Young Orthodox, who was in Thailand on business, and was about to return to Israel for Rosh Hashana, was arrested when he wanted to buy a gift for his wife.
The Haredi man went to a jewelry store to buy his wife jewelry for Rosh Hashana. The seller mentioned a price, the buyer handed him a $ 100 bill - and waited for the change. Seller examined the bill and determined that it is a fake bill.
Orthodox began to argue, and the seller asked him to wait - and called the police. Within minutes he found himself handcuffed, led into custody.
The detainee was quick to contact Rabbi Nechemiah Wilhelm, Chabad emissary in Thailand. Rabbi Wilhelm: "The seller called the police and the police arrested the young Haredi suspected of counterfeiting banknotes. Although the Orthodox tried to explain that he had received the bill from a money changer, but to no avail. Here in Thailand there is a procedure in all criminal matters, which the prisoner would have to stay in another month, until proven innocent. I have been able to release him on bail, and he spent Rosh Hashana with us at the Chabad House in Thailand, along with about 1,000 people participating in the Rosh Hashana meals.
"I advise all who encountered a similar situation, to change money only in banks. Not at money changers, because money changers roll counterfeit bills. In an event that someone accuses you that your bill is fake, do not argue, simply leave, advises Rabbi Wilhelm, and claims that the young Haredi tried to argue. "This is standard procedure here," says Rabbi Wilhelm, who hopes that the young Haredi could return to his family as soon as possible.
