Yitzhak Kaduri ( Hebrew : יצחק כדורי , Arabic : إسحاق الخضوري ), also spelled Kadouri , Kadourie , Kedourie ; " Yitzhak " ( c. 1898 – 28 January 2006), was a Haredi rabbi and kabbalist . He taught and practiced the kavanot of the Rashash . His amulets were distributed to voters before the Israeli election in May, 1996, in exchange for their votes for Benjamin Netanyahu and the Shas party. During his lifetime he published no religious articles or books. At the time of his death, estimates of his age ranged from 103 to 108, and his birth year is still disputed. His funeral, held in Jerusalem, drew over 200,000 followers. He did so by distributing thousands of "magic" amulets to his devotees, who were then obliged to vote for Netanyahu in the prime ministerial poll and for the Orthodox Shas party in the simultaneous party elections... Conventionally Orthodox Jews... enjoyed pointing out that his supposedly divine amulets were marked "Made in Taiwan"."
