l'chaim tovim ,   galilee   (05.24.13)
beautiful beautiful beyond beautiful event. i wasn't there, but b"h these type of things are still happening. what, you don't understand this type of event? then, don't say anything, much less bash it. this article was just posted here in israel and it is shabbat in about 2 hours, so i thought i'd better post this now before the horrible comments begin over shabbat.
2. Mazal Tov! Mazal Tov!
Yosef Dov   (05.24.13)
Now THAT was a wedding bli ayin hora!
3. Ridiculous
Reuven ,   netanya   (05.24.13)
While I congratulate the boy and girl with their wedding, it is ridiculous that he would automatically become rabbi and would be the "leader"of this sect. Why treat them as kings, this is pure idolatry and has nothing to do with religion. Just a bunch of fanatics who were probably a couple of days earlier busy with burning down Jerusalem.
4. Haredi wedding
Murray ,   OIRING   (05.24.13)
OBNOXIOUS
5. Feasting with our Taxes Money...
Phoenix ,   Israel   (05.24.13)
Who gives a damn about this? I only care that these lazy idiots are making such huge feasts on our behalf with our tax money... Enough of feeding these lazy folk.

First they'll have to actually meet each other
9. He will get fat on taxpayers' money & will keep on dancing.
Michael ,   California, USA   (05.24.13)
I don't recall ever seeing a funnier picture than this two dancing gurnishts.
10. The "Victory" over the Nazis is the State of Israel
Al   (05.24.13)
That has been and will be the Jews finest moment till the end of time. The Belzers are a legend in their own minds.
11. When will the bride and groom be
jason white ,   afula,israel   (05.24.13)
inducted into the I.D.F.? We are such fools to let them stay in our Jewish land. This was not a victory over the nazis, but a victory for our enemies today.
12. weding
Apler Ernest ,   Worms, Germany   (05.24.13)
MAZAL TOV.
13. victory over nazis
DavidR ,   USA   (05.24.13)
The real victory over the nazis is the existence of the State of Israel with Yerushalayim as its Capital and living breathing Jews in the millions.

Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (05.24.13)
The wedding was NOT paid for with your tax money. The wedding was paid for by wealthy Chassidic businessmen each of whom donated thusands of dollars.
15. #5,8, 9, 11
LP ,   USA   (05.24.13)
The level of vitriol directed against two people you've never met, is deeply painful. No taxpayer money was used for this wedding. There are chareidi Jews who serve in the IDF (like my cousin). The bride and groom did meet each other before the wedding.
16. furry Khazars
hanna ,   jerusalem israel   (05.24.13)
These self-worshipping wingbats do not belong in Palestine. They should return to the Ukraine where they belong.
17. Victory over nazis
Daniel ,   Chicago USA   (05.24.13)
This is a joke what about israels creation now that is victory over nazis. The Hasidim need to give back to society by serving in either the army or national service. They need to quit all their games and do something positive.Stop rioting every time something happens and pony up. Big change is coming soon for the Hasidim and Israel will enforce it .
18. other options for 18 year olds
perent of soldiers ,   israel   (05.24.13)
1. Study for Bagrut or psychometric to prepare for a career 2. Work to help support the family 3. Do a year's voluntary work and all that before the biggie go to the army for 3 years !!! Liked the juxtaposition of the ynet including the 2009 article on modesty in weddings
19. Fantasies
Glen, R. ,   Baltimore, MD   (05.24.13)
Just a bunch of European CRACKERS in the Holy Land trying to be Jew-ish. Why couldn't these CRACKERS have done this in Europe where they come from. Time has let these fraudsters have this fantasy beyond any mental stasis and sensibility. Lying to oneself has never been healthy and this is the only job these fakes are good at.
20. I hope
marian ,   Romania   (05.24.13)
I hope God preserved her virginity till the wedding night !
21. How ignorant can you be..
david ,   USA   (05.25.13)
No matter what the Chariedi will do, you will vilify them. Its pure jealousy!! 1) Just to face the fact, and see the Chareidim celebrating! 2) 25,00 people gather to celebrate, and nobody gets drunk. 3) The fact that this wedding was paid by the Chareidim who in fact work, and have enough money to also share it! When was the last time you gave your money to any cause ??EVER !!
22. to #15 Your cousin is just one of the less
jason white ,   afula,israel   (05.25.13)
than 1% of the haradim that serve in the I.D.F. Until I came into daily contact with the hara-dim, I was proud of the 22 years I served in the I.D.F. I now realize that it was a waste of my time and so many hara-dim, leftists and others do not serve at all. We risk life,limb and liberty so they can procreate and we have to support them? Enough! Send them to Siberia and make sure they never return.
23. What a beautiful sigth.May they multiply
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (05.25.13)
and fill this land more and more.
24. #22, I am with you on Haredim, but why bash the kibbutznik?
Michael ,   California, USA   (05.25.13)
Your lumping together Leftists and Haredim doesn't make any sense. I am sure you met a lot of wonderful kibbutzniks and other great Leftist Israeli patriots in IDF. Think it over, please. And thank you very much for the long and fruitful service, mi hayal l'hayal.
25. #23, May trees fill the land more and more, green not dark.
Michael ,   California, USA   (05.25.13)
26. #21 David, right on! Jealousy on the highest level
(05.26.13)
Why do you think this was only posted several minutes before Shabbat when the wedding of 125,000 haredim (not 25,000) took place on Tuesday? So that most talkbackers will be the haredi bashers since the religious ones of course would not post on Shabbat and many not on Friday either.
27. #22 Why does Ynet even publish your
Eli ,   Jerusalem   (05.26.13)
anti semitic drivel. You are no better than the Nais that we have overcome and will always overcome hateful people like you. Are you even Jewish? Sorry the IDF thing didn't work out for you. What do you expect a medal? Don't brag about all your years in the army mate, did you not get paid? Now, go back to America.
28. #27 NOOOO! we dont want him here!
