Rabbi Yells "Cut!" Over Porn Flick

Posted Jan 25th 2007 3:00PM by TMZ Staff

ASSRAELISThe producer of an all-Israeli porn flick is under attack from rabbis who say his use of a food-certification symbol ain't kosher.

Yesterday, Tight Fit Productions of Van Nuys, Calif., the purveyors of "Assraelis," which was shot entirely in Israel with all-local talent, and in Hebrew (with, uh, English subtitles), received a cease-and-desist order letter from a lawyer representing Rabbi Yehuda Rosenbaum of KOF-K Kosher Certification, a New Jersey company that puts its stamp of approval on Kosher goods. Tight Fit's DVD-cover claim of Israeli authenticity is accompanied by a Hebrew letter normally reserved for rabbi-ordained meats, grains, and other foodstuffs.

KOF-K's lawyer says that Tight Fit is using the symbol "illegally" in violation of State and Federal Law, and plans to sue "if the situation is not rectified as quickly as possible." Oren Cohen, the owner of Tight Fit, finds the action "funny," but will modify the cover art before the film's release next week -- to satisfy what he calls the "very nice" rabbis.

No word from Cohen, who himself does not observe the Kashrut, on whether, despite their Kosher claims, meat and milk products were mixed during the making of "Assraelis."

17. Amen, Dee Dee. Let's not forget that the Jew worship money over all else. They have even sold weapons to their Muslim enemies, that intern are used against their own people. The Lord said, " You shall have no false Gods before me". The Jews have sold out to the almighty dollar and place profit above all else. Amen.

21. I'm with "TMZ Loves Perez". I don't like Jews either. I would like TMZ to focus more on non-Jew Hollywood news and promoting Christian celebrities.

I can just picture the Jew writer of this piece hunched over his typewriter.... Gross.

23. I am a Jew and I thought the story was pretty funny. And to the poster called "TMZ loves Perez" you obviously have a problem with Jews. Let me guess... you make about $12 per hour and work in a warehouse? Probably come from a long line of poor losers who hate Jews because we work hard and instill the same values in our kids?

Anyway, this website is about the entertainment industry, right? Well, porn is part of the entertainment, right? The story was just plain funny.

24. Well I just want to see the movie. The cover looks promising.

25. Enough with the Jew bashing -- most actors in Hollywood are openly a. atheist b. agnostic or c. Mel Gibson. Even the "Jews who run the media/Hollywood/West" for the most part are inter-married or secular. So get OVER it. Jesus -- We're in 2007, all actors should be scrutinized, not just the Chrisitians. Haha.

And freaking funny story. "A Jew" hit the nail on the head. Also, Israelis are just plain sexy. Proud to be one :0)

Posted at 5:21PM on Jan 25th 2007 by Get over "Christian Hollywood"

26. Wow, enough with the Jew bashing people. TMZ is reporting on all aspects of the entertainment industry -- and face it, there ARE Jews in Hollywood. Get over you freaking discrimination.

Get over focusing on "Christian Hollygood" cuz most of Hollywood, despite their background, is either a. Agnostic b. Atheist or c. Mel Gibson. Most Jew in America to begin with are assimiliated and intermarried. GEESH, everytime a Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman story comes on you dont complain about her being Jewish.

Oh and "A Jew" hit the nail on the head. Funny story. Israelis are hot, look at Bar Rafaeli, Leo DiCaprios woman. I'm proud to be one ;-)

29. Post #16, "A Jew who is better off than you", you took the words right out of my mouth! As for all of the [rocket scientists] + Anti-Semites here, why don'y you pick up a copy of "The Bell Curve" which is a statistical compilation + scientific analysis of the level of intelligence, based on both race or religion, + guess what, big surprise, all of us "Jews" came in at the head of the class!
