2. gods chosen people at play again
Miss Marples ,   London   (11.19.09)
" a light unto all other nations" more like a red light. Just another example of these religious people and their so called morality.
3. he's no rabbi
he's no rabbi ,   Sydney, AU   (11.19.09)
Why does Ynet call this guy Rabbi? What is the name of his congregation? At what yeshiva does he teach? Just because someone studied in a yeshiva make one a rabbi? Is every cathodic who went to a convent school a Priest?
4. it's hilarious that next to the title it says...
Brian ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.19.09)
...NOT KOSHER, lol 8P
5. bogus "rabbi" story from ynet
yoni ,   tel aviv   (11.19.09)
As long as they can use the word rabbi they are happy to put it on the news. What kind of rabbi was he? conservative, reform orthodox? did he have a synagogue? why was he in business with an arab partner if he is a rabbi? once again ynet loving the anti religion
6. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.19.09)
A grown man (a Rabbi no less) solicits sex from a prostitute and pays for it with an illegal drug. This is almost as sordid a tale as the 15,000 Roman Catholic priests currently serving prison terms in the United States for sexually molesting little boys. So much for priestly celibacy. It's not just the Catholics, either. I understand that this is a problem with Episcopal priests (that would be the American version of the Anglican Church). Heaven only knows what is going on with the 82 other Protestant sects. At least the Rabbi engaged in consensual sex with an adult partner. The 15,000 priests raped little boys. I don't know how many Episcopal or Lutheran or Presbyterian priests were involved, but they were less choosy -- their victims included boys and girls. Sick, sick, sick perverts. Do you have anything else you would like to comment upon with respect to morality?
7. 3 according to pakeed's unassailable logic, yes
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.19.09)
according to him, the pakeed used to be a titled baptist "minister", which has resulted in making him a qualified final authority on all things christian. heck, he himself is judaism's 16th pakeed chosen by god himself (to deny this fact is to reject god's appointed authority figure here on earth). so to answer your question: yes, minimal schooling does make one a religious authority figure.
8. arabs and jews the often meet only on absurb things
ziad ,   gaza   (11.19.09)
why are arabs and jews always in agreement and form alliance when it comes to crime , and when it comes to the good things they fight , looks like we have to learn more from the criminals on coexistanse
9. Indict him, put him in jail, and forget he ever existed.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (11.19.09)
All I see here is a criminal calling himself a Rabbi, not a Rabbi. As someone has already asked, did this man even have a synagogue and a congregation to call his own? Because in (Orthodox) Judaism, the average Rabbi is just a man who studied practical aspects of Jewish religious law long enough. If Mr. Chalomish is guilty as charged, let him rot in prison.
10. So, can I call myself a Rabbi now?
Smith ,   TA, Israel   (11.19.09)
No proof needed right? Because it seems a trendy thing to do. I'll have awesome parties. Nasir Abbas, long lost cousin of Mahmoud? They both get high a lot it seems.
11. Probably a reform 'rabbi' but nevertheless a Jew
Cohen   (11.19.09)
somewhere out there in the world that Ynet found important to dig up and put in their news. When will Ynet have another chance to besmirch Rabbis?
12. to #8 oh and the orthodox jews say they study
ghostq   (11.19.09)
all day, apearently they don't use their self hand method they also look for it real satisfaction, sex drugs and bible book hahaha.
13. Actually The Times UK Online
HUGE CHILLUL HASHEM   (11.19.09)
published it, thern a USA website then Ynet. So stop stupidly blaming Ynet. I'm not Ynet's greatest fan, but to concentrate on Ynet printing it, when the terrible Chillul Hashem is the REAL issue is really bringing out the proverbial blinkers again, which we love doing on occasions don't we.. Rabbi shmabbi is NOT the issue as you well know.
14. Where is your article High Crt Judge Beinisch forcing Rabbis
Cohen   (11.19.09)
to give kashrut certification to Messianic restaurant in Ashdod?
15. #6 Sarah B attempts to divert attention
Miss Marples ,   London   (11.19.09)
i would suggest you sort our your own home before attacking the Catholic Church. Just another example of your so called morality ! What kind of a message is this sending out to our young people here in the UK, Rabbis do coke for sex - tut tut tut
16. who is this 'Rabbi'?
gid ,   manchester, uk   (11.19.09)
I live in Salford - just off Upper Park Road - but I've never heard of him. I don't know everyone who lives in the area, but he certainly isn't a local Rabbi.
17. greedy snorter
david rosenbaum ,   Paris   (11.19.09)
101 grammes for a big nose is still called greedy. why was he called a rebbe after all?
18. UK rabbi 'offered cocaine for sex'
Marco ,   Spain   (11.19.09)
It cant get any lower than that, even for a Rabbi. lol
19. A light unto all other nations...
Marco ,   Spain   (11.19.09)
Its more like "A red light district unto all other nations". lol
20. Can you expect anything better from YNet's kind of Rabbi?
Yehudi ,   Jerusalem   (11.19.09)
No religious Jew in Manchester has heard of him, who is he?
21. UK rabbi 'offered cocaine for sex'
Marco ,   Spain   (11.19.09)
Must have been one heck of a horney Rabbi. Untill and unless you people change your 'hole in the sheet' policy, you will keep having more and more sexually perverted Rabbis. lol
22. #10 So, can I call myself a Rabbi now?
Marco ,   Spain   (11.19.09)
Smith why do you consider yourself a Rabbi? Are you a pervert too!
23. #16 Go to the website Vos Iz Neias
(11.19.09)
Many from Manchester have written in and know him, his family and his background. Some write with compassion, while being horrified at the events, and in no way condoning his deeds. I'm waiting to get blasted that some 'dare' to write with compassion. "And did he have compassion for his victims blah blah blah?" Turn it off, we've heard it all before, ok? I just answered #16's logical query, so don't shoot me, I'm just the shin gimmel...
24. Do all spaniards laugh at their own (non) jokes
(11.19.09)
or have we hit the jackpot by being constantly pestered by this loner. Is life so boring there that he's always 'here'? I guess so. Maybe try the Canaries for a break signior, it might help you. Ola and out.
25. Who wrote this article.. how does he know this is a Rabbi?
Jay3 ,   Israel   (11.19.09)
26. u.k. rabbi
mr.happy ,   manchester   (11.19.09)
This man should be given the benefit of the doubt,rather than judged harshly. The local knowledge is that he is known,but not as a well man, he wife died suddenly and tragically, and although he studied he did not qualify as a Rabbi.We should not be so quick to join the rest of the world in vilifying fellow Jews.
27. What is the blessing for cocaine?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.19.09)
I already know the one for sex.
28. to #24 he isn't spanish he is more
ghostq   (11.19.09)
visiter from the south of spain COMPRENDE.
29. How truly sad that I'm no longer shocked!
Talula ,   Israel   (11.19.09)
Rabbi Shmabbi - there are about 10 decent Rabbis on this planet who love, care about and respect Judaism - the rest use their status to incite riots and molest little boys.
30. RABBIS RAVE PARTY
zionist forever   (11.19.09)
I love the idea of a rabbi renting an apartment to have parties. Sounds like a teenager away at university. Renting an apartment, having wild parties with sex & drugs He should follow the example of Israels haredi. Travel on segregated busses & spend the whole day in yeshiva studying Torah.
