Rabbis call on govt to "guard" Israel's daughters
Rabbis call for restriction on foreign women entering Israel

Rabbis call on govt to "guard" Israel's daughters

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (AFP, AlArabiya.net)


Israeli rabbis want the government to reduce the number of foreign female workers entering the Jewish state because the country's male employers are being seduced by their charms, which poses a risk to Jewish women, a report said on Monday.

The plea follows an appeal lodged at a rabbinical court south of Tel Aviv by a scorned wife whose husband had an affair with a Filippina employee, said the Hebrew paper Maariv daily.

"The authorities should apply restrictions to guard the honor of Israel's daughters," wrote Rabbi Nahum Gortald, the head of the tribunal.

"It is inconceivable that a man leaves a spouse whose beauty bears the traces of time for a younger foreign employee," he said.

3. The choice is between a thin and attractive foreign woman, or a fat local one!
Thin trumps fat anytime!

5. Answer: Jewish Princess and her husband. Question?
What would you call a sexless role-playing game?

It's a bad joke from Mel Brooks "The Producers." But I had to get a Producers joke in after the "Sarah Palin the Musical" thread earlier.

8. In other words?
Does it have to be a foreign woman that a Jewish man leaves his wife for? Jewish men never leave their wives for younger Jewish women?

10. You're quite correct
Israel is not a theocracy. That's why the Rabbis' call will be ignored. You have to understand - this is what Rabbis do. They make grandiose declarations and "demands" of the government. And then everyone carries on as before.
