Friends in High Places
The extent of his connections are highlighted by the fact that he flew in former Isareli cabinet minister Aryeh Deri to oversee the circumcision of his newborn son Haim Yudel. Also in attendance were Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Ariel Sharon’s personal physician, Boleslav Goldman, and the Schlaff family's New York business partner Shlomo Obstfeld who according to Haaretz jumped from a 19th-floor apartment in Manhattan to his death under mysterious circumstances only a few weeks later.
