Not afraid to be an individual. The rest are the 'herd'. It's called guts, and I salute him as always.
2. but then the former rishon letzion
7azon Yesha3ya   (02.22.10)
is quoted as saying that back in 2006, motty elon and his wife met with r' eliahu, and tried to form with him a rabbinic front against taqana. when r' eliahu became aware of the full weight of the suspicions against motti elon, he used his full weight, to see r' elon removed from any official capacity as a rabbi. it appears also that he pressed to see elon and his family leaving Israel and going to exile overseas. so what game is mr scharansky playing?
3. Truth

Kobi Nachshoni you know that Sharansky does not have all the information.You know that when Rabbi Eliyahu received the informatio n about R.Elon he told him t leave the country. Why publish this then. Understandably N.Sharanansky is in DENIAL.This is his rabbi,teacher and friend.
4. HaRav Eliyahu NEVER SAID what Sharansky claims he said.

How very like Sharansky to exploit Rav Eliyahu's current physical indisposition to attribute quotes to him that he never said. I am related to HaRav Mordechai Eliyahu and in all the years I have known him, no one has ever heard the Rav speak Leshon HaRa. The Rav would NEVER engage in the kind of chitchat about a 3rd party which Sharansky claims to remember. That would be tantamount to engaging in LaShon HaRa --- something which the Rav NEVER does. The Rav is typically very reticent, uses few words, and does not talk about other people. Period. Shame on Sharansky. So what else is new?
5. elon

WHO CARES. THE MAN IS SICK AND BELONGS BEHIND BARS.
6. May be Sharansky too had "special"
Vardina   (02.25.10)
relations with Elon? Mordechai Eliahu does not count. He would deny the rape of his own mother inorder to protect the secret deviations of his followers. All in the name of religion.
