Now that I know of my extreme cruelty to the female gender, I have decided to stone myself to death. This should be consistent with the law. But first, one more donation...

human creature.” Shut up and put a sock in your overly eager judgemental mouths. What about the cases of children born to religous parents that are beaten beyond recognition, sexually and mentally abused. Get your own sodding house in order before you DARE judge others!

There is a Creator of this world. He who created eyes surely can see your actions, He who created ears surely can hear your words. Therefore please refine the way you speak to those learned in His Torah. Plus Though one would have to do a proper statistical study, i think it is fair to say that there are far less sexual assualts in the religious world than the secular world-that's why not every rape commited by a secular will be splashed accross the front page news-coz unfortunately-it's wouldn't be news! I for one wish your children and all children to be brought up in a house as loving, warm and kind as the home i was. G-d Bless You and your children

Talulah for shame. How dare a humble woman like you question the rabbis's wisdom. These same rabbis forbid organ donation. I wonder whether they are allowed to receive donated organs.

Obviously the specific issue of sperm donation is a controversial one over which people will disagreeably strongly. But the bigger picture is to its great credit Tzohar is able to gather together rabbis who both disagree and respect one another without the usual acrimony characterized by charedi rabbino-politics.

Some of the very best religious women have pioneered this, and are providing a wonderful and deeply religious upbringing for their children. And the children grow up without the bad influence of bigoted fathers.

Religious extremists really have a singular goal: to blame women for everything, especially the crimes of the men. Stop and think - what drives a woman to single motherhood? Are you absolutely sure it was her first choice?

We, the non-religious Jews also have dignity and demand respect. Please you and all your brethren in faith change your language when you speak with us. Do not call things we do "abominations". (Where is my prosciutto?/aka pork) Only then, will I give you the respect you demand in the name of your god.

I lack the knowledge to have a halahic opinion on this issue and I do not have a moral opinion either. I am, however, Rabbi Rabinowitz,, able to know cruelty when I see it. Shame on you Rabbi Rabinowitz.

ASSAULT ON RELIGIOUS VALUES BY THE MONARCHY OF JOURNALISTIC SLANDER !

now they make sure that there will be few jews by creating all kinds of obstacles. and that is the problem: the rabbis bemoan the declining jewish numbers, yet they are the ones who so narrowly define who is a jew, who isn't, and . i'll tell you how to be more jewish, they say. get a jewish education from me, they say. only i can determine who is jewish and who isn't, they say. if you want to get married, only i can perform it and i say that you must marry another jew, they say. is it just me, or does anyone else notice that these guys put their own self-interests and positions ahead of everything else in this world?

become cruel "rabbis". "No such thing as a single parent family"? I raised my children by myself after my wife passed away. And my children are better than the spawn of these evil "rabbis"!

Strictly on a theoretical basis, would a "gentile" sperm sample be required to go through an orthodox conversion, or would a conservative, or reform conversion process suffice? So much to think about . . .

Once again your chit-chat is misdirected. I'm responding to a comment made by a RABBI - maybe it's HIM you should be preaching to and not me. Maybe it's him that doesn't realise 'god can hear his judgemental words and blah blah!

They are not allowed anything!! They live by outdated claptrap - they believe in something they cannot see and therefore frustration sets into their empty meaningless and lazy lives. It isn't what a person says, it's who a person is. And that doesn't amount to much.

so a woman and a man get married. they have a child or children. they get a divorce. father pays no child support and neglects to see children. mother raises children all by herself. she is now a single parent. is she evil???? i think these rabbis should kept their mouths shut and let HaShem do the judging. they are the evil ones ..do not tell me to respect them because they are learned in TORAH. you follow them and threat them like they are gods. when in fact they are just men. stop treating your rabbis's like they are g-ds .........

As Jews become more concerned with the meaning of their bank accounts, and less with the meaning of their lives and relationships, they become less concerned with the nation of Israel, and with reproduction. Rabbis are a model of narcissism, and followers follow.

Who cares what some senile Rabbi says. It is womans choice to do what ever she wants to do with her body. If she wants to have a kid , then good luck to her. I suppose the rabbi when talking of bringing up children in wedlock also is refering to that monster who molested and tortured her children because her so called Rabbi told her she had to cast out the devil? You people make me vomit!

why does everybody need to speak to bad about each other - so what if a rabbi said you can't use someones sperm for donation? - does that make him also condon child beating / molestation . It always facinates me how people always lump all " religious rabbi's" into one group. yes there are more right wing individuals around but does that make all of then evil - you need to take a step back and read what people write in these talkbacks - it very disturbing - and on a day like the 9 of av - a very sad day in our history. also shame on YNET for putting a article like this in - is your only goal to bring out the worst in people and make controversy - the jewish people already have enough outside people doing this - it does not need to come from within -

While it is very horrible to grow up with a bad father, I can't help but wonder how a child born from a sperm donor feels. Most people want to know what their roots are. Maybe a survey should be done on these children and when they grow up ask them how they feel about their situation.

There is an increasing number of single religious women who are going this route. It seems that their rabbis are okay with it, because it is likely that they have consulted with them. I think this chap just has a problem with, to take a line from the popular song, "sisters, are doing it for themselves!"

God's best friends, these rabbis are so hopelessly clueless, that there is only one conclusion left, end the tyranny of trading God like some valuable currency. With or without allegory, this is a sad statement on all religions, while there are some positive passages in the Holy Scripture, there is more negative content in the whole affair.

All I see here is assumptions and prejudices. If you did any research you would find that Rav Rabinowitz actually is PRO organ donations and himself has a donor card.
