Sinai said he fled to Israel with his family in the 1990s and  converted to Judaism. Israeli forces pulled out of southern Lebanon in 2000 and fought a war with Hezbollah in 2006.

    In a lengthy interview with Reuters, 52 year-old Rabbi Avraham Sinai explains his remarkable journey which began back in Lebanon when he was a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

    Sinai explains how circumstances led him to working with Israeli intelligence, eventually working as an undercover operative in Hezbollah.

    Sinai explains that finally his cover was blown, which led him to being relocated to Tzfat, where he and his wife converted to Judaism under the tutelage of chief rabbi, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu.

    Kol Hakovod. May we see more people that see the truth in yiddishkeit, and the falseness in the so-called Iranian controlled Islam. They kill on a whim anyone that disagrees with them.

    Neat story.

    Even the lot that hates the eye of judgment can have an eye of total contribution. Rabbi Sinai should be commended on his life.

    I see Torah in his giving nature.
