In his first reaction to the verdict against him handed down Tuesday morning in the Jerusalem Courts, Rabbi Elon offered his thanks to God for everything bestowed upon him.

He also thanked his family and attorney, and asked his supporters to refrain from attacking those who spoke against him.

Attorney Ohayon, who defended the rabbi, expressed disappointment at the judge's decision, but added that this is only the first stage of the battle. "We were surprised" , he said, "at the verdict, which was contrary to all expectations, and will, please G-d, not be the end of the story."
