Paedophilia and sexual abuse is a disease and should be stopped by life imprisonment. Men should not be allowed to be alone with children women should always be present, there should be video cameras in schools cheders and yeshivot.. Give these criminals life imprisoment. Bring in the death sentence. Pedophilia is an addiction the Takana should have acted more strongly 4 years ago
2. Moti Elon (ex Rabbi)
leah amdur ,   Jerusalem Israel   (02.19.10)
Lets appoint Governor Crist as Minister of Justice, Minister of Police and head of the army. We would soon have no more problem from criminals, in other words if they rape, murder or sodomize they get a lethal injection or are hanged by the neck until they are dead. They have destroyed the lives of their victims so a life for a life. They are so sick in the head they think they are doing the victims a favour. They call it a pinuk. This sickness will only be stopped with severe penalties life imprisonment and more
3. He is a sex offender not a pedophile
#1 and #2   (02.19.10)
Rav Eilon is not a pedophile. His victims were all young men over the age of 18. He is just a regular sex offender.

How do you know he didn't do it to younger boys as well? He was in a position of power and they trusted him. A sex offender should also be imprisoned for life or get the death sentence. A homosexual who abuses men is like a rapist who rapes women. There is no such thing as a regular sex offender he is a dangerous pervert and should be punished. These sex offenders usually blackmail their victims and the victims lives are destroyed.
5. to 1 and 3...HELLO????
Alon   (02.19.10)
if the Rav were a Palestinian you'd be screaming that you can't find him guilty until there is a trial or concrete proven evidence. But a Rav and YNET - put it together and let's blast the man, destroy him and all he's done with no trial, no examination of the evidence. Sheesh, you people are a disgrace.
6. Mrs Amdur is right
Loyal Jew ,   Efrat   (02.19.10)
All men have the "tools" to do what RAbbi Elon is suspected of. To protect their victims, men must be denied the opportunity. The halachot of yichud (being "watchable" at all times) should become law of the land. And men should be given herem (shunning) long before they get to the stage that Rabbi Elon is suspected of.
7. #5:The story is from a council of Zionist rabbis. They
Reb L. Yell ,   Carmiel, Israel   (02.19.10)
would not make it up. They should receive respect for what they are trying to clean up.
8. Pointing fingers and Lashon Hora
Rabbi Y. Ashkenazi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.19.10)
When you point a finger at someone three fingers point back at you. Before we condemn let's know all the facts. Loshon Hora is equaly serious.
9. Takana failed
Jacob ,   B7, IL   (02.19.10)
Every third class psychologist could have told them that "exiling" Elon to Migdal would not help him to "overcome" his problem. There are tons of literature about homosexuality and how to deal with it, but obviously orthodox rabbis don't read this stuff. Seems they have to include worldly literature into their education, too bad for the additional victims after Takana already knew about the problem. Or "Rav Motti" was thought by them to be a better human than we normal mortals... Anyway, the idea is to have treatment, not silence.
10. There is treatment for homosexuality?? Does Elon want it??
Reb L. Yell ,   Carmiel, Israel   (02.19.10)
This is the 21st century. Homosexuality is not regarded as a disease in medical circles. When the Takana forum publishes complaints, they deserve respect. Soon all Elon's defenders are going to drop him like a hot potato.
