(In response to former Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger being indicted on multiple, varied counts)

A Gentile likes money.

But a Jew literally loves it.

A real Jew's hands start to tremble and he actually goes weak at the knees and starts to pour with sweat at the site of envelopes thick with cash.

A cash bribe is a powerful Yetzer Hora which most Jews, even believers, cannot resist: Die greisser die bord die greysser der ganav - "The bigger the beard, the bigger the thief!" (old Yiddish expression)

If anyone knew the severity of even the secular laws of bribes, it was former Jerusalem legal-eagle lawyer Ehud Olmert, who himself is starting this month a 6 year stretch in the slammer for not being able to resist the sight of a thick envelope of cash: "The Moshiach will not come until the Jew's excessive love of money has been knocked out of him!" (Chofetz Chaim during the 1929 Great Crash)
