In a Sunday July 1, 2012 photo, Rabbi Yaakov Israel Ifargan, known as the 'X-Ray' rabbi for the belief he has the ability to diagnose patients by eyesight only, looks on during the annual gathering of the rabbi's followers and supporters in the town of Netivot, southern Israel. Over the past few decades, Ifargan and dozens of other rabbis have carefully positioned themselves at the fulcrum of Israeli power and influence. (AP Photo/Tsafrir Abayov)
