Superstition changes name of pullout operation
JPost.com Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST Sep. 19, 2004
Superstitious concern led the IDF to change the code name that had been given to the disengagement plan.
The name, "Zohar ha-rakia" (brightness of the heavens), which was chosen randomly by a computer, is a line from the El Male Rahamim prayer, recited for the repose of the souls of the dead.
Rabbis who had learned of the name assigned to disengagement operations appealed for it to be changed because, they warned, it doesn't herald good news, Yediot Ahronot reported.
The El Male Rahamim (God Full of Compassion) prayer, recited by Ashkenazim after a burial, on the thirteenth day after a death, and at Yizkor memorial services, contains the line "But grant perfect rest on the wings of Your Divine Presence in the lofty abode of the holy, pure and valiant who shine as the brightness of the heavens to the soul of [the departed]." The El Male Rahamim prayer corresponds to the Sephardic Ashkavah prayer.
Rabbi Daniel Shiloh from the Kedumim settlement in the West Bank commented on the sinister name. "It is amazing how cynical and ironic it is that the name chosen for the plan to uproot thousands of Jews from their homes is a phrase said over graves of the dead. Even if clearly the name was chosen randomly by a computer, it is still chilling."
One of the names offered as a replacement is "Avnei derech," which means milestones.
