Oy! Jerry Seinfeld Must Pay $100K for Violating Sabbath

Jerry Seinfeld picComedian Jerry Seinfeld is $100,000 lighter in the wallet after a Manhattan judge ruled that he owes the money to a New York real estate broker, Tamara Cohen, who helped him find a $4 million townhouse on the Upper West Side but couldn't show it to him on the Jewish Sabbath - which Cohen strictly observes. He still took the townhouse but Cohen didn't get the expected chunk of commission - so she sued.

According to TMZ, Seinfeld was shown the townhouse in February 2005 but paid the broker "bupkes" as a commission on the deal. He claimed Cohen didn't show the apartment to him and his wife Jessica the day they wanted to see it - which was over Sabbath.

Cohen sued Seinfeld, saying that he knew she observed the Sabbath, which begins Friday at sundown, lasting until Saturday sundown.

The judge agreed, ruling Seinfeld was not the master of his domain and ordered the comic to cough up the gelt - about $100K, or about half a 5% commission of $200K on the $4 million dollar home.
