A FATHER OF A SEXUALLY ABUSED CHILD PLEADS TO THE RABBINICAL ESTABLISHMENT TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN!

A FATHER'S PLEA FOR HELP.

At the outset, please forgive me for making the assumption that I have something meaningful to offer the survivors of sexual abuse, which I am not, or to the chachomim of this city, also which I am not. I am not an accredited professional. I am however, a father of an innocent child to whom these acts have been committed and, as such, I feel I may have a relevant contribution.

I have learned to see victims of abuse as people that have gone through an individual holocaust. Each victim having been through an event or chain of events that has forever changed not only the victim, but also reaches out to affect families, relatives, schools, communities ,and even into the next generation. The price we pay has nothing to do with the thousands of dollars spent in therapy for so many different issues both related to the assault(s) and their outgrowth (family disunity, Yidden off the derech, drug abuse, promiscuity, and poor school performance), but the toll it is taking on Klal Yisroel's future.

We must choose to understand the nature and scope of the dilemma and plan a clear path forward. As in all matters of Torah, the motivation must be the search for emes. Those who seek to accuse, blame, seek their pound of flesh, desire kavod or satisfy gaivah need not, no-must not be a part of the problem solving and the development of relevant answers for the needs of our community.

We must admit to ourselves what currently exists in our community in order to appropriately respond to those who perpetrate abuse and those who have suffered from it, as up until now the response has been inadequate and inappropriate.

I believe we must understand what the abuse is and is not. Sexual abuse is not an act of inappropriate or misplaced sexual desire. It is an act perpetrated by one in need to control and overpower another individual. Many times this is accomplished by manipulation and at other times by brute strength. Ultimately the result is the same. The victim is left feeling totally powerless in their world, afraid and intimidated by the prospect of a recurrence, guilt ridden, and feeling totally alone while being unable to share what has happened to them with those who care and love them.

It is a criminal act and not one between consenting individuals, even if somehow the perpetrator has manipulated the victim into thinking that the act was desired by the victim. It is the debasing of another human being to satisfy the lust for power and control ;it expresses itself as a sexual act. It robs innocence, it robs self esteem, it robs confidence, it robs one of closeness to G-d, it robs one of families, it robs ones ability to express love and intimacy in appropriate ways, it robs youth, it clouds judgment, it is spiritually, physically, and emotionally painful. It is extremely rare to find a perpetrator that acts only once. It is extremely rare to find a person who has been victimized who is not aware every day of their life of the continuing effects the abuse has had.

Who are the perpetrators? They are almost always males. When this is perpetrated by individuals outside of our community, we try to understand and make it understood that within the world at large, unfortunately, there are goyim such as these. It isn't easy, but the door is left open to understand the events within a Torah context, utilizing daas Torah to help us understand the machla and refuah. The most pressing issue we must cope with is what happens if the perpetrator is from within our own community? Brothers, fathers, cousins, uncles, friends, rabbeim, baalei battim, people we know and would otherwise respect, yeshiva trained or poshuta Yidden. Neighbors, business associates, baalei tsedakah, black hat or kipah srugah. They are here. They who have committed these atrocities are among us.

What are we to say to our beloved when the trust instilled in us of our own community is violated? So many have been robbed of the single most important asset we can use to interpret and understand and reach out to those in need of help.

Many of the accused seem to be protected, their crime hidden from public awareness. Some leave town, only to perpetrate again within another community. There is denial on the part of many that those accused are guilty. When the victim is a child or the accusation comes years after the crime, the testimony is often suspect. Often times, we can only reach the conclusion that there was a victim, something happened, but the details become an issue of debate due to an inability to substantiate the facts.

We must decide how to handle the confirmed perpetrator. It is important to remember that a crime has been committed by a person with a sickness. If I was prone to seizures and drove a car and damaged someone, G-d forbid, I would not expect my rov to get me out of the legal obligations I would have, nor would I expect him to remain quiet if I wanted to transport children in my car at a later time. It would be expected that I would notify people that I was unable to do certain things due to my condition and I would be expected not to put myself in another situation where the safety and well being of another person would be compromised. A person with a cancer can only hope that with G-ds help, he will live his 120 years in remission, but with the realization that once discovered, the disease is forever at risk of re-emerging.

