Oren Zarif's Illegal Employees

This story is absolutely nuts, and I bring it to you just for the kicks you will get from it.

The population and immigration authority (I dont know what the official name of the authority is in English. In Hebrew it is called Reshut Ha'Uchlusin V'Hagira) has been running a campaign against illegal workers - they are running a campaign informing the public of the illegality of employing people with no work permits.

Oren Zarif, self-declared mystic, has given us a doozy of a story. He sent a letter to the immigrations authority saying that in response to the campaign,he has decided to come forward. He has employed four employees with no work permits, but he did not know that it was illegal. Now that he knows that it is illegal, he says he has decided to inform the authority, and do what it takes to get them work permits.

So far, so good. Now is where it gets crazy.

Zarif says his four employees are from Singapore, the Philippines, and Bombay. Zarif requests setting up a meeting in order to bring the four of them in so they can get registered and become legal. The catch is that they are invisible. Zarif says the four of them are virtual people who can see but cannot be seen.

The four employees have tremendous spiritual powers and thousands of years ago used to deal in holistic medicine (they are reincarnations of people from that time) and had a tremendous impact at the time. Recently, Zarif says, "they have been living in my house under my supervision and over the course of the day they assist me in my work in the different branches of my office."

He continues saying that he would not be able to continue his business without them. He plans on applying to the Ministry of Interior for permits for them, and paying bituach leumi payments for them, and all other requirements of the law.

He closes off saying that he understands they might be hesitant to meet with him and his employees, as they might be afraid of being in contact with invisible entities. He reassures the authority that if that is the case, at the meeting he will request of his employees that they make themselves visible so as to be seen like anybody else.

Awfully nice of him.

The response of the immigrations authority people said, "We are happy that the issue of illegally employing illegals has increased in people's awareness, but unfortunately our ability to enforce this is only with people of flesh and blood."

I hope this story made your day just a little bit better...

  1. Rafi,

    I had actually seen the story on the internet (ynet, I believe) before you posted it.

    However, your portrayal does it more justice than the news item did. It certainly added a little something to my day!
