There’s no rabbi like Shmuley. He got close with Michael Jackson. Now he’s close with Jon Gosselin. That takes balls. Most rabbis have no interest in reaching out to celebrities to help them.
While reports emerged Friday of a breakup between Jon Gosselin and Hailey Glassman, the New York Post reports that Gosselin may formally announce it at a Manhattan synagogue Sunday. His romance consultant? Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, his new spiritual advisor.
"I have advised him to end it with Hailey," Shmuley tells the Post. "It is unacceptable to be in a relationship when he is still married and has to take care of kids who are hurting. It is not a healthy relationship."
The paper states that Gosselin, 32, will proclaim his severed ties with Glassman, 22, during a speech at the West Side Synagogue at 7pm Sunday. "Jon will either be remembered as a man who cheats on his wife and is intoxicated by fame, or a man who has fought to redeem himself," Shmuley says.
