== "Handwashing" quotE == 

 As is clear from the full quote, which I pasted above, Shahak does not himself claim that pious Jews are worshipping Satan when they wash their hands. Rather, he is citing this as a cabbalistic interpretation of the act. To quote this, as a "Controversial quote", without the contec=xt, implied falsely that this was Shahak's own belief. I have removed this misleading section.
