31. remind me never to go into politics
david ,   new york   (06.24.13)
every nut in the country is going to get their 5 minutes of fame by sliming you. really, should ynet publish anything any nut says? how many people in the US say obama molested them? - i am sure many thousands. that's what happens when you are a public figure.
32. 18 Israel,First let me put the facts ...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.24.13)
straight,and then you can distort them if you wish. I said,that we can not judge the quality of apples by the rotten apples. No contradiction . Or may be, you saw your comment as mine? Even so ,there is no contradiction,since every sane person , takes rotten apples out of the bunch. Israel [a great name],don't get lost through blind hate against Haredim. Instead let us , contribute hand in hand, to make of our country a better place to live for ALL Jews,those in jeans and those in black suits. We both want the same thing,a strong Israel,which is only possible when all Jews are united and form Am Ehad.

"Chilonim are getty nuttier and more bitter by the day They have nothing to live for except for slandering haredim - their favorite pastime. Anybody believing this story falls in this category." Right, because no Haredi rov has ever committed sexual abuse. [rolls eyes]
35. #14, don't do to others, what is unpleasant to you
Jake ,   USA   (06.24.13)
If you don't like Chilonim painting all Haredim with the same dirty brush, don't do the same to the Chilonim. There are many level-headed seculars in Israel who are not filled with hate for Haredim. Only in the world of online news does it seem like there is a war between every Haredi and Chiloni in Israel. In reality, people generally get along just fine.
36. these two sound like a married couple already
i think it's ,   actually cute   (06.24.13)
37. Power corrupts
Israelit ,   Israel   (06.25.13)
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. This applies to the Rabbanut as well as it applies to all of humanity.
38. 30 Sagi: Look up in a Strong's Concordance online or at a
(06.25.13)
library or purchase one and look up the words "Nazareth" and "Melchisedec" and "Rabbi" and "priest" and look at the chapter and verse references to see that Yehoshua (called Jesus in Strong's Concordance) was and is a Rabbi and a High Priest after the order of Melchisedec, the King of Salem that the Book of Jasher and the Book of Enoch identify as Seth, a son of Adam. Also look up "King" and you will find Yehoshua was described in a parchment above his head when he was crucified that Governor Pilate wrote of him: King of the Jews (in three languages, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew). Yehoshua was known for his teachings and his healings. He wore a talit with tzit tzit and people who wanted healing who had faith to be healed touched the tzit tzit of his garment (talit) to have supernatural power from the Ruach Hakodesh infused into them for healing or wholeness. Yehoshua was the human form of the Son of God indwelt by the Holy Spirit which is God. God cannot die so the Holy Spirit had to depart from Yehoshua's human body for him to die. The Holy Spirit re-entered Yehoshua's human body for him to resurrect and live eternally and stand or sit at the Father God Yahweh's right hand. Also look up the word "Prophet" in Strong's and you will see Yehoshua (Jesus) was also a Prophet. Prophets are Priests and Rabbis, too. This is the third time I tried to answer you, so it is an abbreviated version without the verses since the YNET people who post the replies are allergic to Scriptures, it appears. That is sad for them. Rivkah
39. 38 Rivka,this is not Jewish belief.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.25.13)
Don't forget you are on a Jewish site.
40. 28 TRY 3 Thanks a lot Sagi.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.25.13)
41. 37 Rabbis can't force people to be...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.25.13)
their flocks.Hence they have not absolute power.
42. to 30 Sagi
marian ,   Romania   (06.25.13)
Yehoshua was not necessary from Nazareth (who knows it really existed in the year 0) but it was a Nazir = consacarated
43. About time chief Rabbi Metzger come out of the closet...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A./ Israel   (06.25.13)
Gays are humans and need to be respected as such. Rabbis should not be judged by a different standard. They are humans after all. Kudos to Rabbi Metzger...
44. 43 If he is gay,he is not a Rabbi.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.26.13)
Like people that eat meat are not vegetarian.