We must come to terms with those who carry within themselves the depths of understanding and knowledge of Torah, yet, have turned their bodies from holy vessels to impure receptacles by an action(s) that seems to refute their outward appearance of being yiray Shomayim. Just as Moshe Rabeinu was not reprimanded for breaking the luchos instead of bringing them into the midst of the unfit Bnai Yisroel at the time of the golden calf, it is understandable to feel that the perpetrators are not worthy of the gifts of Torah they hold and the kavod due them as holy vessels. However, today we lack the Leviim ;those tzadikim who are so pure that they are worthy and able to rid us of the unholy and tainted.

Perpetrators must come clean. They must first admit to themselves, then to their victims and the community at large, what they have done. This is always the first step. It must be public because the victim must have the validation that they were victimized. They have been abused and too often feel responsible and ashamed. When the abuser confesses, enough of the victims self doubt can be removed to allow the door to recovery to begin. We can deal honestly with the abuser and not allow him to be in situations that may cause him to stumble. We can watch, counsel, teach, and guide a person who understands and accepts his failings. We can take this Yid's shortcoming and use them to enhance our community. How many times has the government taken ex-criminals and put them to work preventing the same criminal behavior in others? They speak, they teach, they make aware. They have insight we lack. This is how they can do tshuva. Of course they may NEVER be around children again!

Who are the victims? They are our children, siblings, parents, extended families, friends, neighbors, our kehilas, and our community. We all suffer. The energy expended in the fallout of the effects of abuse is without end. Victims often suffer in silence for years due to fear, shame, and/or guilt. They may repress their horror or be emotionally unable to confront their reality, doubting their own credibility. This is a personal holocaust. Who is going to believe such a thing could happen? How is anyone else going to understand the pain?

The victims often feel it is easier to live in pain than to be forthcoming and be written off as a crank, a liar, a crazy person. Their pain and suffering exhibits itself in ways seemingly unrelated to the abuse. Many become problems academically and behaviorally at school. Their interactions with loved ones may deteriorate. They may not trust. Not just strangers, but even those closest to them. They may carry and exhibit irrational anger. They feel betrayed by their loved ones and others who have the responsibility and obligation to protect them from harm. We often lose them as b'nai mitzvas. We often lose them as members of our families and communities. We lose them to drugs and promiscuity. We may even lose them to be perpetrators themselves, having learned from the criminal behavior of their abuser how, through a warped and sickened perspective, to gain some control into their own out of control lives. The cycle continues. We all suffer.

We must feel it is as much an obligation to educate, inform and warn our children parents, neighbors, and congregations of the threats to our physical and spiritual safety as it is for all other types of criminal activity, whether Torah based or secular statutes.

We understand from Shlomo Hamelech that there is nothing new under the sun. It is our obligation to delve into Torah and find ways to help. The answers are there. We must find the needed refuah for the victims, the perpetrators, and our community. We must not give up on nor lose those we love and those who need our love.

The Agudah's response to the allegations of sexual abuse in their summer camp is way too little and too late. Where were you for forty agonizing years? We, who believe in the Divine involvement in every single act that occurs on Earth and all the galaxies, have to believe that the fire that destroyed the main building at Camp Agudah, the exact day that the Agudah's pathetic counter to the New York Magazine article on sexual abuse among the Orthodox Jewish community was published, was Hashem saying to Klal Yisroel "enough is enough."

May we all be zoche to be closer to Hashem through our efforts.


MONDROWITZ ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!

Has anyone contacted you as being a victim of Avrohom Mondrowitz?
I am a victim of his who only came forward as a result of the NY Mag article.
I've been in touch with an Attorney, went to the Brooklyn DA's office to formally file a criminal complaint,
and through my Attorney have been in touch with & given interviews to multiple Press outlets while
maintaining my anonynimity. The reporters are digging for the cause of DA's office quietly dropping the case,
and stories will be appearing shortly.

I believe that there is renewed interest in this case & pressure will be applied to the DA's office
to bring him back. I firmly believe that someone or some group from the "frum" Orthodox community pressured
the DA's office to drop the case. I am trying to find out if other victims have also recently come forward so that we can
pool our resources & pressure the DA's office.

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Why can’t Agudah hire a spokesperson who writes like this?

Heart rending.

To the poster of this article: I pray that your child has a Refuah Shleima in all aspects.

