I cannot believe that God is a murderer, who would killed tens of thousands of people over the arrest of two yeshiva bochers who may have been smuggling drugs. No! My God is, as the High Holy Day liturgy states, full of compassion, slow to anger, quick to forgive. This rabbi's god is an idol fashioned in his own twisted image.

Whenever I read these articles I wonder at the nerve, stupidity and lack of perspective of the rabbis "who know God's will." When will there be some smart and observant rabbis who call this what it truly -- a sacrilegious stunt not worthy of any Jew and certainly one who believes in God.

I honestly cannot believe this. It is embarrasing and absurd

in polite, courteous, diplomatic English-- It is my opinion that someone dropped this man on his head and then someone else decided that he should be made a rabbi because he was too retarded by his head injury to do anything else!! Ok now I agree with you they are entitled to have their opinion too!

Susan what great Rabbi What shoes? This man is saying things that cry out in Shame before the Throne of G-d and you want me to say he's a great Torah Scholar? Oh Pleez!

The rabbi is doing a "Cover Your A$$" and trying to assist his 2 drug carrying mules. The rabbi should be ashamed of himself for using drug money to protect his little fiefdom!

The issue at hand, and the criticism there-of, is not whether the scum drug smugglers are guilty or not. It is the IDIOTIC, STUPID, MORONIC rant by the "rebbe". Is G-d so evil, as to kill thousands of people, displace millions of people from their homes, and render the food source of millions non-edible, all because 3 scum drug smugglers were arrested??????! think about it... Japan has historically been GREAT to the Jewish people. Over 25,000 Jews were saved by Japan during the Holocaust in the Philippines alone... So where is your sense of "divine justice" there?! Don't be so quick to defend a moron.

Why would god punish the Jewish people with such ignorance, hatred, and laziness?

rabbis doing crimes implicate hashem and desrve no leniency

there are a whole bunch of questions that we could ask G-d and you know what we wouldn't get any answers because with all due respect to G-d: He's got to work on his people skills! He's good at listening answering well that's a whole other game plan!

little world too much

One thing is fairly certain, you travel on Shabbat You are doing exactly what the Goyim have been doing for years, generalizing This is one Rabbi he doesn't represent all I cast his bias aside, just as I do yours, for being worthless

You surely have also good sides.

If they have that much power - then why aren't praying for something to happen in Iran who we all know is the instigator of all "our" problems.

Where do these Rabbis live - in never never land! The yeshiva students broke Japanese law and deserved whatever they got. Yeshiva students are not divine beings and are not excluded from punishment for wrong doing

Religious Jews need to come to terms with the Holocaust in view of their g's responsibility. Absolutely nothing they have said since the Holocaust in favor of g makes sense because it cannot explain how Holocaust was allowed to happen. No belief in g is justified and anybody with any brains would stay away from Jewish religion because of the Holocaust. And before the last Holocaust? Let's not start talking about the Inquisition, OK? And not about ... etc., etc., ok?

Remember when you jews laughed at the iranians for saying their earthquake was caused by immorality???? I guess you guys are no better

I remember a rabbi saying a million arabs isnt worth the finger nail of a jew Face the facts people many of your rabbis and citizen are racist and bigots of the worst kind you guys are good at pointing the finger at arabs but when someone points the finger at you, you scream anti semitism

They were destroyed by an astroid strikng the earth. What was their crime? Traveling on Shabbos?

there is something to be said for the way HaShem moves about. The Holocaust well, all those were scarificed and are at home with HaShem and he will not let them come back. there is a limited value for reincarnation for us Jews. And that was HaShem flexing his muscules a little bit. this could be the prep for the final redemption with gog/magog. he is anrgy about something it seems. why the japanese, we may never know.

not sure how. I am not sure it was about the Haredim or if it was in connection to Gog/Magog or not inwhich case then the connection may not have anything to do with the men who did this smuggling.

either going wayward or being duped into waywardness. if you put all the pieces togeother of the rest of the world and then add this in, you can see it differently.

redemption. they were part of G-d's plan to take us all home. they will not be reincarnated and in fact there is a limited value of reincarnation for us Jews. this is part of the tikkum olam when maschaich comes. and that is all.

Yes.

Two convicted and jailed drug dealing Yoshiva Bocherim of this Rabbi are more important than: 1. Gilad Ben Aviva Shalit 2. all of the Israeli MIAs 3. all of the other Israeli soldiers who's final resting place is not known. 4. all of the murdered Israeli Diplomats in various places throughout the world but at the moment particularly the four Israeli diplomats murdered in Buenos Aires Argentina by Hizabballah with Iranian assistance. 5. all of the victims of Arab terrorism whether pre-State such as TARPAD or after the establishment of the States such as last week in Jerusalem 6. the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, and the six million non-Jews murdered during the Holocaust. Wow! Either: a. this rabbi is a total paganist twit or b. G-d's balance sheet is way off! since choice 'b' is not a viable option then the correct answer is "THIS RABBI IS A TOTAL PAGANIST TWIT!"

Idiocy.
