Flying rabbis fight swine flu
A group of rabbis and Jewish mystics has taken to the skies over Israel, praying and blowing ceremonial horns in a plane to ward off swine flu.
About 50 religious leaders circled over the country on Monday, chanting prayers and blowing horns, called shofars.
The flight's aim was "to stop the pandemic so people will stop dying from it", Rabbi Yitzhak Batzri was quoted as saying in Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
"We are certain that, thanks to the prayer, the danger is already behind us," added Mr Batzri was quoted as saying.

Why are eggs related to Easter celebrations?
Sorry folks, but Easter eggs have nothing to do with the resurrection of Jesus. It truly should not come as a surprise to anyone to learn that Easter is (was) a Fertility Holiday. Bunnies, Eggs, Spring, and even the name, all point to its origins long before it was associated with Christ.

Catholic Church Upset Again
Nine-year-old 'incest victim' aborts twins
- March 5, 2009 - 11:33AM
A nine-year-old girl who was carrying twins, allegedly after being raped by her stepfather, has undergone an abortion despite complaints from Brazil's Catholic Church.
Police said the stepfather has been jailed since last week.
Abortion is illegal in Brazil, but judges can make exceptions if the mother's life is in danger or if the foetus has no chance of survival.
Fatima Maia, director of the public university hospital where the abortion was performed, said the 15-week-old pregnancy posed a serious risk to the 36-kilogram girl.
"She is very small. Her uterus doesn't have the ability to hold one, let alone two, children," Ms Maia told the Jornal do Brasilnewspaper.
But Marcio Miranda, a lawyer for the Archdiocese of Olinda and Recife in north-eastern Brazil, said the girl should have carried the twins to term and had a caesarean section.
"It's the law of God: do not kill. We consider this murder," Ms Miranda said in comments reported by O Globo.
Calls to Ms Miranda were not returned.
Brazil is home to more Catholics than any other nation.

Brazilian priest suspended for support of condoms
Brazilian priest suspended for support of condoms
Posted: 02/26/2009 01:03:06 PM MST
BRASILIA, Brazil—A Catholic priest serving in the Brazilian congress has been temporarily suspended from his priestly duties for supporting the free distribution of condoms to prevent the spread of AIDS.
The Rev. Luiz Couto has been suspended from his work in the northeastern state of Paraiba.
Archdiocese spokesman Eisenhower de Albuquerque says the church took the action because of Couto's public stance "in favor of the use of condoms, his support of gay marriage and his opposition to priestly celibacy."
Couto spokesman Jose Moreira says the priest is not a gay-marriage advocate but is an opponent of discrimination "including discrimination against homosexuals."
