Real courageous Rabbi - he had me arrested for celebrating Shabbat with songs of peace - anti-Israel protestors targeted our synagogue after he spoke out at the UN - and I was like the Walmart greeter after people passed the ugliness of the protestors and the police, welcoming them to our shul.

Mr. Tough on Hamas decided to take out the fact that temple members were mad at him for bringing attention to our synagogue and his own stress of being followed, filmed along with his wife and little kids, and threatened by the protestors, on me - and he had me (the rabbi lied but no one died) and this shows why I was http://bit.ly/NotGuiltyAtTheTemple
