Some Shas political appointees knew about the sexual activities concerning the former Israeli President Katsav before he was elected to the office. And remained silent just as Bakshi-Doron and his cronies held their tongues regarding Metzger.

but too bad he did not yell and scream it, but then again, who would have listened? But if R. Metzger is found guilty, at least our former president Katsov will be able to seek rabbinical advice on dealing with young chicks.

Both suspected Rabbies don't really care about defamation of God, and it seems also that they don't believe in divine justice.

If there were so many allegations, how did he get elected Chief Rabbi. When Rabbi Elyashiv zt' endorced Rabbi Metzger did no one tell Rabbi Elyashiv?

an ex-chief rabbi spreading lashon hara while the metzger case is still before the courts, trying to wash his own hands by unsupported claims of "i told you so" (actually, he should have spoken up when metzger was chosen), and a sitting judge commenting in the media on a case before the courts? the only good side to this is that both the religious and the secular side are equally out of control. oy!

approval. The senior rabbis seem not to have the courage of their convictions, and indeed yet another hillul hashem has been made public. We MUST have as publicly paid representatives rabbis who are able to set the public high moral and ethical standards

Rabbi Bakshi-Doron is either getting senile or he has some personal grudge against Rabbi Metger. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

This is why we need two chief rabbis. If one is arrested we have a spare to fall back on.

no 1,i still prefer sex to corruption anytime
