Subject: Day of Tefilla for Elisha Odess: Teen Tortured by Shabak for false Duma confession
To:

For the past two years, many of us have been following the tragic story of the false incarceration, torture, and administrative detention of Elisha Odess. 

Elisha, a teen from the Shomron, was 16 when the Shabak arrested him and accused him of torching a house in the Arab village of Duma. The Shabak did not have a shred of evidence that he was ever in Duma or had any involvement with this incident. 

To obtain a confession, they tortured Elisha brutally for three weeks with the approval of the police, the defense establishment, and the Shabak.  Elisha "confessed" to the "crime" on the last three days of his brutal and unrelenting torture. 

Following the burning of that house in the village of Duma, there were additional house burnings there. The Israeli government admits that that these cases of arson had nothing to do with Jews or "hilltop youth." They were part of Arab clan family infighting. But the Shabak and government persist in linking Elisha to the first arson.

This Monday, February 12, 2018 (according to secular calendar) the court in Israel will hold a hearing which will affect Elisha's fate. The judges will hear the evidence of the prosecution and the defense. After that, within a short time period, they will decide if Elisha is innocent or guilty.  His life hangs in the balance. 

Elisha needs Hashem's yeshua. Therefore, the family and friends of Elisha ask that you daven individually, and organize Tehillim groups and say Mi'Sheberachs for Elisha in your batei knesset, youth groups, yeshivot, and women's groups. 

Please daven wholeheartedly for a complete yeshua for 

Elisha Chaim ben Naama Leah

אלישׁע חיים בּן נעמה לאה

May Hashem save Elisha, free him and grant him a speedy yeshua. 

PLEASE FORWARD to as many people as possible. Am Yisrael needs to unify with one heart to pray for the geula of Elisha Odess.
