta had observed the worker caring for the building on the top floor and recognized his Jewish identity. He concluded by stating that this was just one of countless miracles and insights the righteous rabbi had, and expressed the community's profound loss.

Rabbi Amos Guetta's death has deeply shocked Netanya, where he taught, and his funeral arrangements are underway. The incident has stirred significant mourning and reflection on his spiritual legacy.
