Is accuracy and precision so difficult? Not even one rabbi, let alone rabbis, were arrested for illegally trafficking in human organs. The story you are referring to has been exhaustively covered in the media for weeks, so I would think you wouldn’t build an entire discussion in your shul and a post on this blog around something which is an entirely fictional premise; guilt by fuzzy association?

And believe me, I’m hardly an apologist for rabbis, Haredim, Brooklynites, Zionists or anyone, really.
