A Jew Gains Werewolf Protection Rights in Argentina

Argentina's President has adopted a young Jewish man as her godson to prevent him from turning into a werewolf.

President Christina Fernández met Yair Tawil and several members of his family at her office on Tuesday to hold the unusual ceremony, dating back over 100 years.

According to Argentinian folklore, the seventh straight son born to a family will transform into the feared "el lobison."

The werewolf shows its true nature on the first Friday after the boy's 13th birthday, legend says. The boy turns into a demon at midnight whenever there is a full moon, doomed to hunt and kill others before returning to human form.

Belief in the legend was so widespread in 19th century Argentina that families began abandoning - even murdering - their own baby boys.

That atrocity sparked the Presidential practice of adoption, which began in 1907, and was formally established in 1973 by Juan Domingo Peron, who extended the tradition to include baby girls.

Seventh sons or daughters now gain the President as their official godparent, a gold medal, and a full educational scholarship until the age of 21.

Yair Tawil, the seventh son of a Chabad Lubavitch family, is the first Jewish boy to be adopted, as the tradition only applied to Catholic children until 2009.

Shlomo, the director of the Chabad House in Rosario, and his wife Nehama Tawil wrote to the President in 1993 requesting the honor for Yair but were denied on religious grounds.

However, Yair, citing the 2009 decision, wrote to Fernandez this year asking for the designation of godson - and it was granted.

At the ceremony, Fernandez and Yair's family lit Hanukkah candles together using a menorah from Israel presented to the president by the Tawil family.


In a series of tweets, Fernandez described the meeting as a "magical moment" with a "marvelous family." She described Yair as “a total sweety,” and called his mother “Queen Esther.”

The President also tweeted that the Tawils “are a very special family. They have a sort of peace, happiness and a lot of love that is not common.”

If you ask me, I don't think it's a good thing for these Jews to request being adopted by the Gentile President to gain werewolf protection rights, but I'd like to hear what others have to say about this.

Obviously their motive is financial as it means the state is going to pay for their son's education.

I thought Kirschner was Jewish.  No?

Not Jewish but Jew hater. She went as far as accusing the local Jewish community leaders of being Mosad agents because they wouldn't let go of their demand that the Argentinian and Iranians who are responsible for the terror attack against the Jewish community will be brought to justice.

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner publicly attacked the head of Buenos Aires' Jewish community, hinting he was in contact with a "foreign espionage agency that knows of a new terror attack planned against Argentina."

Fernandez told the General Assembly, “The Jewish institutions that always support us, they turned against us. We asked Iran to cooperate with the Argentinian Justice Ministry several times. Then we signed a Memorandum of Understanding which is a tool to cooperate. We want the Iranians to declare the facts to the judge.
