61. #50 ORA
Michael ,   Haifa   (05.21.12)
Precisely, Ora, you are as perverse as the Rabbi himself, in defending contentions that are analogous to the contentions of Mein Kampf. Shame on you !!
62. He has a point....
Santi ,   MVD, UY   (05.21.12)
The world is indeed full of thieves, murderers and idiots, but hey.... jews are no better. They're just like the rest of us.
63. To all the world
Gady ,   Mexico   (05.21.12)
We are not reptresented by this person. I feel ashame of his words. Me, as a secular zionist jew in the diaspora, I tell everyone: this is not what judaism is about. This guy is a fringe fanatic. Someone should nicely ask him to be quiet.
64. #23 Am
David ,   USA   (05.21.12)
Am, if you would study Torah you would know that what you wrote is incorrect. Also what the Rabbi said is incorrect. There is one Torah for Bnai Israel and the same Torah for the stranger in the camp. Ruth was a stranger in the camp and she was the grand mother of King David! She was a Righteous Woman. A true Bat Sarah! I know this opinion is not popular, however, it is the Truth as written in Torah. Please do not take comfort in what you wrote because in the end, you and all others will be Judged by Torah.
65. Dismayed I am reading about ultraultraultra-simplemindedness
Yael Schlichting ,   Qiryat Motzkin   (05.21.12)
Drawing a line segment, putting the ultra-ultra-ultra-extreme-orthodox on the one end, clearly marking the one extreme, of course, my next question is: What is at the other end? Is it the godless who call themselves secular, who only pursuit of cars, houses, holiday trips.....etc? Maybe Both don't make the world a better place, while the one lost morals, the others didn't even start to search for it. Bitter! And the rest? What about the normal, godly, honest Jews? I see them turn their back on this disgusting scene leaving the tribune to the impostors, the agitators and demagogues. Double bitter!
66. #58
Maurice ,   Montreal   (05.21.12)
Hey Yosef, you have just shown you are no better than hateful scum! You religious fanatics think you are above everyone else. Yes, look in the mirror and just see that hateful religious fanatic face that you have. Good people are those who help others anyway they can, not those that have contempt for anyone that is different from themselves. You and that idiot belong to latter category.
67. From what I've read
David ,   San Francisco   (05.21.12)
I've read the OT, Gospels and Quran about 3 times each. No, I am not an atheist in the least! The Gospels, New Testament, are the most peaceful of the 3. The Quran is the 2nd most violent, and the Torah, OT, is hand down the most violent. I know many Jews and Christians here will want to argue, but Deuteronomy is far more violent and savage than anything in the Quran- by a long shot.
68. Brainless?
Roni Batzion ,   Orlando, FL USA   (05.21.12)
The USA, which has a small Jewish population compared to its other population of 314,000,000, has the largest number in the world of new inventions and patents every single year. This hardly argues for brainlessness. It's appalling to see such blatant racism coming from a Jew who is supposedly educated. The rabbi should concentrate on reading his holy books all day and leave thinking to those capable of it.
69. Again in name of tora and a god ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.21.12)
Not to heal non Jews on Shabbat , spit on girls , separate sidewalks , and so on . And all this in name of tora ! What a fool , and even if it was adressed to his pupils , it's a shame what he said . Disgusting guy , as are his followers .
70. Torah and Jews & Non Jews
Kevin John Lee ,   Glasgow/UK   (05.21.12)
Please may the dear rebbe remember that all !! mankind is born and created by the imagination of G-d and bestowed with a soul that by default contains the Torah.doesnt the Talmud also state that he who causes the face to redden,by ill chosen comments,its as if one had assaulted that person. Shalom L"atem
71. #2, #12, #16 read the article again
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (05.21.12)
This isn't news. This is a paid advertisement by the Reform movement with a clear message. Realize that whoever wrote this is trying to manipulate you.
72. Many would say
Jewish Patriot ,   Galut   (05.21.12)
Many would say that this is the reason that makes antisemitism, this kind of speeches. Not at all. Antisemitism is clearly envy and hate. BUT! this is just oil to the fire. He spoke bullshits, but he is only 1 Jew. He might find 100 other Jews, and what about gentile nations who speak the same or even worse about other nations? So I don't think it is a big deal, he spoke stupid things, and 99,999% of the Jews are not haters and do not think like him.
73. Can someone tell this relic to shut his mouth?
Abe ,   New York, USA   (05.21.12)
74. #58 yosef - the pot calling the kettle black?
