Rambo Rabbis

The New York Post has a story about a group of Torah-toting, pistol-packing, karate-chopping rabbis that is almost too awesome for words. Fortunately, they include a Pulitizer-worthy photo (see right) and a a video which Gothamist describes as “mix of Wes Anderson, Adam Sandler, and the “Sabotage” video.” (See below the text)

The group, which calls itself the International Security Coalition of Clergy, was founded by Rabbi Gary Moscowitz, who boasts a black belt in karate, teaches martial arts and was an NYPD cop for nine years.

He’s teaching others basic and advanced fighting moves—how to take down a terrorist by the neck, how to use a table as cover from gunfire and how to execute a nifty running somersault while drawing a gun—that he says can be used by Jews if they’re attacked by terrorists during prayer.

“Jews are not like Christians,” Moscowitz said. “If I turn my cheek, I’m coming around to make a kick.”
