1. this judge is a jew hater

2. This "rebbe" is an abomination
Isaac Sharfstein ,   Chicago, USA   (05.09.09)
This rabbi is an abomination in the face of G-d. 30 years is hardly enough.
3. cohen #1- You are an ar*e by definition!
Arie ,   BaGolan   (05.09.09)
He raped his own daughter and then raped her again on the stand. And you have the AUDACITY to condemn the judge for putting this piece of garbage away?Sadly there is no death penalty for his type in the US. Even castration would do. On the bright side, there IS a "social hierarchy" in the prison systems in NY. And pedophiles and child molesters are at the bottom and face SUBSTANTIAL abuse and harassment. He will NOW feel (literally) what his daughter felt!!!!! By the end of the first week, he will be praying for the death penalty!!! There will be justice for snake eyes.
4. judge is kind to rabbi
Jeffrey Brock ,   USA   (05.09.09)
I see that the judge was kind to the rabbi, as in the USA, the judge could have sent the rabbi to his grave for raping his own daughter. I would have sent the rabbi to his grave had I been the judge. And I am the greatest jew lover of all times. I married one. Not everyone that sentence's an evil jew to prison is a jew hater. Perhaps had he followed Torah, the judge would have sent the rabbi to his grave. now, go and find someone to say something nice to. It will make your day go better. Shabbat Shalom.
5. This judge should set an example to
Vardina   (05.09.09)
our superficial judges who have not got the slightest consideration toward the suffering of molested and raped victims.
6. the rabbi is a jew hater not the judge

8. great place 4 a joke, cohen
oferdesade ,   israel   (05.09.09)
9. #1 Are you crazy??
Pal Pal ,   The M E   (05.09.09)
The "man"molested his daughter over many years, then treated her sadistically in court, and his son! Is this accepted behaviour by jews? Why is the judge anti-jewish??
10. 3.2.1...
Garytown ,   Bedford, Tx   (05.09.09)
It didn't take long before somebody either said that the judge is an anti-semite or a jew hater. When one cannot back up or justify their actions they resort to lies, smears, and name calling.
11. Cohen #1 is clearly a troll
Ivy League ,   US   (05.09.09)
Ignore him.
12. This Convict is NOT a Rabbi
Gaby ,   Montreal   (05.09.09)
13. I like #1's sense of humor, but...
NoPatienceForIdiots ,   Syosset, NY   (05.09.09)
in all seriousness, this man deserves whatever he gets. His kids will probably never be okay after experiencing something like this. He is the worst type of Jew in that he makes a bad name for us all.
14. # 1
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (05.09.09)
Do you torture your daughter the same way ?.I suspect your name is not cohen, but tayfun or marco,2 great lovers of zion.
15. This "man" is an abomination
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.09.09)
That he was ordained a rabbi years ago has not such an importance . He did'nt act as a TRUE Rabbi , but as a TRUE "chayie" [ beast ]
16. Nothing New
cas reader   (05.09.09)
It is now well established that many Ultra-Orthodox Jews have been molesting their children for years. This rabbi deserves to be put in jail for a very long time.
17. @#1 I hope your kidding
GHook93 ,   Chicago   (05.09.09)
This Rabbi is the lowest of the low, regardless of religion. Harming your own children! Protecting one's family should be #1 on everyone's list! I hope this guy rots in hell! Prison has never been to fun for Jews, I imagine its much worse for child molesting, incest engaging rabbis!
18. Please. Do stop.
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (05.09.09)
This "rebbe" is a monster.
19. # 15
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (05.09.09)
Wrong ! Beasts don't behave like this.It's against nature.
20. Sick Rabbi
ben ,   singapore   (05.10.09)
I know of many who try hard to have a child, but are still trying. And there ar e also many children at the orpnage that need a home. And there are also this kind of rabbis who abuse their children to madness. Waht a world, confused sick Rabbis COMMITING TRANGRESSION AGAINST THE LRD G-d .
21. Agree with #1
lover of zion   (05.10.09)
Plain anti semitism case. How about bringing the UN to investigate and accuse the Jews of targeting children. Enough is Enough. Six million. Never again.
22. Child Molesting Rabbi
Leon Arieh Kwalwasser ,   Santa Monica, CA. US   (05.10.09)
I wonder how many Kosher meals in prison he will have with Bubba.
23. Unfortunately he will not serve 30 years as he will probably
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.10.09)
get time off for "good behavior." His crime screams out for justice and I feel sure he will get his due measure of punishment when he meets Hashem face to face on judgment day.
24. other inmates will also "punish" him
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.10.09)
They don't "like" child molestors
25. #1 The rabbi has been found to be a rapist
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.10.09)
...now, if we would only do the same thing to they guy who came here from Brooklyn in the 1980s after being accused of sodomy on small children (as he is continuing it in Israel apparently)
26. Not the first nor the last on the list of shame
Avi-former Sruggie ,   Israel   (05.10.09)
*Yehuda Nussbaum *Jerry Brauner *Alan J. Shneur Horowitz *Yehuda Kolko *Avrohom Mondrovitz *Ze'ev Sultanovitch *Mordechai Yomtov *Israel Weingarten Isn't all their knowledge in Halachot enough to keep their hormones in order?
27. #26, re: Halacha and hormones
Nahum Litwin ,   Kfar Saba, Israel   (05.10.09)
Avi, as the current effort for separate buses proves, knowledge of Halacha is not an effective control of hormones.
28. #27--Knowledge of Halacha?
Brana Lobel ,   Israel   (05.10.09)
#27 Of course knowledge of Halacha is an effective control of hormones, if that is what his problem was, and not a warped mind from day one which is more likely. The fact that some Jews choose evil is a fact from the beginning of Judaism. As you may recall, we were warned about this by both Hashem and Moshe. So don't blame it on Halacha and don't blame it on Torah. This "rabbi" was an abomination, all knowledge and no morals, so his place in Judaism is very very shaky. Terrible story.
