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."

33. "This is similar to what Jesus said to the religious leaders - the Pharisees - of His day." " I'm with "TMZ Loves Perez". I don't like Jews either."

Wow, enough with the Jew bashing! And, you dumbass, Pharisees were pre-Jesus, against the corruption of the Temple high priests, or the Sagicees, who were incorporrating Hellinism in. If your going to talk down, get your freaking history right

And yes, there are a lot of Jews in Hollywood. Move on. Don't see the anti-Semitism coming out when there's gossip coming out about Scarlett Johansson, Bar Rafaeli, or Natalie Portman. And the Jewish Israelis making this porn are OBVIOUSLY secular. Are you? Most American Jews for that matter are assimilated and consider themselves American before Jewish. Would you rather we wear a freaking crown of thorns so you can stay away from us?

To top it off, most people in Hollywood, despite their background, tend to be a. Agnostic b. Atheist, or c. Mel Gibson.

36. To the poster called "Bay of Pigs"... what do you mean all I am doing is proving the stereotype? Which steretype are you referring to? I simply pointed out something that I have learned over the years: Those who talk non-stop trash about Jews are usually jealous of our realtive success economically (and guess what.. you can be a success without being greedy!). It's called hardwork and determination.

Come on, Jew bashers... is that the best you got? How about an argument with some weight in it? All you can do is sling stupid little comments. It just shows that you are either children, uneducated, or both.

37. Leah #11 is right...they f***, suck and let you grease up their "stinky starfish."
How do you know when your Jewish girlfriend has had an orgasm?
She drops her cellphone!

38. A story about CHRISTIANS in Hollywood...you mean a short story!

Posted at 6:42PM on Jan 25th 2007 by Move along people...nothing of intrest here!

39. Jews think they are better than everyone! Doesn't matter who your are. I've told this before in another thread. I had a very good Jewish friend, actually my best friend ,who couldn't date anyone that wasn't "JEWISH" . She was absolutely miserable. She would have these crazy screaming fights with her parents all the time through high school. It was insane. If you weren't Jewish you weren't good enough. PERIOD! Turns my stomach when i think on it.

43. thanks for being a sport...

Well?

Posted at 7:03PM on Jan 25th 2007 by No, seriously...

44. Hey "Sue".... you said you had a friend who was Jewish that could only date other Jews. First of all, the same can be said of ANY race! That is, you are always going to find people who don't want their kids mixing with others. Second, after reading the ignorant ramblings on this website, can you blame the parents? ;)

Anyway, so you knew one Jew.. that doesn't make you an expert!

I personally don't care what race my son comes home with as long as they have a good head on their shoulders.
