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."

46. Shouting circumsize instead of "cut" may better.

48. How come there are 1.5 billion muslims who want to eliminate 20 million Jews?

Thats a pretty big number wanting to get rid of a comparitively small number.

Somebody must have pissed somebody off along the way.

Anyone able to explain it in a couple of paragraphs without simply saying, because:"muslims suck" or "jews suck".

Its a scarey proposition for us all---getting blown up in the middle of it .

Cant we all just get along?

50. Hey Leah: don't pay attention to anyone named "billy ray." rednecks are scum of the earth. and they wonder why our country would rather rebuild iraq instead of the gulf coast. reason being is we, as a country, have more to gain (in many ways) from spending money in their country than to rebuild a bunch of trailers, shacks and casinos. rednecks are an ungrateful breed or should i say, "in breed." As for the filthy mouthed muslim, if you were a true muslim, you wouldn't have posted your disgusting comment. allah will be very displeased. you all seem to think virgins are the sh*t. your stupid hijackers aren't screwing 79 virgins. their dead. muslims seem to be dumber than rednecks. you are actually dumb enough to believe that your so-called god rewards mass murderers with boring virgin sex. people will forever be jealous of Jews. it's okay. we understand why. we are the Chosen...and you goyim are not.

51. Father Kevin? did you attend school? did you know that "intern" and "in turn" mean two different things. silly goy. and did you know that when האשׁם said do not worship alien gods or false idols, he meant that hash smokin' hippie named jesus and the "holy father" poop paul, john and who ever else thinks they are the holy father. so father...you ought to look into monotheism. but you can't even spell or use words in the correct context so monotheism might be a stretch for you. בּארח האשׁם

52. C'mon. As long as they found a rabbi willing to bless her holy triangle, it's kosher to eat. Works for me.

53. sue...the wanna be Jew. your jealousy is shining through your incomplete sentences as well. it's so funny to see the really angry ones type. they are so mad and enraged about not being born Jewish, that it shows even in their emails!!! TO LEAH AND THE OTHER JEWS POSTING ON THIS SITE: THE GOYIM ARE HILARIOUS. THE REASON WHY THERE ARE SO FEW JEWS AND SO MANY BLACKS, HISPANICS AND MUSLIMS IS BECAUSE WE (THE JEWS) ARE TOO BUSY WORKING AND RUNNING OUR BUSINESSES WHILE THEY SIT AROUND ON WELFARE SHTUPING EACH OTHER AND MULTIPLYING!!!

54. hey perez: newsflash dumbass...the perezites were a notable Jewish tribe!!! Your a Jew without a clue!

hey rodney king: find a better cliche other than "can't we all get along" and use the name of a respectable "king" like martin luther instead of rodney "i'm innocent" king. perhaps you use cliches and alias because you are too ignorant to develop your own thoughts and too illiterate to spell your own name. perhaps you and father kevin should take beginner's English together. he can't spell and you need to learn what a run-on and an incomplete sentence is.

no seriously: wake up and get your face off of the enter button. lay off the booze while you are trying to type. you make no sense and you passed out on your keyboard or something. you are wasting valuable typing space and by being alive, you are wasting valuable oxygen that the rest of us could use.

55. sue (demandar) wants to be a Jew, sue wants to be a Jew, sue wants to be a Jew. Admit it sue...you wanna be a Jew...and you've never set one gentile foot inside of Holy Jewish Temple have you. your rage against Judaism and the Chosen Jewish People has unbalanced you. your jealousy is red and your envy is green and it shows in your moranic postings. sue the Jew, sue the Jew...it has such a lovely ring to it. at meshooga ve at metoomtam. in Hebrew that means you are insane and you are an imbecile. anytime you want to get started with your Hebrew lessons, just let me know. You could use some help with English too. and by the way, i refuse to use proper nouns of people i consider to be insane, illiterate, incompetent, impolite...which all of you non-Jews (goyim, gentiles) are. now kindly go shtup yourself.

56. sorry perezite, allow me to make a grammatical correction...you're a Jew without a clue. check out Numbers 26:20 through 22. you are descendant of Judah!!! your descendants were Hezron and Hamul. Our great prophet Moses had you counted you idiot. take a theology class you moran!!! Ha Ha Ha...perez is a Jew too!!!

57. to moran #31: nevermind...you're just too ignorant to respond to. go back to the bar Mel G.

58. Hey Jews...Don't these "good christians" have some fithly mouths? It just goes to show their inability to put up a good debate or have an intelligent conversation. they don't even know their own religious history or their individual heritage. That "pharisees" comment was almost as funny as the idea of a christian muslim or even funnier than the words, "christ, our lord and saviour." their feeble minds (metoomtam) can't grasp hold of the idea that jesus was the david koresh of his time. christian is just a new word for branch davidian. בּארח האשׁם אדונאי אחאד

59. Hey אבור עץ!
Calm down my goy hating friend, calm down...
whether they want to admit it or not, you guys are smarter and for the most part intelligent. Be cool you will not win here, nor is it worth the fight.
PS when you start correcting spelling on this site, better use your own spell checker. in post #59 the word you wanted was MORON, not Moran.
It's cool how you got the Hebrew script on you keyboard. Remember, you are arguing with people who only know how to hurl invectives and logic escapes them.
"Kosher" porn... for it or against it...focus!
(Is it true you guys "do it" with a sheet with a hole in it?)
