Indeed, Rabbi Eliyahu called him over, rebuked him, and even raised his hand, giving him something between a slap and a caress. With his other hand, Rabbi Eliyahu presented him with a candy. "Take it and make a blessing."
"I have received more than a few reprimands and smacks in my life," the man said. "But I never received a rebuke that affected me like the one I'd gotten from Rabbi Eliyahu. He knew how to deliver a rebuke with such love and care; it touched the deepest, most inner parts of my being."

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
