1. Especially for me, that is what i was waiting for.
Sarah. B ,   U.S.A / Israel   (12.03.12)
2. A good idea. Nothing to fear but fear itself
observer ,   world   (12.03.12)
3. Israel -- the Start-up Country!
Jimbo ,   Austin   (12.03.12)
There are some pretty nutty people in Tel Aiv. I prophesize this guy's gonna make a nice profit!
4. This must be the photo of Rabbi Shmuel Portman Hapartzi, the
Moshe   (12.03.12)
prophet, and his children. Who else would need naked children to prophesize naked prophecies. ""Everything being studied is based on biblical principles." Xtians also believe so.
5. Are any of the students half-sane? Let's hear a prophecy
Moshe   (12.03.12)
6. Prophecy School
YS ,   Montreal, QC   (12.03.12)
There has been no prophecy since the end of the FIRST temple period. There was no prophecy during the second temple period.
7. This Must Be A Joke Right?
World Citizen ,   the world   (12.03.12)
Prophets are not trained. They are stricken by the hypocracy they see around them and a knowledge of the TRUTH. Therefore verily I say unto you. Let the people of Palestine have their own country on the West Bank and Gaza with a capitol in East Jerusalem or Israel will be brought low under the heel of world sanctions.
8. Hashem said to beware of false prophets.
Israeli 2   (12.03.12)
Every TRUE prophet will credit God for having spoken to him. "Koh amar Hashem..." etc. Will these graduates honestly be able to say: Thus spoke the Lord God saying to me...???????
9. Fraud
Steve ,   Dallas USA   (12.03.12)
Because he is charging a fee, he should be arrested for fraud. I am sure there is something in the Israeli criminal code that covers con men.
10. oh come on now
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (12.03.12)
isn't this the dumbest thing you ever read? this idiot, who is not a prophet and really has no connection to prophecy, like the rest of us, even the great rabbis of our generation, this idiot is going to teach ten selected individuals how to reach prophecy?? First he should reach prophecy and then start a school, no?
11. The best way to predict the future..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (12.03.12)
is to invent and realize it.
12. Intuitive Vision CANNOT b taught! It's a gift from G-d!
Jew ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (12.03.12)
Either one is born with Intuitive Vision (prophecy) or one isn't born with Intuitive Vision (prophecy). Or to put it in normative popular terms: Either one is born a witch or one is born a muggle! Therefore this Rabbi is just showing how much of a Charlatan he is! Teaching prophecy (intuitive vision) really now?! How silly is that!
13. OK, teach me. Once I learn to predict LOTTO winners....
I'll pay 4 courses! ,   LMAO   (12.03.12)
14. sounds like the beginning of a cult...
(12.03.12)
watch out it will end up like that Go'el guy.
15. You gotta pick a pocket or two.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (12.03.12)
16. There's a sucker born every minute
David G   (12.03.12)
17. The Jews sawed Isaiah in half. Feel the love and the wisdom!
rivka ,   paris france   (12.03.12)
18. Rabbinical Judaism is a non-prophet organisation.
rivka ,   paris france   (12.03.12)
19. How much per semester ??? ,...
split ,   US   (12.03.12)
Lots of suckers out there ;) ,...
20. Registration open: JPF School for Messiahs
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (12.03.12)
The Judean Peoples Front announces that registration has opened for the new semester at the Brian Cohen School of Messianic Leadership. This 4-year program is a Bachelor's level program proffers the Bachelor of Saviorism degree on successful graduates, making them ready to lead their people to Redemption and Kingdom Come. Graduate messiahs can take their BS and use it on the masses.
21. Position already occupied
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (12.03.12)
by Mohamed himself.
22. EVERY BUSINESS NEEDS PROPHETS
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED PROPHECY   (12.03.12)
23. School for scandal
Tambour ,   Eilat   (12.03.12)
Idol worship is forbidden, yet many a Chabadnik goes round emulating the dead rebbe in beard and hat
24. Dangerous
tek ,   Singapore   (12.03.12)
You are mistaken. This is occultic. Face reading, hand reading etc. New age filth. You are instructed by HaShem in the Torah, NOT to practice divination and sorcery. See Sefer D'varim.
25. @1 oh stop that now!
Harry Potter Fan ,   Hogwarts   (12.03.12)
we all know that you are a "squib" (See: Harry Potter series; means: non-magical child born to witch/magical parents. This is different from being a muggle. Everyone knows that muggles can be well liked and even accepted by witches. Squibs on the other hand, well, even the Weasley Family was ashamed of their Squib cousin. You remember the Squib Cousin who was an accountant!
26. Mishiganers. All Else Is Commentary.
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (12.03.12)
27. #20 LOL thanks for the laugh.
rivka ,   paris france   (12.03.12)
28. Has Purim come early?
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (12.03.12)
I will assume today is not Purim or April 1st. After ten one hour lectures -- you have a prophet's certificate? Prophecy ended long before the end of the Second Temple. Do any genuine Gedolei Yisrael support this project? I can understand that the Chofetz Chaim set up a Kollel to train Cohanim to peform the Avodah in the Third Temple, because they could be required on short notice, but will Prophets be required in Messianic times, and will they need to complete a ten hour course?
29. Child Protection Squad?
Akiva ,   NYC   (12.03.12)
Since when does an Israelite Prophet hang around with a couple of naked boys? This guy seems to be grooming minors for immoral behavior. The child protection squad needs to be notified.
30. 'I'm not a freak.' Could have fooled me! [End]
Danny ,   London England   (12.03.12)
