Without the beard and hair dye, this guy does have a resemblence to Brad Pitt.
Posted by: Morris the Katz | August 07, 2011 at 07:35 AM
He lookks genuinely happy. A little dingly al hatzad. Lucky guy. BTW Kotlarsky thinks he is number one plus . He lately travels everywhere with his side kick son.

Sounds like the setup for a joke: "A rabbi and Jennifer Aniston meet in an airport..."
Posted by: Yochanan Lavie | August 07, 2011 at 07:43 AM
Her upper arms are bare. How does he control his lust?
Posted by: Dr, Dave | August 07, 2011 at 08:24 AM
You think he got her to take a Tanya?
Posted by: Garnel Ironheart | August 07, 2011 at 08:44 AM
Maybe he's telling her that she's originally Jewish way back. Gelt helps, as always !
Posted by: Dave | August 07, 2011 at 09:23 AM
He's well aware of the gelt the kaballah guys sucked out of Madonna. Snaring Aniston would be quite a coup.
When I read the headline the first rabbi that came to mind was Shmuley Boteach. He must be jealous.
Posted by: JewishCynic | August 07, 2011 at 09:37 AM
"Her upper arms are bare. How does he control his lust?"
Dr!
Wow! how true, but u can also teach zchus on her: She covered her colar bone.
Who knows @ Heathrow, he could have taken her behind a Tie Rack booth instead of having to deal with controlling his lust.
Which brings to mind of how to deal with one's Yetzer.
According to the Gemore, if his Yetzer overcomes him, he dresses in black & goes where nobody knows him and do his thing.
It now becomes clearly evident that Chabad (ignoring idolatry for a minute) follow exactly what the gemore prescribe. They dress in black -from head to toe, yarmulke, hat, shoes, socks and what not- and you see them proceding to the far 4 corners of the world from quito to gayaquil to brazaville where they can do their thing and still call it a mitzve tank!
Isn't it great? That's what is called eating one's cake while keepingh it.
Posted by: Yosef ben Matitya | August 07, 2011 at 09:55 AM
boy, i forgot, the son of! that makes him a great talmid chochem -of tanya- a reciter of tehilim at twice the speed of light!
i wonder what is his territory?

Posted by: Dr, Dave | August 07, 2011 at 08:24 AM
he was stunned he thought woman did not come with upper arms
Posted by: seymour | August 07, 2011 at 09:58 AM
He thinks she's real cute.
Chabadniks don't make a fuss about women's dress or undress. They are MO in this area.
Posted by: JJJ | August 07, 2011 at 10:46 AM
I heard she is an atheist. He's wasting his time.
He must think she is hot.
Posted by: Prusta Menuval | August 07, 2011 at 10:56 AM
i bet jennifer approched him not the other way around especially sincee she is an athiest.
Posted by: jj | August 07, 2011 at 11:41 AM
seymour- his lust is suppressed when it comes to making money. money for them is even a more powerfull alure then sex lust:).
Posted by: jancsipista | August 07, 2011 at 11:45 AM
A family member of his is a huge fan. All he did was ask for an autograph.
Which the family member posted on FB
Posted by: Eli | August 07, 2011 at 12:14 PM
What I find interesting is the fact that he was able to pick her out. Which means he knows what she looks like.
Unusual for a Chabad person...

not really they are trained to sniff sources to pump money from.

Who is that girl that kotlarsky is talking to?
Posted by: Moshe MS | August 07, 2011 at 01:57 PM
From what I hear about this guy. Is that he loves being spoken about. In fact you are making him very happy about thus post. In fact He emailed it to some of his frends.
Posted by: Dov | August 07, 2011 at 02:06 PM
Who is that girl that kotlarsky is talking to?
oh! that one? she has money!
Posted by: Yosef ben Matitya | August 07, 2011 at 02:07 PM
You know what I kinda dig about the shots is that, whatever it is he said to her obviously got a charge out of her. She's genuinely smiling in one, laughing in another.
Oi those Chabadnick Rabbis--all they have to do is pour on the Brooklyn charm and the ladies just melt! Kiruv must be taught by dating experts, these days! LL Cool M?
(Ladies Luv Cool Mendy....?)
Posted by: Meowwwwww | August 07, 2011 at 02:50 PM
Maybe he told her one of those jokes he is know for
Posted by: Chezi | August 07, 2011 at 03:02 PM
I can see Gedalya s. Doing the same thing
Posted by: SHmeel | August 07, 2011 at 03:15 PM
A bunch of immature and childish comments. there is nothing wrong with these pictures. He saw her in a airport. said hi. got a laugh and someone took a picture - big thrill!
Some of these comments are being written by people with real issues - get your self checked out.
Posted by: Chaim Cohen | August 07, 2011 at 04:24 PM
WOW a bunch of certified losers commenting and just jealous of Kotalsrky who is only in his 20's and is on Trains, planes and Automobiles and getting things done.
Posted by: King of the FRUMAAAAAAA, it is not called frum | August 07, 2011 at 04:28 PM
Look at his face.. Maybe it was just a "hi" but he is a rabbi. And looking at his smile, body language and the way he is looking at her it was more then a hi.
He wanted an audgraph because she is hot. And that's that. And how does he know who she is?
Posted by: Sami | August 07, 2011 at 04:32 PM
Kotlarsky is a parasite that prospers from nepotism. End of story.
Throw him out into the real world, where he actually has to EARN something (say--respect, a living...anything!) and watch him flounder.
I hate the chabad nepotistic dynastic corruption
Posted by: Potz Melamed | August 07, 2011 at 04:34 PM
Looking at his face I see a capable and charismatic young man who knows the power of a smile and really good at networking.
Your merely speculating about what transpired over there and seemingly from the way YOU would have acted.
As for how he knew who she is - who cares but perhaps its from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHcirV6q9G0
Posted by: Chaim Cohen | August 07, 2011 at 04:39 PM
Who cares about meeting Jennifer Aniston ?
Has she just intervened in the Greek debt discussions or something ? Has she just spoken to Asma al-Akhras to work on solutions to the Syrian crisis ? She's probably a nice person but so what. There are many nice people out there.
The Rabbi demeans himself by stooping to such vacuous celebrity worship. We really need a meritocracy on the Planet not a charmocracy. Popular culture has reached its nadir. Most of what Hollywood puts out is absolute rubbish. I watched the show "Friends" once many years ago and found its ersatz, pseudo buddiness theme sad. Ditto the cynical, oh so clever "Seinfeld". Why people will live vicariously through others whilst ignoring opportunities for friendship and community with people around them is beyond me. Perhaps the Rabbi is just bathing in the reflected glory to get a happy snap so that he can boost his credentials with his peers ? Who knows how the minds of the Lubavitch leadership clique works ? Moses would have laughed at the cult of celebrity that exists in today’s world. People worship and reward the prettiest and most manipulative whilst relegating the truly righteous and meritorious to the backblocks.

