10. no urine test?
hanina ,   usa   (01.11.06)
Don''t they do urine testing there? If he is innocent, he will act without withdrawl in jail. If he is guilty he should have his Rabbinical license revoked. I would let him go after 24 hours and surprise him with urine test requirements during the next 6 weeks. Rabbis who help drug users should not ever hold onto contraband.
11.  RELIGION
victor ,   california   (01.12.06)
RELIGION IS THE ONLY SUBJECT THAT DIVIDE THE HUMAN RAZE , WE ARE NOT CHOSEN , NOBODY CHOSE US , IS A CREATION OF THE HUMAN MIND LIKE GOD IS A CREATION OF THE HUMAN MIND , TO CONTROL THE PEOPLE .
12. 5 grams, only amount for one cigarette!!
yoel   (01.12.06)
I'm astonished by the picture showed as illustration for this article. This man is handling maybe one kilo, and this is not what the rabbi had in his pockets. I don't know why I shouldn't trust this rabbi. Since he wasn't sentenced guilty, I feel he's innocent and good educator.
13. Who doesn't smoke hash in Israel??
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (01.12.06)
Everyone smokes hash now... its so common a recreational drug even more than alchohol.... big deal, its not heroine.
14. 5 Grams? One spit weighs more than that. The IDF won't
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (01.12.06)
kill the people firing rockets into Israel but the courts can worry over 5 grams? Can we have some sense of proportion here? And thank you for showing a large brick of something in the photo to illustrate 5 grams of hash. That was very creative, but not very honest.
15. maybe
(01.12.06)
soon we will find in the market .... the holly hashish ... bless your family with one gram holly hash 50$ , seams preaching the people does not make enough money .... poor rabbies
16. availability
alan ,   usa   (01.12.06)
Unfortunately hashsish is all that is available, if other stuff was there, it would be more preferred.
17. 12
Khalid ,   Halifax   (01.12.06)
definitely more than enough for one cigarette, but youre right, the picture is a massive exaggeration. Do you think the Rabbi listens to Snoop Dogg in his free time?
18. Let them smoke hash!
Anoosh   (01.12.06)
It makes them happy and thoughtful. Kosher and Hallal hash sould be standard issue for the rabbis, mollahs and priests.
19. needed
alan ,   usa   (01.13.06)
With the attitudes of most american synagogues, rabbis need it.
