Last update - 09:13 11/04/2008 New Zealand rabbis join search for missing Israeli tourist By DPA Tags: New Zealand, Israeli tourist  Two rabbis have joined a police search for Israeli tourist Liat Okin, 35, who has been missing for more than two weeks after setting off alone on a three-day hike in New Zealand's South Island, a local Chabad Web site reported on Friday. Rabbi Menachem Goldstein, New Zealand director of the Chabad-Lubavitch sect of Hasidic Judaism, and his assistant, Rabbi Oren Raz, have flown from their base in Christchurch to Queenstown to assist in the search, the group said on its website. Local police have said they do not suspect Okin has been a victim of foul play but she had little food with her when last seen on March 26 as she set off to walk the 35-kilometre Routeburn Track.

Specialist rescue volunteers joined the hunt on Friday after a helicopter and ground search found no trace of her the previous day.
