Er - even although I`m from London, a little suprised by the aggressive tone of some of these posts. Firstly of `Innocent until proven guilty, right?`. second, seems like some folks think that religious people dont have (are`nt even allowed to have) temptations or desires to do "bad things". well guess what, they do. They are human with human failings just like you. Its just that an observant Jewish lifestyle CAN OFTEN help avoid doing a lot of unhealthy things/desires (but it doesn`t destroy the desire or inclination to do them). Thats not preaching, man, that`s just showing your trying. Go ahead and mock people for trying. But you know what If you fail - you fail. Rabbis also fail (and we dont know if this one did)- but they are also human. So get a life Do your best to be a mentsch and if you fail - work on it!
