A 'holy man' by my definition means someone who is better than me in every imaginable way who is also an expression of God's Will in his daily behaviors.
Anyone in clerical leadership, including laity, should be an example to the community at large because, good or bad, they ARE an example to the community at large. Svigdor Nebenzahl, chief rabbi of the Old City of Jerusalem, would not have behaved as such.
I just did a quick Google on Rabbi Nebenzahl, he's uttered some "fighting words" of his own.
