The mysterious death of an Orthodox Jewish millionaire – murder or suicide?
The mysterious death of an Orthodox Jewish millionaire – murder or suicide?

The New York medical examiner ruled Solomon Obstfeld's June 9 death a suicide, but family and friends insist Obstfeld was murdered after a dispute with an Israeli rabbi.

By Natasha Mozgovaya


The mysterious death of an Orthodox Jewish millionaire on June 9 in New York has sparked a whirlwind of rumors, even though the medical examiner ruled the death a suicide.

Solomon (Shlomo) Obstfeld fell to his death from the 19th floor of his posh Manhattan apartment, and while New York police have yet to close the case, Obstfeld's family members and close friends believe he was murdered and have hired a private investigator to look into his death.

A friend of the Obstfeld family told Haaretz on Sunday that Obstfeld, 55, was murdered as the result of a conflict with an Israeli rabbi who had cast a "pulsa denura" death curse on Obstfeld

1. That rabbi committed lashon hora
and should be stripped from his rabbinical duties forever.

2. I've seen many posh Manhattan apartments...
And virtually all of them had video surveillance cameras. Seems this would be an easy find.
