LeBron Does...Rabbi Pinto

You just never know when, who and how someone is going to talk to a Rabbi.

LeBron James and Rabbi Pinto.

Here:-

TMZ has obtained this exclusive photo of LeBron James in a business meeting earlier today with Rabbi Yishayahu Yosef Pinto ... a man known around New York as the "Rabbi to the Business Stars."

Sources involved with the meeting tell us LeBron had hired Rabbi Pinto for spiritual guidance for a "big merchandising meeting" that took place on a private yacht somewhere off the coast of NY just hours ago.

Rabbi Pinto -- a 37 year-old-man who speaks only Hebrew -- has met with all sorts of business moguls in the past ... and is considered by some to be a "spiritual guide" who consults on business matters.

We're told LeBron paid in the neighborhood of 6-figures to get Rabbi Pinto to sit in on today's meeting ... in which LeBron heard presentations from several "big time" retail execs.


Did someone hear the Messiah's footsteps?

Yisrael:
He is he grandson of the Baba Sali (Rabbi Pinto is, not LeBron).

But I am skeptical of this whole thing. Interesting, though!

It is refreshing to hear news about Mekubbalim and Rebbes, especially when they are the "real deal". Besides HaRav Pinto, current "real deal" Mekubbalim include his cousin, "Rabi David" Abuchatzeira, in Nahariya; Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Morgenstern in Yerushalayim, to name a couple. People flock to them for advice, with amazing results (I have heard first-hand stories...). G-d gives knowledge and abilities to these people that most of us do not have. They see farther than the rest of us. Ashreinu.

That is not right - Rabbi Pinto never got a dime in this meeting, I personally spoke with Rabbi Pinto right after this meeting.

Thanks

Shlomo P. I spoke to Pinto after and you are right, he didnt get a dime, he got $200,000 of them. What does Pinto do with all his millions anyway ? Nice $8 Million villa in Ashdod and $30 Million building in NYC. What does he do anyway (and can he give me tomorrow lotto numbers while he's at it ?)

Rabbi Pinto of Shuva Israel - What do you do other than have a $30 Million building in NY and $7 Million villa in Ashdod ? $10K custom suits, and your 11 year old son wears a $25K rolex. This is a holy Rabbi ? Last I heard, he predicted sales in department stores on December 26th, and major parties all over the world on December 31 @ nite. If he's right, then give him all your money. If not, PINTO IS A FRAUD

Amazing have you been following Rabbi Pinto: His wife owns a $1Million apartment with a pornographer who runs Pinto organization Shuva Israel. Rabbi Pinto seems to be a scam: $60 Million raised annually and only 3 employees. Rabbi Pinto has been doing interviews and seems to have no answers unbelievable. Terrible activity for a Rabbi. Awful.

Rabbi Pinto appears to be yet another person pretending to be religious but in fact is a simple sham artist. It is awful that he steals from his own people in this manner. He apparently places "death curses" on people if they dont give to him. Scary stuff.
Read all of the media about him - The Real Deal, Haaretz, The Forward and many other papers - This guy is going to end up in jail soon.
