31. Angry Rabbi in Emmanuel
RC ,   USA   (08.09.10)
I bet he lives in Emmanuel but he does not believe what the Old Testament says about the name Emmanuel; Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore יהוה Himself gives you a sign: Look, the maiden conceives and gives birth to a Son, and shall call His Name Immanu’ĕl1. Footnote: Ěl with us. See also Matt. 1:23. Isaiah 9:6 For a Child shall be born unto us, a Son shall be given unto us, and the rule is on His shoulder. And His Name is called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty Ěl, The Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. In the Talmud they dare to call him a bastard.
32. "no violence occurred"
Golan ,   modiin   (08.09.10)
I am not calling for violence. But if I was there I would have a strong urge to slap that idiot. I tell you, they give a Rabbi license to anyone these days. There is no Halacha against girls driving go-Karts and there is halacha against his behavior. Religious my butt!
33. MENTAL ILLNESS CAN BEFALL EVEN A RABBI.
JEWISH DOCTOR ,   NYC USA   (08.10.10)
SUPERSTITIOUS NONSENSE CAN BEFALL EVEN A RABBI. TEMPORARY INSANITY CAN BEFALL EVEN A RABBI. (HE NEEDS A MOIL TO CUT OFF 6" OFF THE GO CART EXHAUST PIPE!) Not destroy children's toys in emotional tantrums...such a BAD BAD EXAMPLE in front of the kinda!
34. No Palestinians Brian.
Eliyahu Konn ,   Dublin,OH   (08.10.10)
The repetition of the word simply cements it in the minds of people who don't know the history. They are in all likelihood indigenous Arabs from however many years back. I am glad that you get along. Maybe you could tell them how the Torah would include them too if they followed it.
35. The Rabbi is right
Truth Hertz ,   UK   (08.10.10)
Allowing girls to drive go-karts could lead to women driving cars and we wouldn't want that in Saudi Arabia.... er, I mean Israel, would we?
36. Chillul Hashem!
EGE ,   Baltimore, MD, USA   (08.10.10)
I am so glad more religious people spoke out against this, and I am adding my voice to the clamor. I just have one question for this rabbi: Isn't it worse to actually touch a non-related female than it is to countenance girls driving for fun? Disgusting - and counterproductive. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
37. oy vey
dallas, usa   (08.10.10)
what a chilul hashem - a desecration of G-d's name. it is people like this that make all jews look bad
38. Like the Arabs, you Israelis do have your nutter streak
Cameron ,   USA   (08.10.10)
39. Ha Ha!!
Justice League ,   Middle Section, USA   (08.10.10)
When its an islamic mulla, its his crazy, diabolical religion ... when its a chosen one mulla, its "he's crazy", "he's just having a bad day", "hey look, a squirrel!!" ... what a joke. Wake up chosen ones, and admit it, your religion is just as bad if not worse regarding the citizenship of women as any other religion .. and we are not even gonna get into the reality of racism and superiority complex issues ..
40. What does Gadasi know anyway about Brothels?
Mose ,   Emanuel or Immanuel   (08.11.10)
I live in Emanuel I am sorry to say and this makes me what to leave all the more. What does Gadassi know about Brothels in the first place? Never heard of one having Go Karts. He has no right to take the law into his own hands...but then again, there is no law here in Emanuel. The Police do nothing and judging from their notion that what Gadasi did was not violent then the vandalism to his car was not violent either. I think the police need to watch old Dragnet tv shows and read Dick Tracy is get some minor idea of what it is to be in the police...because they are not police, just uniformed jobniks. My old land lord who forced me out of apartment 2 years showed off his gun to me several times and when I went to the police in Ariel, they told me that he had to pull the gun and point it at me?! Gadasi is a bit of a nut case, in this shul the women wear kinda sort burqa's, the men jalabiya"s and the mehizta is a floor to ceiling structure. After reading stories like this, the Messiah is not coming anytime soon and I am re-thinking the whole notion of being religious.
41. And why was this Rabbi NOT arrested??
B'galil ,   Israel   (08.12.10)
It is incidents like this that are making Israel more like Iran every day. This Rabbi should have been arrested and charged with unlawful entry, tresspass, SOMETHING! It's completely ridiculous.
42. Isn't this the basic set-up for "Footloose?"
James Huber ,   Oakland, CA, USA   (09.16.10)
Grab a old script, cross out "dancing" and write in "go-carts", make the preacher a rabbi, find a replacing for Kevin Bacon and BOOM, hit movie.