To The Agudah, Torah Umersorah, and all organizations that have worked diligently to cover up and protect these pedophiles:

You have Jewish Blood on your hands.
A public recognition and Apology would be a good start. A concerted effort to get meaningful legislation with teeth passed by the NYS Legislature; sex regisrty, fingerprinting, DNA on file, would be better.

This is your Tikkun. Anything less and you should cease as an organization.

To understand the mindset of those involved with the case of Rabbi Yehuda Kolko, and some of the other case in the orthodox world, please watched the Bryks video (see link below). It's a download and you need a dvd player to watch.

The Awareness Center is providing the documentary "Unorthodox Conduct" in the memory of Daniel Levin.

Our hopes is that it will be used as a way to educate the public on the devistating ramifications a case can have on an individual, family and in Jewish communities around the world. It's important to know what happens when a case of "alleged" childhood sexual abuse in the Jewish community is not dealt with properly from the beginning (bringing the case to law enforcement who is trained and educated in dealing with these cases).

Our hopes is that after you view this documentary that you will go to your rabbis and other community leaders and demand that there be changes made when a child makes allegations they were sexually abused/assaulted. We cannot afford for there to be anymore cover-ups when there are allegations that a child has been molested. We cannot afford to let one more child die. Our hopes is that not one more child will feel so desperate that they will take their own lives, as Daniel Levin did.

Please note: The Investigative documentary: "Unorthodox Conduct"contains graphic information regarding the case against Rabbi Ephriam Bryks. It was produced in 1994 by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

The Eglah Arufah, the baalei musser explain, is to be mechaper on retzicha, even though the gedolei hair did not send the murdering bandits. Why is that? Because the traveler was not given a warm farewell, he lacked a measure of self-esteem and confidence, that may have enabled him to muster enough strength to fight off the killer(s).

Me chapt zich a tressel when I think about what officials of the aforementioned organizations are going to have to answer for in allowing rotzchim of Yiddishe kinder to operate for decades with impunity.

I did indeed watch the CBC documentary on Bryks a few months ago. Painful, emotional beyond words.

"Who are the perpetrators? They are almost always males."

This statement is not completely accurate. Please feel free to download The Awareness Center's brochure for more statistics.

About 60% of male survivors sampled, report at least one of their perpetrators to be female (Mendel, 1993).

Regarding Colmer, is that R' Yosef Rosenbloom from Shaarei Yosher you are talking about? And what is the problem with Bursztyn who owns the Capitol Hotel?

I want to make sure everyone is aware of an organization that is dedicated to male survivors of sexual violence. "Male Survivor" is dedicated to helping male survivors (boys and men) heal from their victimization. "Male Survivor" is a secular organization, yet they have excellent information on their site.

I think it's vitally important for everyone to read "Myths About Male Sexual Victimization".

I don't know who you are referring to as far as R' Lazer's family. His wife nebich didn't have kids although he did adopt some.

I think that Privalsky is a big macher in that shul but don't expect him to listen to anybody. He's a about as receptive as a cold fish pulled out of Sheepshead Bay the day before. Privalsky owns a travel agency in a shutfus with Friedler.

The mere fact that he hides out in other shul and yeshivas because people are always looking for his help .
This initself is the proof in the pudding that he is only out for his kanuoos and thugery and should be shut down along with all the other ketanim / gedolim and thugs.
If anyone know where he hides please let us know and his phone numbers , even if his gabbai picks up thats fine too for starters.

An illegal minyan in Lakewood means any shacharis outside of BMG that is later than 7:45 am and/or not approved by the roshei yeshiva.

Any mincha/maariv in the dorm except when R' Malkiel let Goldfisher learn in his room. (long story)

Any chassidishe minyan on Shabbos. That is until the yeshiva started up with Gur and got half of Boro Park riled up. The yeshiva backed down after R' Elya Fisher called and demanded an explanation.

How can we reach out to ALL victims in ALL yeshivas, so we can find out what is really going on, help the victims, expose the molesters, and change the system once and for all?

Why do I get the feeling that the Yated Neeman, and Hamodia, which have abused their privileges by failing to serve the public's interest, are not going to run an ad for us asking victims to please come forward.

Unless we protest the Aguda strong enough that they get the rabbis to change and to put the ad in for us. When the rabbis finally agree to apologize to the vicims, it should be in public so that we can all here the sincerity, or lack thereof. But I guess so far nobody has had the guts to say anything.

