Google Translate and the Necessity of this Page

I noticed how whoever wrote the Hebrew version of the page just put it through Google Translate and pasted it here without proofreading it at all. My edit on 12/29/13 rectified the matter. Regarding deletion, I believe the existence of this page is crucial to the rabbi's image, because there are numerous Eliyahu Ben Chaim's, one of whom is currently in jail for money laundering. In order to prevent mixups, it is necessary for this page to exist. Thank you, -MD — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.98.153.150 (talk) 22:28, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think this IS the rabbi who was accused of money laundering. Yoninah (talk) 20:44, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is not. That Eliahu Ben Haim is from the Syrian community in Brooklyn, son of Rabbi Baruch Ben Haim. No blood relation whatsoever. This one is giving lectures on a daily basis in Yeshiva University. Please simply google the name and compare the picture on this page with the ones in the articles. They don't even spell their names the same way. The convict spells it "Eliahu Ben Haim," and this one spells it "Eliyahu Ben-Chaim."

See a Picture of the other one here.
