‘I am without sin. Point me in the direction of Spinka so that I may throw the first stone.’

From the Chaptzem blog comments: (JJ article)

"I am proably with sin as I view myself as a beinoni, and I don’t care since I am Jewish not a Notsri. Let me throw the first stone and the second and the third.
If the Tzibbur prefers, I could scream "Gezaila" Like they scream "Shabbos" in Israel when they throw stones. Afterwords I could collect the stones and sell them on ebay to raise money for the spinka mosdos – it sounds like they will be needing it now that the gig is up."

"As far as The Rebbe’s Shabbos experience is concerned, I wonder what the the IRS 1040 of the person who walked out of shul looks like? Is it as glatt as he implies the Rebbe’s should be? And the rest of you, if you get a speeding ticket, or parking ticket or any kind of summons, you’ve brokent he law. Does that mean you can no longer be a shaliach tzibur?"

"I would personally like to thank someone for taking a letter drafted by a concerned Baal Habayis in the Los Angeles Community and then distorting its’ very essence by dressing it with his own confused command of the English language. The drafter of this letter wrote it from his heart without the association of any passages from any testament and without the threats and viral attacks against May’s family. Had the letter been posted to Chaptzem in its’ original draft and condition, then readers could have truly appreciated the gravity of what Meyer May has done to this community and how his efforts of racketeering by commanding his Rabbis to instruct their members to refrain from eating Rabbi Teichman’s hashgochoh has now ensured the deterioration of any remaining semblance of Kashrus in Southern California. I remain baffled how some Rabbis have to throw weight around and control us while the true leaders of our generation steer us in the right direction by respectable example."

"I am very much concerned about the L.A. community. I hope that Mel Gibson or members of the Scientology group are not involved in this evil media blitz. Be careful in California."

"If every person who ever did something wrong could not be a Shaliach Tzibbur there wouldnt be anyone left to daven for the amud, so why dont you all chill out and look in the mirror first before judging other people."

"i don’t know who Rabbi may is or what he has done, but I do know from personal experience that Rabbi Teichman’s hasgacho isn’t real yy very relkiable. When I investigated going into the food business I contacted Rabbi Teichman for his list of supervised establishments. He sent me back an application fro "hasgacho by mail". He operates in LA, and we are in the North East. Maybe a real honorable Rabbi with honest hashgocho intentions and should establih a reliable hasgocho for Southern California. I hear that the KAJ has some extra Mashgichim available after april 16. I’m sure the move from Iowa to LA is shorter than back to NY."