Now I understand her connection to Chabad
Love the video clip
Posted by: Jay Aster | August 07, 2011 at 05:22 PM
If you go to imdb.com, she's wearing tefillin!
Posted by: Askan | August 07, 2011 at 06:22 PM
Maybe he is pulling Tropper on her, trying to get her into threeway with him and his wife Chaya Mushka (All Chabad women have Mushka in their name)
Posted by: Cha-Bad | August 07, 2011 at 07:36 PM
Wife's real name is not chaya mushka but vilde khaya mushka.
Posted by: Shmendrik von Uman | August 07, 2011 at 07:48 PM
adam neira . couldn.t say it any better. גוט געזאגט
Posted by: משה | August 07, 2011 at 08:24 PM
I don't understand how he can be enjoying that prutza's company.
Posted by: Anti | August 07, 2011 at 08:52 PM
Rabbi Kotlarsky is the single most charismatic, indispensable jew on the planet.
And if you don't believe me, ask him.
Posted by: Turd Degree | August 07, 2011 at 09:25 PM
You are all sick; and jealous; and disgusting.
Posted by: uncle sam | August 07, 2011 at 11:23 PM
and....is this some sort of scandal? Really clutching at straws here...
Posted by: miracalism | August 08, 2011 at 12:33 AM
i could see him fucking her
Posted by: shnei ohr | August 08, 2011 at 01:24 AM
shnei ohr yu are sick - SHMAYA PLEASE REMOVE SHNEI OHR'S COMMENT!!!
Posted by: Zalman | August 08, 2011 at 03:21 AM
Note pen in hand. He is getting autograph
Posted by: yudel | August 08, 2011 at 07:07 AM
this is couple weeks old already, my wife saw this on TMZ at least a couple weeks ago
Posted by: Guy From Monsey | August 08, 2011 at 09:43 AM
Zalman: that would be censorship. Besides, it's the sexiest comment on here. It gave ME a woody! (and I'm not even a dude)
Posted by: Meowwwwww | August 08, 2011 at 08:41 PM
Guy from Monsey: love that Monsey wives watch the bastion of Lashon Hora TV has to offer--TMZ!
But anyway yeah, you're right. If you go to the source you'll see it's dated around July 21. Oh well, old-news is new-news to those of us yids who don't prowl the gossip sites every Montick and Donershtick.
Posted by: Meowwwwww | August 08, 2011 at 08:44 PM
She used to do the Chabad telethon when she was on Friends, so he recognizes her from that
Last year Breslov was after her..
Maybe they were conferring about the shiduch crisis
Posted by: Michael David Kittell | August 09, 2011 at 06:28 PM
You people are disgusting and clearly the reason that the Bet Hamigdash doesnt stand. Get a life! Study Torah instead of watching porn all day and collecting tzedaka for your families pockets. You Askenazim talk alot of smack on everyone whether it be chabad, chareidi, libvitch, satmer...whatever. Funny thing is you're fat from all that chulent and shmultz and couldnt fight your way out of a wet paper bag. Some example of yiddin you are. wimps who care nothing about their own people. Your all walking chiluls.
Posted by: Avraham | August 12, 2011 at 11:57 AM
he was asking her if brad spitt would put on tephilim as this would make his day.Avraham you are showing signs of jealousy.if only you could have been in the rabbis place.
Posted by: ahad ha-am | November 05, 2011 at 12:06 PM
It is nice to see her so happy and laughing with a complete stranger. Most famous people are allergic to us normal folk
