1. Stupidest. YNet. Article. Ever.
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (08.31.06)
I can't decide who is dumber, the idiots who wrote this or the idiots who believe it.
2. Ynet
Ram ,   London   (08.31.06)
We look forward to your update on this story ;-).
3. Rabbi
Shalom   (08.31.06)
Pls get your facts straight - this was not the Chief Rabbi of Bnei Brak, this was some idiot posing as a Rabbi. This poor man was obviously so desperate that he sought kabbalistic methods, which is not what he got.
4. The Rabbi's Advice
NYC Girl   (08.31.06)
I can't believe that in the 21st century, in a country as modern as Israel, that a rabbi would tell a distraught husband to dump sand on a doorstep as a means of getting his wife to come back to him. This is just as primitive as the voodoo curses that are practiced in some much less civilized societies. But, at least those people have the excuse that they aren't very sophisticated.
5. Idiot! lesbians are good !!
Itay ,   Israel   (08.31.06)
6. lesbos
efi g ,   washington dc   (08.31.06)
I was hoping for a better outcome. Not a good story. My advice: Give the lesbian wife what she really needs. I will let you figure it out.....
7. Stupid woman
Chaya   (08.31.06)
Causing a lot of tsoris just for sexual satisfaction! I should know. I was there once. Just because something 'feels good' doesn't mean it should be done. Drugs also feel good.
8. DOES IT WORK WITH OLMERT"S DAUGTHER ?
Ariel ,   Afula   (08.31.06)
9. Wants her back?!
Josh ,   Tel Aviv   (08.31.06)
Divorce her! She is perverted. It is forbidded for Jews to do majic according to Torah (Baalam & Ballak)....Don't make it worse dumping sand. Dump the cheating perverted woman and find one who is less mental.
10. Cure lesbian with sorcery' win wars with David blaine magic
mo ,   montreal,Qc   (08.31.06)
this is so stupid/ desperate.
11. Raging Fire
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (08.31.06)
Wet clothes hanging on a line do not burn in a "raging fire," unless they are washed in gasoline?
12. No imagination.........
mike ,   herzliya   (08.31.06)
This 'rabbi' has got no imagination. And the husband is an idiot too. Why not get the lesbian lover to join them in the sack so that the husband can also have some fun - maybe she's bisexual. Many are.
13. maybe the rabbi should try sorcery on his kooch - kooch
jamila bornstein ,   ny, ny   (08.31.06)
if the rabbi feels the need to exercise the demons from a lesbian i wonder why he feels threatened? how many too-toos does the rabbi have in his closet? how many visits has the rabbi made to the poll dancing girls near binyan klal?
14. How much did the rabbi charge for the sand, I wonder?
Andy   (08.31.06)
15. #4 Don't underestimate stupidity of people
Minnosh ,   USA   (08.31.06)
and don't overestimate modernity of Israel. Blind belief and desperation of losing a wife to another woman makes you do stupid things :) not that I have been there myself. But I would not complain if I were the husband, I'd just make sure to join the duo to make it a trio :)
16. Got the idea from Madonna, the Kabbalah expert
(08.31.06)
If Iran can cure pollution with religion, sand can indirectly re-align genetics. Good luck with that.
17. #8 lol u stole my comment lol
fadi ,   lebanon   (08.31.06)
18. #7 Chaya, you are an unbelievably consistent bigot
(08.31.06)
with no knowledge of this issue. There is plenty worse that could be said about your city, by the way - all based on ACTUAL choices people make.
19. Another Reason
A Gay Christian ,   USA   (08.31.06)
This is just another reason Jews are going to hell. This Rabbi didn't accept Jesus. Jesus was Gay. It is PROVEN in the Bible.
20. Uhhh . . . Comic Relief?
emanon ,   USA   (08.31.06)
21. To No. 15
NYC Girl   (08.31.06)
We have people here who put voodoo curses on people, but that doesn't mean New York isn't a modern city. And I have to disagree with you, but I've lived in Israel and it's as modern as any country I've lived in.
22. It works
Michael U ,   SF,CA   (09.01.06)
Hello, I don't know about the particulars, but my story is very similar. My wife ran off with my ex-best friend back in 2003. At that time, as a result of my three tragedies {1 - my brother dying in WTC tower #1 on 9/11, 2 - losing my job during internet bubble bursting, 3 - divorcing wife of 10 years}, I returned to Judaism, and Orthodoxy at that. They lived about 30 minutes from my house for about 1 year. I went to their apartment and sprinkled dust on their doormat. Lo and behond, 3 years later she calls me and wants to re-marry me. Don't scoff at the rabbis, sometimes their wisdom is greater than your secular scientific BS.
23. If you can't beat them, join them :)
Joiner ,   PA USA   (08.31.06)
24. Idiotic Responses
David ,   Yerushalayim   (08.31.06)
2 categories: (1) It can't be true and (2) Hatred toward lesbians. Or both. What is this, Poland in 1700? And by the way Kyle, at some point clothes hung out to dry become dry. Ever thought of that?
25. lesbos
efi g ,   washington dc   (09.01.06)
Is Olmerts daughter lesbian? Oi vey! So many nutters evrywhere.
26. That is considered "Avoda Zara"!
whatever ,   israel   (08.31.06)
... and it is wrong! Rabbi's idea is ridicoulos!
27. # 22 Michael U
Michael A. Gold ,   El Paso, Tx   (09.01.06)
I hope you didn't remarry her?? Deut. 24:1 thru 24:4 I can tell you one thing that does work, but you will probably not like the repercussions that follow. I know it works, but I DID NOT like the end results of my actions.
28. lesbian stories
efi g ,   washington dc   (09.01.06)
Funny article. More funny ones please! We like a good balance. Even articles like this get a response as you see. I bet the clothes they burned didnt even belong to the lesbo. i wonder if she was hot.
29. #22 Michael the BSer
(09.01.06)
Do us seculars a favor: the next time you or yours are ill, don't seek our medical help. Go die with your foolish Orthodox rabbi.
30. Wrong! He was supposed to hit her on the
jason white ,   afula,israel   (09.01.06)
head with the sack of sand. If the sack was big enough,he could have blocked the entrance to the apartment. With all the news in the world,this has to be on y-net? Y?
