Rabbi Boteach in Hollywood News again

[muman613]

Rabbi Boteach is in the news again, acting as Hollywoods 'favorite' rabbi... This time he lends assistance to Jon Gosselin {I dont know who he is}... I don't know if this outreach is really good... It seems he married a Jewess and I hope that he doesn't alienate any children his Jewish wife has against Judaism...

While Jon Gosselin imitators around the globe are getting ready for Halloween, the real one says he is focusing on something else this weekend – spiritual enlightenment.

In a statement, the beleaguered father of eight says that he plans to reconnect with his "deeper, more spiritual, more altruistic self" through regular study sessions with celebrity Rabbi Shmuley Boteach.

"I am well aware that my behavior over the past few months has not always reflected my personal and religious values," Gosselin, 32, says in the statement. "I further accept that I have allowed myself to become somewhat severed from my own moral anchor and [to] be carried away by the challenges of fame."

Boteach, who bills himself as "America's Rabbi," is best known for his high-profile connection to Michael Jackson, to whom he also served as a spiritual adviser. After Jackson's death the rabbi published a book of their private conversations, The Michael Jackson Tapes. Also for sale on his Web site: a Rabbi Shmuley Bobblehead and his book, Kosher Sex.

Boteach and Gosselin reportedly met at a forum on values held at a Manhattan synagogue earlier this month. The unlikely pair have something in common: Like the former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star, Boteach is not shy about publicity and also once appeared in a TLC reality series, Shalom in the Home, in which he counseled families in crisis.

Gosselin – whose girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, 22, is Jewish – says he plans to publicly apologize "in a sacred space to those whom I have hurt" on Sunday at Manhattan's West Side Synagogue.

The planned apology caps another tumultuous week for the reality husband. On Thursday, he apologized to Glassman after she accused him of throwing "mantrums" and abusing her emotionally.

One controversy the ex-reality star says he is not courting: a role rumored series costarring Octomom Nadya Suleman.

"I do however accept that some of my previous actions have in some way lent credence to such outrageous stories," he said.

Chaim is right, he is a disgusting vile pig. I did not know the extent of what this so-called "rabbi" did prior to Chaim's post, but his public fellatio of the black Muslim pedophile Michael Jackson, combined with his pro-homosexuality warpings of Torah, qualify him as scum of the earth.

Jon and Kate Gosselin may not be as depraved as Michael Fagson, but they're still trailer-park scum.

If Boteach were for real, wouldn't he be telling Jon that he's not supposed to have a Jewish girlfriend?
