We should be careful what we say. If he is in fact a Gadol (which at this point we don’t know if he is or not), than saying demeaning and inappropriate statement can bring tzuros to one’s self. Think if the Baba Sali was alive today (and we didn’t know of his greatness from years before), wouldn’t we think he was some kind of scam kabbalist as well? I’m not in his congregation, nor am I one of his followers nor have I ever met the man – I am, however, someone who has personally seen certain yids that have spoken badly and made fun of a Gadol (of a Sephardic decent). Within a week, these 2 yids got a nice pekalach of tzuros – “mikreh?” Only H’ knows. Please do yourselves a big favor and keep these demeaning thoughts to yourselves – we just don’t know if R’ Pinto is for real or not – time will tell!

Im mocha against the bizayoin talmudai chachomim. he is a great talmid chacham in ‘nigla’. do not make a profile on some one you don’t know! he is actualy helping hundreds of pepole “for free” and #2 he lives here in NY. and he is not an afficial ‘kabalist. so calm down all you. (btw i am not his follower and iv’e never seen him but stop all this stupid commonts that have no ‘tochen’ for the writer and for the reader. ThanQ.)

Erbp,
It’s sad you feel this way. Truly holy tzaddikim often don’t expect people who cannot afford to reach and pay beyond their means. There are those who may ask beyond reason, but not all. I hope you have opportunities to see truly giving people in action.

Has anyone asked Rav Yaakov Hillel shlita his thoughts on Rav Pinto? Would love to hear what he has to say on it…

“A visit and donation to the rabbi offers an experience Bilu termed “instant redemption,” with none of the intellectual or practical demands of the actual religion.”

Hashem Yishmor!

Give it a couple weeks you’ll see big ads informing us that He’s coming to visit the US be one can make an appointment to see him. FINE PRINT: A 5 min session will cost you no less than $10,000.
Another money making guru with nothing to deliver. We’ve been scamed by these so called kabballists too often.
