2. Maybe there's a home for these bearded bozos in the C Church

3. Wrong conclusions
Adrian Weiszman ,   Montevideo, Uruguay   (06.03.19)
Dear Hen, I live in Uruguay, I´m part of a Jewish community, we are doing Aliya right now. i spend most my time in Israel in places you define as religious Zionist (Zionist of course, religious has no meaning in hebrew). Many Rabis are friends of mine, most of the were shlijim here and I continued relationship there. All of us have instincts, and our main job is to control them and canalize this great energy in good thing for the others. Rabbis are the same as other, and like other there are some of them that have problems to control their instincts. In any way you can suggest rules as you suggested. It´s nothing to do to what happens to priests where they have sex forbidden. Those case are terrible, but what is the rate? is different to other persons in other groups, here you talked about 3 in a total of how many thousands of Rabbis. Its so non sense like if you conclude that bearded mens are used to abuse of people or any other conclusions. As I see you are using this cases to show your dislike for shomer mitzvot people, probably for not having let you to understand derej hashem. Also when you talk about some special like Shmuel Eliahu, who I met him here, you need to understand that everybody has to take care and investigate before taking conclusions, as you are talking about lifes an families in both cases, victims and victimizers. i won´t change your mind but please be honest to make conclusions as fast readers can take them.

CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (06.03.19)
' a standing penis has no conscience.....'
5. EXCUSE ME ?
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (06.03.19)
Please do not besmirch and defame an entire community, in this case the " ultra-orthodox " because of one fellow who failed to control his most base desires .
6. And you thought I was rude ??

7. NEWSFLASH: RABBIS ARE ALSO HUMAN
URBAN RABBI ,   SAFED HONESTY   (06.03.19)
Having said that ,Rabbis also have an obligation to behave properly ,with respect and decency.
8. My darling I hope God will forgive you
moi   (06.04.19)
Because I don't, for inflicting on us frozen kosher meat at four times the price of regular meat in supermarkets. This meat you force me to buy is anything but kosher. It is supervised by the most despicable dishonest bunch of so called rabbis, willing to sell their soul and kashrut certificates to the highest bidder.
9. Why shouldn't they?
(06.04.19)
It's taken for granted that they're above God in wresting ancient Halakha from His Hands by perverting it with their hands.
10. Under Smotrich these guys would be stoned!

11. Punishment: Cadena Perpetua = Life in Prison...
(06.04.19)
but the Spanish is much stronger "Cadena Perpetua" means "Eternal Chain"
L'man Yere u'Yerau (see and fear) to make an example of him. Put him in prison in solitary confinement for the rest of his life. NO FURLOUGHS!
He should be treated as a complete pariah because that is what he is.
He should be in solitary confinement.
He should have no books, no bed, no comforts at all.
He should only be fed and receive regular medical attention AND
No one should speak to him for the rest of his natural life.

A Rabbi ,a catholic priest and an Archbishop walked into a bar.The bartender asked: " is this some kind of a joke ?? . "
14. a Rabbi once told me
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (06.04.19)
A Rabbi once told me that each time he sneezed he became sexually aroused. I asked him if he was taking anything for this and he replied : " Pepper ."

moishe   (06.04.19)
the problem with those that practice extreme religion is that they want to impose their norms on others who may not agree. people have the right to be meshuggah but do not have the right to bother others. too much of religions are human interpretations of what a god commands. atheism does not have that problem.
16. Handful of rabbis out of 10000s could be stormfront article

17. Control with benefits
Roxanne ,   Haifa   (06.08.19)
it's not just about control over the victims. it's largely about busting a nut.
18. By definition, ALL Orthodox rabbis think their rabbinic...
(06.10.19)
pseudo-"halacha" supersedes Bible, whenever they decide
19. A doctor can lose his license, rabbi's ordination revoked.
David ,   Hartford USA   (06.11.19)
A physician convicted of malpractice will lose his medical license, possibly for life. A rabbi convicted of such despicable crimes, preying on the women who come to him for help, should have his ordination revoked for life and his name put on the national list of sex-offenders. He must be stripped of any and all official duties if he's employed at a yeshiva. He can remain the janitor, but have no official duties at all.

This is the absolute minimum of what must be done.

In The Scarlet Letter, the woman is forced to wear a large "A" as a badge of shame. This rabbi should be made to wear the same letter "A"- but it will stand for 'Abuser.' Abuser of his authority and an abuser of people.

If he has a government pension that was based on his position, it should be reduced to the lowest level possible.

DAVZEE ,   atlanta   (06.12.19)
