Pulsa deNura, Pulsa diNura or Pulsa Denoura (Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: פולסי דנורא, romanized: pulsē di-nurā, lit. 'the lashes of fire') is a purportedly ancient Kabbalistic ceremony in which the destroying angels are invoked to block heavenly forgiveness of the subject's sins, allegedly causing all the curses named in the Bible to befall him resulting in his death. It is controversial for having been allegedly invoked against several contemporary political figures, including by Yosef Dayan against Yitzchak Rabin before his assassination.
Its historicity has been questioned. In Mishpacha, a Haredi magazine, Dr. Dov Schwartz of Bar-Ilan University and the Haredi public figure Moshe Yehuda Blau argued that the ceremony has no basis in traditional Judaism and actually originates in mid-20th century.[1]