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.21.12)
1. You ask others to be careful with using the words “hateful idiot”, and then you turn around and call them the same thing!? And you do it while showing hatred of both non-Jews and Jews you don’t happen to agree with. I think the word “idiot” is apropos in this case. And the idiot is you. 2. Judaism teaches that we can think for ourselves. We do not have to follow someone blindly. If we did, there would be no discussion, no disputation, no Hillel vs Shamai, no Talmud. And we are free to disgree with “the sages”. I am heartened to see that so many disagree with R. Shteinman’s comments.
75. Insane and Inflammatory
leo ,   nyc   (05.21.12)
Does the Rabbi know that some of Israel's biggest supporters are Evangelical Christians who contribute large sums to support Jews in Israel.? Please find a muzzle for this man-
76. Gives Judaism a bad name
Steve ,   U.S.   (05.21.12)
What this Rabbi says about non-Jews is terrible. Yes, we do have a special covenant with Hashem but we are supposed to be LIGHT unto the nations. Those comments will only alienate the nations. Yes, within those nations exist individuals of that caliber. However, to classify all of them as a chillul hashem for a rabbi to say and I, as a religious Jew am ashamed of his comments and do not want to be associated with them.
77. & you wonder how we clould made...
Ze'ev ,   Nbg, germany   (05.21.12)
...3rd place on the evil country list!? Statments like this are one of the reasons. *sighs sadly
78. his God is very exclusive!!
Eritrean ,   Eritrea   (05.21.12)
the only God for few number of people, i hope ther will be an international God. he sounds as if he spoke to his God and told him the words he said! Brovo religious leader, he forgot that he is inciting hate+anger that will lead to devastation!! learn some thing from your book if it has good or use good degree of binaculars!!
79. # 67 David, You can't go by what was
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (05.21.12)
written thousands of years ago,no Jew today is calling for the killing of none Jews,while muslims advocate the killing of infidels,Jews and Christians,the Torah contains a lot of violence,but also commands the Jews : you should have one law for yourself and for the stranger who lives among you,Talmud : you feed the Jewish poor and the gentile poor alike,you don't have this in Islam or Christianity,this old fool doesn't know whether its day or night,who pays attention to him ?.just the news papers.
80. #70, FIRST PRACTICE THE 2nd COMMANDMENT THEN COMMMENT
...DACON9   (05.21.12)
81. and rabbi's are brainless nut bars.
ralph   (05.21.12)
82. Torah does not tell to despise gentiles
Raphael ,   Netanya   (05.21.12)
Such a brainless bigot is a bonanza for antisemitic propaganda based on the mantra of the chosen people.
83. to #60. Dank U wel, Rabbijn ;-)
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (05.21.12)
84. More twisting Jewish law, and more food for anti-semites
Vlad   (05.21.12)
85. Brainless comment!
Sailor ,   USA   (05.21.12)
Every time a rabbi makes a brainless comment suct as this he undermines his credibility and those of other rabbis. It amazing that there a people who follow these people, without using their own critical judgment and common sense.
86. Agree Rabbi Shteinman
Isaac ,   Kingston, Canada   (05.21.12)
Sure, he could have phrased it differently but then he would not have been Rabbi Shteinman. Please, if you are a believing Jew, do you really think that the world would not be a bigger mess if it were not for us? Seriously! Yes, we are the light of the world and proud of it. Sorry if that offends anyone. And, yes, Jerusalem is the capital! Is that offensive as well?
87. 61 Michael,right, i am perverse...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.21.12)
in looking for the good inside each Jew. Included you.Although comparing the Rabbi s words with my Kampf was not much of a pearl. I have just one question. Why can t we all just get along?
88. Rabbis pronouncement
Observer ,   Thornhill, Ontario   (05.21.12)
Many people that had to deal with elderly parents will recognize the phenomenon of loss of inhibition. They can say the most weird, outrageous and embarrassing things. There is a reason why there is an age limit in many occupations and positions. Maybe the Charedim should consider retiring their elderly Rabbis rather than venerating them. Brains shrink with age, especially when physical activity is absent.
89. #87 ORA
Michael ,   Haifa   (05.21.12)
because I suspect that when you speak of "getting along", you mean "getting along" on your terms of understanding. Like the hate-filled Rabbi, you just look "for the good inside each Jew". I look for good, and also bad, in ALL human beings.
90.  They deserve no support They desecrate G-ds name
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (05.21.12)
This man is an idiot !!
