31. Ordination of Homosexual Rabbis
Margaret ,   Australia   (09.11.06)
Have you gone mad? Leviticus 18:22 is plain! If it was an abomination to G-d in the days of Moses, what makes you think G-d has changed? Are the 10 commandments different because we now live in modern times? Please Rabbis WAKE UP!
32. #23 They are the same!
Mark Bellm ,   USA   (09.11.06)
SIN is SIN! The Torah teaches many actions are sin, homosexuality is one of them. READ IT! Homosexual action ARE SIN! Too bad for you! Rabbi's are to teach the torah, and NOT give in or water down GOD'S WORD just to please people like you.
33. RE: Gay Rabbis - They should lift the Ban!!!
Alex ,   Miami, USA   (09.12.06)
Gays have a right to live, sure. But how on earth can you expect them to be able to preach a religion that claims that homosexuality is wrong? That's completely absurd. That's like changing the interpretation of the religion so that you can preach that murder is ok. It says blatantly that it isn't? How do you get around that?! I'm not even Jewish. Whatsoever. But I hope to God that your last statement, "The Tortah [sic] was revised so many times by rabbis to fit their needs - so one more adjustment will not hurt!" isn't true, because that says a hell of a lot about what's happening to Judaism.
34. Disgusting, this article should stay in the gutter where it

belongs.
35. 34, What Were You Doing in the Gutter?
The Golem ,   Los Angeles   (09.12.06)
Do you spend much time there? If not, then you should also "dan l'khaf z'khut" for gay people too.
36. Homosexual Rabbis
Leigh Close ,   Eagle Point, OR- USA   (09.13.06)
Come on, Israel- read your own Holy Scriptures (Leviticus 18). This is an "abomination" to the Lord. Help to steer sinners to the Lord who forgives. We can show love but not condone sin.
