Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto is also a descendant of the Pinto's family , a line of Great Tzadikims, and on his mother's side from the illustrious Baba Sale, the Abuhatzira dinasty.
2. Rabbis Blow Shofar Against Iran
Helen ,   Lakeland   (09.05.12)
I am finally seeing the people G-D wants - the faithful! We Christians always hold up the remnant of Israel! Esther is adopted and is in slavery to gentile kingdom yet she asks her people to pray for her people in a time of need. We the Christians are praying and fasting with you! To Jehovah and His Messiah be the glory forever and ever ...AMEN!
3. did they remember theyre also supozed 2 ...
oferdesade ,   israel   (09.05.12)
... march around the walls 7 times?
4. Shofar
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (09.05.12)
The shofar has many significances. It's a wake up call to us to improve our ways and 'return' to the path of G-d. It's also a trumpet sound announcing the King, and it's a reminder of Jericho where the shofar was sounded before the city fell.
5. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY CHANGE THE STRATEGIC EQUATION!
Rafi ,   US   (09.05.12)
6. Rabbi Blows The Shofar
Esther ,   Montreal, Canada   (09.05.12)
Helen, Please pray only to the God of Israel. Do not trust in a man! God's son is Israel.
7. I just LOVE those rabbis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Ger   (09.05.12)
8. Point A to point B
Clark M. ,   Bethesda M.D.   (09.06.12)
Man goes from point A, a place of life, the living, to point B, a grave, the dead, where someone is dead, gone, no more, and seeks assistence and prayer from a G-d that has no limits as to where he can be found and most likely was in point A. These are the Rabbis of Israel
9. Shofar
Enoch ,   Toronto   (09.06.12)
Since Obama is busy with the convention, he asked the Rabbis to take care of Iran. Problem solved.
10. Roch Hashana and Yom Kippur...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.06.12)
are at the door.That is the most favorable time for EVERY Jew,included the Ultra Secular to do what is in our power,to improve Peace in Israel. Here some tips: Finding ways to reconciliate with everybody we were in dispute, Picking up the phone and wish warmly a happy New Year to those we snubbed, Inviting for dinner lonely and old people. Visiting sick people. In short,thinking of ways we can make somebody happy. Having done that, our prayers will have a direct and fast connection to G-D and with His help, Israel will be blessed with a peaceful year. And while Israelis will be smiling happily at each other,their arms will be used for hugs.
11. Amd the fairy queen waved her magic wand
Haim ,   TA   (09.06.12)
Cant help thinking these people shoud get a real job
12. 11 Haim Can i help you thinking?
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.06.12)
These people are hopefully doing a good job.
13. 12 , those prayers will help in the same way as
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.09.12)
they "helped" some 70 years ago . Nothing that listen to them . A good job ? you're a dreamer !
14. 13 Charles, how do you know?
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.10.12)
If for some reason ,a doctor refuses to cure a patient,do you conclude, that in the future he won t cure anyone anymore?
15. #13
jojo   (09.10.12)
the holocaust does not question my belief in God, (we read about the tochacha last week in synagogues accross the globe.) What does make me question God is how people like Charles who ridicule Him have got a foothold in the holy Land. Did God not tell us he would spit out of thr land those who rebel against Him? How can the Holy Land tolerate these arrogant sinners for 64 years?
16. Ora , 14 .
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.11.12)
If a doctor refuses to cure a patient , he is NOT a doctor anymore , because a doctor HAS to cure everyone . A difference , nobody prays to this "doctor" , nobody says that he LOVES and Protects the Jewish people . Here Jewish doctors HEAL wounded terrorists . You compare a doctor "en chair et en os" to G-d ? I'll do the same : i will never trust a doctor who refuses to heal someone , or who can't heal , or worse , who send his patients "en masse" to their death . For me such a "doctor" does NOT EXIST . Sorry if i hurt your beliefs , you provoked my reaction .
17. 15 jojo A Rabbi and a bad busdriver...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.11.12)
are at the entry of Gan Eden. The bus driver is allowed to enter. The Rabbi is not. He thinks, it is not fair and complains. Well,says the guardian,when you talk to your flocks in the synagogue,they sleep; but when the mad driver drives,the bus passengers pray. Are you sure G-D approves the way you talked to a fine Jewish Neshama,with a big heart,who can not believe in a G-D that did not save the 6000000 Jews,during the holocaust? Charles had not the privilege to be educated like you and me.We perceive G-Ds existence in our every day life . Don t you think It might be a good to apologize to Charles?
18. 15 , hopefully we'll stay here TRY # 3
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.11.12)
thousands of years more , WE the GREAT arrogant sinners as you , who did'nt do anything for this country , call us . We are PROUD to be "sinners" and not believers in a "childish superstition " as you pretend to be . The only thing you achieve is widening the relations between "believers" and the SANE Israelis .
19. 13 Charles,Iran is complaining ...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.12.12)
that the drought they experience now,is caused by Israel Thanks G-D ,another dream that became true.
20. 19 , Ora . everything is ALWAYS Israel's
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.12.12)
fault for Iran . Do your prayers bring us enough water ? No , there is nobody who listens to prayers , no "divinity" who can help . What caused the drought in France in 2011 [ with thousands of deaths because of the hot weather ] ? In Spain ? Also your god ?
21. 20 Charles,YES it is the CREATOR...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.12.12)
of the world who decides who will receive rain and who not. At Sukkot we pray for rain in Israel. The more people who pray,the more there will be hope to have enough water this year.
22. Ora , there is not such a creator
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.12.12)
only those who believe in your chidish superstition think it . Prayers DO NOT HELP , they never helped , don't help today , and NEVER will help .
23. 22 Charles,i can t talk for you...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.12.12)
but G-D listens to the believers and very often realises their wishes. It is worth trying. Since you go on treating Jewish religion as"childish superstition" ,i am not interested to discuss with you . You are not a gentleman.
24. Ora , You will be the LOOSER
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.12.12)
I only repeat what Albert Einstein , whom YOU brought in discussion , said about ALL the religions . But i know , it's the same with all those who can't oppose a Sane person , they search for an excuse to FLEE . Anyhow , i wish you all the best for the many years to come
