FILER SHOWING AILING RABBI SCHACH DURING A TEL AVIV RALLY

TAV01:ISRAEL-RABBI:TEL AVIV,3FEB97 - The ailing spiritual leader of the Lithuanian sect of the ultra-Orthodox Haredi Jews, Rabbi Eliezer Schach, was rushed to hospital on Sunday after complaining of breathing difficulties. Schach, seen here in this June 17, 1992 file photo addressing a religious rally, urged his followers to vote for right-wing candidate Benjamin Netanyahu on the eve of Israel's May 29 general elections, a move that helped give him the 30,000 vote edge on Shimon Peres in the race for prime minister. dps/FILES/Photo by Havakuk Levison REUTERS
