31. Models
Marilyn ,   USA   (03.11.10)
It is different than some hot models. Have maybe average, somewhat overweight type of people shown. Looking at it, I get immediate thoughts about my own weight. I'm at the point even though only 20 pounds over weight, that people were getting worried about me. So I'm on a diet program and doing ok with it.
32. # 24 Reuven in Tehran
Avi ,   Israel   (03.11.10)
Thanks for your intelligent assessment of someone you have never met and hopefully never will. our Torah ? Sorry dont do fairy tales i deal with reality. Confused, No quite clear thanks on that one. So keep your religion of hatred and intollerence of which you so clearly demonstarte to your self thank you. Oh you really should check out Goldy locks and the three bears while your at it.
33. Dear Chuckie,
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (03.11.10)
Humans around the world, in all societies and in all civilizations, with but minor exceptions, clothe themselves. From the fig leafs of Adam and Eve, Man always covers himself up. I suspect that even, right now, you, too, are wearing some clothing. But, you cynically, say that being nude is no problem and only "perverted people think it's perverted to pose nude". By that, you have insulted 99% of the world's population who find it objectionable for people to appear publicly in the buff. So, why don't you recommend that your daughter and wife and mother prance naked in the streets? Yes. All the women in your family should go outside stripped clean of clothing. What's wrong with that, Chuckie? Poor Chuckie. Shame on whomever taught you to use a computer and type. By the way, what is your last name? What are you hiding?
34. Classic Greece is hailed
Sagi   (03.11.10)
by all as being one of the most cultured and rich societies of history. All but Reuven Brauner that is. The Greeks believed in "Gods" who sat on a mountain top and ate ambrosia and drank nectar. Very primitive, I agree. Brauner believes in a "God" who convened with Moses on a mountain top. Just as primitive, I declare.
35. Expose naked bodies 1000 better then

dressed SHAS leaders.
36. I'm afraid Shas dislike Rubens, Leonardo...
Fine arts lover   (03.11.10)
37. immorality is th beginning of the end
ecr   (03.11.10)
38. have faith - there is no problem
tom ,   toronto, canada   (03.11.10)
nobody is being forced to pose naked, or to look at the result. so why do some politicians feel the need to display their "principles" and waste time discussing this? Torah values aren't binding on gentiles, and frum yids won't participate, so what's the real issue here? true yiddishkeit shouldn't soil itself with party politics...
39. Nudity
miri ,   israel   (03.11.10)
Hundreds of nude people standing together were photographed in Australia. What a sight - what's the point ? Let's not do this here, and for what reason. I find nothing aesthetic in such performance - artistically or otherwise. We cannot begin to compare such actions with great nude art works. What the hell is happening in our world ? I'm happy to have grown up in a different era when their were rules governing our behaviour and no 4-ltr words easily spoken.
40. Frum Yid ?
Sagi   (03.11.10)
What language is that please ?
41. No, paying for sex is prostitution
William ,   Israel   (03.11.10)
showing one's body in a form of art or of pride in G-d's work is not. Just because those who look on can't help their frail human instincts and want the world to cover up in lieu of disciplining themselves is more of a prostitution - of the mind and of G-d's word.
42. #12 - agree 110%!!
William ,   Israel   (03.11.10)
Only in regards to the gay parade in Israel. I am not against equality for all but I am against a public display of any type of lifestyle that is based mainly on sexual preference. I don't care if gays have bars and are holding hands in the street. That's ok to me but I do not want to see more than that - from anyone, gay or straight, let alone a whole parade announcing to the world what they do. I tend to wonder if the parade is more to make themselves feel better than to make the rest of the public accept them (which parades never do). I am equally appalled by the Love Parade which is just another public sex fest (but tame by Berlin standards). As for nude art - I have to disagree with you.
43. #14 - so if I visit a nude beach by myself...
William ,   Israel   (03.11.10)
I just had sex??
44. #16 - are you so myopic you can't see intent?
William ,   Israel   (03.11.10)
There is a BIGGGGGG difference between nude art by willing participants and being stripped to be humiliated before a mass slaughter. If you can't see that - you are truly blind and stuck in your own trauma.
45. #24 - Reuven - please show where nakedness is forbidden
William ,   Israel   (03.11.10)
I do not recall one verse in the Torah which states that just nakedness was forbidden. But I do recall many verses regarding sexual depravity either on its own or as a result of nakedness. When Judaism denounced the Greeks, what exactly were they denouncing? Nakedness or sexual depravity? I'll let you figure that one out. The human body itself is a beautiful work of art and each waking day we give thanks to G-d for its good functioning, and we clean it also with prayers. So why hide it away from the light as if it's an abomination because others have a weakness in their soul?
46. #32
Ram ,   London   (03.11.10)
All Reuven did was point out to you that the Torah, rather than teach you fundamentalism, stipulates a code of conduct becoming of a descent human being. In this case one cannot argue against what is the accepted norm of "descent behaviour" . You can be secular Avi but does that mean you have to be vulgar to be so? Not many will agree with you.
47. #45. Adam & Eve, after eatint the apple?
Ram ,   London   (03.11.10)
