31. Rabbi: Woman can't be police commander
OBSERVER ,   CANADA   (01.11.12)
I am curious to know what are the intellectual qualifications of all the individuals mocking this rabbi for his opinion. Further more the TALMUD has guided the JEWISH NATION for THOUSANDS of years to the PRESENT with CONSISTENT PRINCIPLES adapted by RABBIS to the PREVAILING issues of the day. The jurisprudence of the WESTERN WORLD is based on TALMUDIC LAW.
32. #21, gender differences
Noa   (01.11.12)
Under male rule the world saw the most horrible wars and regimes. Time for change.
33. G_d created women gentle
rita ,   Tel Aviv   (01.11.12)
dear Rabbi- and where has it taken us? Women, especially in Israel and Arab countries are chattels, second class citizens- we get to sit at the back of the bus, socalled 'men' dictate what we wear, where we walk, sit, what we say etc.. enough gentleness..... why can a woman not be a police chief? because certain men are male chavinist pigs- and the Rabbi is encourage them to be that... so the problem is not the WOMEN- it is the MEN-. When do men grow up and evolve from Neanderthals to civilized members of a democratic society?
34. If women were gentle, men would be having the babies
meghan ,   israel   (01.11.12)
and i think maybe what the rav really meant was a womans place is in the home, or at a job where she was home in time to cook, look after the kids and keep some husband in the yeshiva! Dvora was gentle....?????
35. I have a lot of respect for women, really?
robert   (01.11.12)
Does the Rav believe what he is saying? Prove it old man. Does respect mean being a baby machine? Cook, washerwoman, earner of money, bring up a dozen kids, sit at the back of the bus, walk on the other side of the street? While I the master of the universe
36. #2 and #3
Mari   (01.11.12)
congratulations- you are 100% correct- now if the weaker sex (men) could see the light, the world would be almost perfect. Why do certain men think making women look and feel weak and stupid, makes them look stronger? NOT!
37. apparently....
J.Gad ,   Israel   (01.11.12)
the Ashdod rabbi havent heard about MK Michaelli chic style hahahaha! cheers
38. #21 - What does physical strength have to do with command
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.11.12)
ability? That is something dependent on how well one can use their brain. Let's face it, women are better at many things that rely on cognitive ability.
39. To: #29 Raymond in DC
Gideon Reader   (01.11.12)
Bad Example. She is a piss poor LEO and Police adminstrator and a lousy Cop.by even the most generous standard. I speak from a Senior LEO stance with 34 plus years SUCCESSFUL LEO experience. Select one of the many female LEO professionals that are fully functioning and skilled as well as competent. There are many. DC's is not one of them. (My opinion is based onpast and present performance and overt display of political influenced incompetence).
40. #2 Haim TA you almost hit it on the head
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.12.12)
all your had to do is substitute Mullah's for Rabbi's & Arab for Jewish The only thing you left out is that Jews don't stone their women for suspected or proven adultery Sexual Urges, how very odd, I saw a film last nite about how Pakistani men are seducing, drugging, raping English girls, and renting them out to other men as sex slaves You are the one that needs help, posing as one of us, while we both know you're one of them
41. #5 Scott - Admit it, you went with
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.12.12)
a girl that was sharper than you are, I have heard of penis envy, this is the first time that I have heard of vagina envy Why did you wait six months, you should have snapped up a bargain when you saw it I'll bet you thought you were going to get the milk without buying the cow
42. Seems that the belief in the All Invisible One gives them
tom ,   tel aviv   (01.12.12)
very little faith in their self-worth as MEN, hence the constant need to put down women's standing in society. Talking about SDS (short dick syndrome): it almost equals the Arab one!
43. Golda Meir!
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (01.12.12)
You owe plenty to female leaders. We all do. Stop acting like a horses behind, and act like a proper leader. Or, maybe thats womens work?
44. Deborah the Judge
Jason, Ph.D. ,   Charlotte NC   (01.12.12)
Apparently this 'Rabbi' has never heard of the leadership of Deborah the Judge of Israel. Was she fit to lead?
45. to #6 How exactly did golda meir save
jason white ,   afula, israel   (01.12.12)
Israel? We almost lost the war Yom Kippur) due to her and dayan. They did not want to mobilize the reserves before the war. They were not happy that sharon(a reserve general and likudnik) wanted to cross the suez canal and did. Finally perhaps we should say a Jew cannot be a rabbi. Jews are supposed to be smart and many rabbis are as dumb as dirt in our time.
46. to #5 What did yyou get her for a wedding
jason white ,   afula, israel   (01.12.12)
gift? You should have told the groom how good she was in bed and how she liked threesomes.
47. to #31
kevin niles ,   zw   (01.12.12)
No it isn't. It's based on Roman law and in the the case of the England and US mostly English common law.
48. My wife has been my Commander for years
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.12.12)
She has never asked me to do anything that was detrimental to either myself or her She can,as far as I am concerned Command me with the love she has always shown until the end of days One more thing, watch some of the Police shows on TV, most of the headmen in the detective division are women & black
49. #31 TO #47
OBSERVER ,   CANADA   (01.12.12)
Where did the Romans & English get their law?
50. Observer , Canada
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.13.12)
Do you think that the tora laws are protected unther "copyright" ? that only the tora says that you may not murder , steal , etc ? Do you think that peoples who never heard about the tora allow murder ? Yes , western laws have similarities with tora's ones . But give me a PROOF that they have copied the tora .
51. #31 women can't be....
Brigitha ,   TelAviv   (01.18.12)
do you know WHY a woman can't ??? Because chauvinist old men say so, it has been like this in Christian religions (better know- finally), in Islam (worse as time goes by), Judaism (Israel would be great if it was not for religious conservative nuts). There are very few things a woman cannot do- and unlike men who can only DO ONE THING at a time, woman have learned over thousands of years to do and cope with several things at the same time. So don't give me that sh... about woman being made only to bear children and wash diry socks. It is time to come out from under a rock. Spitting on women, force them to the other side of the street, make them sit at the back of the bus- and that is just for starters.... IF a woman wants to be police chief and is willing to cope with a bunch of men- then let her. It is NOT the Rabbis business- his business is to pray - .
