31. In a recent lab experiment
Sagi   (10.31.13)
it was concluded that when a fruitcake and soy combine the result is combustion leading to incurable permanent insanity.
32. It is my theory that complete separaton of the sexes
Zev ,   Israel   (10.31.13)
also contributes to being gay. What would the honored Rabbi say about that.
33. High spirits have always been ..
Nothing new .   (10.31.13)
ridiculed by mediocre spirits.
34. #33 ridiculous
ky   (10.31.13)
If that is the case then high spirits must always be making ridiculous comments whilst our creator has set us mediocre spirits the task to bring them down to earth. High spirits indeed , you would need some good quality scotch to make such a daft comment.
35. # 33 Yes
Sagi   (10.31.13)
Asti Spumante said boo to Dom Perignon.
36. next joke please,I need to laugh more.
marc ,   tel aviv   (10.31.13)
37. #27 is right
noa   (10.31.13)
Religious Jews who keep kosher use soy products more than the average non-kosher non-vegetarian and would therefore have a greater number of homosexuals. Maybe the Gur Rabbi knows more than we do?
38.  Rabbi says eating soy makes you gay?
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (10.31.13)
He must have learedt this from an Islamic Madrasah. Pathetic ignorant nonsense from another so called religious leader. How is it that these ignoramuses become leaders of a community unless they are utterly gullible; that must be the answer.
39. Great Purim-Spiel rabbi-you are not so good with calendars
miki ,   tampa   (10.31.13)
40. false stories about Gur
Nathan ,   Cote St Luc, Canada   (11.01.13)
After hearing about the ban on handshakes, I asked a Gur chassid if it's true. He said absolutely not, and referred to a wedding he just attended, where everyone shook hands. Don't believe everything the press tells you about Gur (or other Chassidim). Much of it is plain narishkeit and falsehood.
41. to #3 Alon in Hertzliya
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (11.01.13)
You are correct that the Satmars are not level-headed. On the other hand, I regret to inform you that soy DOES contain compounds that are CLOSELY similar to estrogen. This is biochemistry that can not be denied. Hominids are designed to eat animals and root-crops. Scientifically speaking, only rodents and birds have evolved the necessary physiology for dis-abling the toxins in seeds. Plants spend metabolic energy to protect THEIR babies for the same reason YOU do. this is basic evolutionary biology. Facts are facts.
42. And beliving Ynet articles may make you stupid
Gimmie a Break ,   Jerusalem   (11.01.13)
What on earth is their proof for this? They are linking to failedmessiah - not an actual news source but the blog of some guy who left religious Judaism and has a major axe to grind!
43. Soy taste handshake
Yossi ,   Brazil   (11.01.13)
Perhaps, he is gay after handshaking men for all these years! All that fear is very suspect.
44. Fruit of life
(11.02.13)
Soya could be forbidden culprit in centre of Garden of Eden (women with estrogens and menopause related issues suggest why only Eve was deceived but not Adam) - element of truth in this finding from our learned Rabbi – so may they also discover the fruit of life.
45. Soy
i ,   jerusalem   (11.04.13)
I learned long ago that soy is really bad for you unless fermented (soy sauce, tofu) This was known forever in the Far East. I have since sworn off soy, corn and any other stuff that is by default considered GMO. Dow, Dupont, Gates Foundation, Planned Parenthood, and others are all documented as aiming for getting rich off of, and then depopulating "undesirable populations. You can judge them by their fellow traveler, Monsanto. P.S.. The Gur folks I know are mostly warm, civic , level headed people. Never judge by headline.
46. What about curry?
manicdrummer ,   Haifa, Israel   (11.12.13)
Does eating curry dishes make you bi? Now be honest! And don't jump to conclusions about me, I'm just asking an innocent question. OK?
47. Rabbi
Edouard ,   Montreal canada   (11.20.13)
When will we have a law to jail this lunatics They negative grip that they have on the kids and parents of they community is terrible It must be stop
