tom ,   tel aviv   (04.18.14)
minate the human race... But that would've made his position of power superfluous: not good when you want to coral the feeble-minded sheep: haredim.

Dear Sir, You look like an old man You seen world much than many people, You must have many people to respect you. And you must spend many times on The God. And you must also spend many times on your people. I am not sure if you did read my book, The Book of Islam. Even me, did read all books ( just 3 ) You probably did read my book.

I dont mean to disrespect you. But I believe, you afraid of your people. I believe you just cant go out and say ; MY DEAR PEOPLE, WE HAVE TO LISTEN THE LAST WORDS OF THE GOD. WE HAVE TO ACCEPT THE LAST PROPHET AND WE HAVE TO GET INTO ISLAM. NOT HAVE TO …IT IS A MUST … Maybe you keep your way by knowing it is expired. You still keep it because you trust in The God that He will forgive you. İt is only you afraid of your people if they get angry at you but The God ! Your life is belong to you. You can do anything with it. How about your followers ! Do you have right to keep the truth hide from them ? As I sad, I dont mean disrespect But I have to be direct. I have to speak into your heart and mind directly. Dear Sir ! If I invite you to Islam ! Would you be angry at me ? Or Would you feel disrespected ? Anyway, There must be 1000s of better people can invite you before me ! I am not even half of them. I just wanted invite you Thats all. Why ? For a better world.

3. Great news!!!
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.18.14)
Rabbi Cohen shlit"a is the best candidate to replace Rabbi Ovadia Yosef zt"l. He's powerful and excellent for the Sephardic community and also has no fear of the Zionists including that little kipa wearer Bennett, who are out to destroy the Torah and Judaism.
4. #2 - invitation...
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (04.18.14)
...Atilla, a truly very nice, even eloquent message addressing the new chief rabbi. However, all your praise and good will cannot hide a personal agenda - certainly better than violence and mayhem, but still a statement of Islam's superiority and an invitation to convert...
5. Surely this belongs in the business section
Taxpayer ,   Hod Hasharon   (04.18.14)
Since the ultra orthodox view Judaism as little more than a good business opportuinity, surely this article belongs in the Business section. Anyway I am sure that he will soon earn the disrespect his position deserves
6. #3 That's exactly why Bayit Yehudi is seething and upset
K.T.   (04.18.14)
with the appointment of this Rabbi.
7. Chiam No. 3: You are completely
Ronald Simmons ,   Jerusalem   (04.18.14)
off your rocker! G-d willing, you will attain a full recovery from your disease.
8. Comparison
ab5678 ,   USA   (04.18.14)
This dude has a different hat, so my question is "Is the new dude is as hateful and venomus as the last one"?
9. the hater
Shmuel. L. Jackson ,   Bnei Blak   (04.18.14)
this man is a disgusting hater of israel. He will destroy shas, and cause further division and animosity. He is part of the criminal clan of Aryeh Deri, the ex-con.
10. Chaim
Eddie ,   London UK   (04.18.14)
Chaim, do I know you from another place - DT perhaps? ;)
11. Shas leader has NO education whatsoever!
Sage of the Age ,   Israel   (04.18.14)
No credentials to call ANYONE an ignoramus (other than himself). Let someone document an education for him OR Ovadia Yosef! Endless claims of wondrous knowledge but neither could DEMONSTRATE one minuscule bit of superior knowledge. They are legends only in the minds of their zombies. They are modern-day Sadducees and will share their fate.
12. #3: Is that you, Chaim?
Israeli 2   (04.18.14)
Not long ago I understood you to support Feiglin and Bennett as "great" leaders. Remember that I told you, you cannot rely on any of them? I am so glad you found out. Chag Sameach my friend.
13. 2.Invitation to reason,Do you agree that Islam
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (04.18.14)
came into being through violence,murder,rape,pillage ?.like the communists later,"we have to kill you for your own good"at the time of Mohamed,there were 2 Monotheistic faiths in the Arabian peninsula,Jews and Christians,who had schools,a legal system,help for the poor and the sick,and here comes a illiterate pagan,and claims that he is in contact with god,and Jews,Christians and pagans have to follow him,and by the way,Jews,correction,God did not create the world in 6 days,but 5,so,the day of rest is not the Jewish Sabbath,but Friday,does that make any sense to you ?.In far away India,they burned the widow with her dead husband,in Africa they practiced cannibalism,in south America,human sacrifice in a very cruel manner,Is it logical that God who created the Universe and trillions of planets, would create a third clinic in the same neighborhood,why wasn't Mohammad born in India,Africa,South America,where a clinic was really needded?.and concerning,Mohammad being the only and the last prophet,there is the story in the Jewish Bible,sombody came running telling Mozes and Joshua,that 2 Isrealites are prophesying in the camp,Joshua,became angry,and told Mozes,lock them up,Mozes responded,are you jealous for me ?.I wish,all the people of Israel to be prophets,so,the more intelligent,the more humble and sharing.
14. "annointed"????
Aaron Kuperman ,   Baltimore   (04.18.14)
A party associated with a group of academic institutions would logically selected the CEO of the leading instituiton as chair of its committee of scholarly advisors. But "annointed" -- Jews have annointed any leaders for 2500 years. If a Jewish party were ever to "annoint" a leader, it means they are ready to declare war on the State of Israel, since they would be annointing be declaring someone to be the Head of State, and by establishing a revolutionary government, declaring the zionist republican government overthrown. YNET should not be accusing Shas of High Treason (at least, yet).
15. As a Sefardy Hacham,why is he dressed
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (04.19.14)
in European garb ?.
16. "stepping into the shoes of iconoclastic Rabbi Ovadia Yosef"
deavman ,   Akko   (04.19.14)
Why ?? Couldn't he buy himself someproper shoes ?
