On occasion, he even shows up in sackcloth and ashes. He is Amram Blau, 63, leader of a fanatical Mea She'arim sect called the Neturei Karta (guardians...
...arim, Blau's word is law, and periodically he has also tried to enforce his views on the rest of Jerusalem. Before police could stop him, he often dashed onto the field at Saturday soccer games to steal the ball from the players and run off shouting "Shabbos! [Sabbath] Shabbos...
