I'm not sure if this is newsworthy or not, but I found it via Google News.

Who is "yaak"? I'm a half-Sepharadi, half-Ashkenazi, Haredi Zionist. I hope that clears it all up. :-) I went to a Haredi elementary school, a mixed Haredi/modern high school, Haredi Yeshiva in Israel, and back to a mixed Yeshiva after that. I have a masters degree in computer science and Semicha. BA"H Mash'ala, I'm married to a wonderful wife with 6 great children. Hoping to meet each one of my readers in Yerushalayim when we are Olim LeRegel there very soon...

Yes, I'm aware of that, but the timing is noteworthy and the status of "Chief Rabbi" is noteworthy.
Not quite as newsworthy as the Gerrer Rebbe's announcement, however.
So he's chief rabbi. So?
> So he's chief rabbi. So?
So, he's the chief rabbi talking to non-Jewish journalist and putting his credibility on the line.
yaakov, you see it all and know it all; the Lords eyes and ears are you !
'So, he's the chief rabbi talking to non-Jewish journalist and putting his credibility on the line. '
Please, no one remembers this kind of talk. Besides which, I don't believe that he meant it any more than the usual mashiach talk which we've heard the past 100 years.
Vincent, thanks for the compliment, but there are much better people than me at this.
Dave, OK. I'm maskim, which is why I said it is only somewhat newsworthy. But, if Mashiah comes by Tisha B'av, believe me - many will remember "this kind of talk".
