oh... and Rita! and Mrs. Tzippora Schpitzer, which shows that not only are the "schwartzes" stupid beyond recognition so are the "ashkenazim"... that's a relief. How low can we go? Now , what's the adress.......?

I wonder if this will have an ending that is anything except embarrassingly shameful?

He's not Moshiach !

he assisted ordinary people with ordinary problems? why is he assisting the rich and famous? What benefits does he reap?

Beware of false prophets who do not promote TORAH.

Beware of idle loose tongues speaking ill of one you or I know absolutely nothing about. Better to shut ones mouth.

Even the Rich are in need of a Rabbi and spiritual advice not just the poor. Money and Power can bring a person farther from God, its good that someone is able to show these people that God is in control of everything. All you athiest God haters need to understand that since the beginning of civilization most powerful rich people had hired advisors and spiritual advisors so stop the hate and open your eyes. Every Prime Minister of Israel and many US presidents were recorded asking for advice and help from big name spiritual leaders. Dont hate.

from doing what he does. How about property in mid-town Manhattan. Pretty beneficial if you ask me...

Maybe he can teach and convert Erdogan to his religion

He's nothing more than a filthy charlatan exploiting and praying on the ignorance and stupidity of others.

A certain Jew who died several thousand years ago, who supposedly performed acts of thaumaturgy is still being worshipped world-wide. Hmmm...I personally see some parallels between this person, his great-grandfather and the long dead Jew. Thaumaturgy has been an extremely lucrative racket throughout the ages...and there are plenty of suckers/believers everywhere. Foolish credulous people will accept just about anything that fulfills their yearnings for mysticism, mystery and esoterism. Why? Because it makes these people feel good/blessed to be involved with a "benevolent" agent of some superior power... That being said... the world probably needs another wonder Rabbi to take over from the very famous deceased one in Brooklyn.

The US economy is going into the abyss and it would take a miracle from H" to rescue it!

For unbelievers?

If he was taking money for himself he wouldn't put it in the name of a non-profit organization

Anything is possible.

The US Economy is heading to a cliff, it will make the great depression look like a sunny day in the park. Clue, he takes massive donations, has an apartment in Manhattan, and he does not advise his supplicants to do tshuva. Look out suckers!!!

To answer some of your chatges about the Rabbi Y Pinto: He never claimed to be a Prophet nor did he seek to have followers, if you read this and other Articles, you might learn that in fact as a young child he already shown some form of wisdom that was not commensurate with his environment (Ashdod as a Maabara, is really not a conducive milieu for anycultural or social advancement, at least till the people shown their own worth), and his socalled 'outworldiness' is because people are not in the habit of accepting gifted person whose . The Rabbi is an actual scion of a Dynastical 'Hazer" in Morocco for 500years, way befor any Eastern European Hassidic Courts. What's more that he was known already way before the 2008 economi crisis. I am a Moroccan and I am not a religious nor am I ready to accept phenomenon, but like any open minded 21st century curiose, I am willing to let people (by the way not religious) to make their choice as much as you make yours when you go to by CHEESE. Are they sucker?! those who 'donate'to the Rabbi are not just do so under duress, but they also get a release of their anxiety, anxiety because of their inability to make a decision. They do need an 'adviser', so voila, they get some in return: A Solution to their troubled mind. So, they are not sucker as in the cases of the Stock Market Ponzi schemes.

Can this wonder rabbi heal a sick fly ?.

Ayush ! Many people in distress,since they can't reach God above created little gods on earth, that they can touch and talk to,like baba sally,baba caduri,baba rentgen,and now baba pinto,do the gentile rich,like Donald Trump,Warren Buffet also ask the advise of gentile babas ?.

he is leader of shuva Yisrael - a gang related institution dangerous and wicked people - stay away!

All i know is that HaRav Mutzafi - one of the big sephardi poskim severed all contact with Shuva Yisrael - as he stated that there are big bullies "Biryonim" in charge...

People like these make life difficult for all Jews in the synagogue and in our everyday lives. We must stand up to this negative and harmful behavior once and for all and keep them out of the shuls and out of harms way. They are a serious danger to all Jews. Keep ALL Politician rabbis out of the shuls!!!