Orthorev-

I think you give Shafran and Agudah too much credit.

They would probably try to discredit the father of the victim because he posted on UOJ so that makes him an Apikorus and they don't care what happens to his son.

The fact that there are many others who are yorei shamayim and have suffered the exact same thing, and have NOT posted on UOJ, doesn't matter, because they don't care about them either.

Don't you realize that Aguda's stance is that this whole problem was made up by the goyish media to discredit Orthodox Jews?

I don't know if frum is a mental disorder, but some of the people in charge sure have some kind of emtional problems.

It serves Fishkovitz right that he was shut down. All those fressers gulping down kishke and chulent without a percentage going to kiruv for the Russians.

Same thing when Mickey Rottenberg's was made offbounds for first seder. It was a Purim shpiel with cake and coffee.

Rav Solomon got involved in one case but only one semi-guilty shlemazal was dealt with while the real molester got away with it. Rav Solomon also visits prison cells when people with the last name of Pinter get locked up.

A website to deal with issues in the frum community is commendable. However, this particular website is both a "moshav leitzim" and irresponsible for the following reasons.

1) The majority of comments are unacceptable and should be screened out by a mature moderator.

2)Using personal attacks and silly name calling (e.g., putz, fresser) do little to give this site credibility.

3) Engaging Kolker to write an article does more damage to the cause of dealing with molestation in the frum community. When you engage a secular paper, they will try to sensationalize it and make it (inaccurately) to a broader catholic priest problem. This was a major major mistake to involve them.

IF this website would stick to the real issues of molestation instead of engaging in "juicy" gossip and anonymous bashing of anyone who they dont agre with, it might have a reputation of being something other than its current "moshav leitzim" status and a place for bitter and frustrated Flatbush people to hang out.

I live in the same neighborhood as YTT and heard on Shabbos about the matter which you have written about. I am very saddened to hear about it and hope that the matter can be resolved. Several years ago, I had heard of a pedophile in the neighborhood and am aware of his being ostracized to some degree.

I have spent the past five years at a so-called Bes Din in Brooklyn trying to get justice in a horrible and shocking matter. Sadly, there was no machlokess, none. It could have taken five minutes, but for the corruption of the so-called Bes Din.


After a stupendous amount of work, that could have amounted to several thousand phone calls, letters, hearings, visits, etc. I finally got a Psak from that Bes Din (the first one, I accidentally used as toilet paper). Then, recently, I was called by the Rav of the Bes Din urging me to settle the matter without getting justice. I firmly rejected his offer and advised him of what I have gone through.

These people have no concept of justice, truth, humanity, Torah, Mitzvos, Shulchan Aruch, Mishne Brura, etc. I for one, bli neder, never intend to see the inside of a Bes Din for anything or any purpose. I believe that unless the institution is totally reformed and that rabbis are trained in due process and that there is a procedure for appeal. I will take my chances in Sdom, where I have a shot at honesty and truth.

Yes, I did whatever I could to avoid a Chilul HaShem. I realize that the religious community b'chlal, does not believe in G-d, Torah, justice or truth. If one wants truth, try enrolling a kid in Torah Temimah. One will quickly get the truth, about $5000 to enroll a child therein. That is the truth. In short, the religious community is largely about money. Gelt. That is the Torah, that is the mitzvos. Perhaps there are exceptions.

I am sad to write this.

Regarding Aaron Twersky, I did not attend the evening at YTT.

Having slight contact with so-called religious lawyers, I do know some, who are honest. I realize that is an oxymoron.

I PERSONALLY NEVER HAD ANY PROBS WITH THAT ASPECT BUT EVEN THEN THERE WERE RUMORS GOING AROUND ABOUT HIM. I HEARD FROM AN INSIDE SOURCE THAT MARGO TOLD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL RABBIS THAT HE CANT PROMISE THEM JOBS FOR NEXT YEAR. WE SHOULD BE AWEARE THAT ALL THE BUILDINGS ARE IN MARGOS NAME AND HE COULD SELL THEM AT ANY TIME. ITS OUR CHARITY MONEY !!

The CBC documentary on Bryks needs to be required viewing by the Novominsker, Zwiebel, Bloom, Gertzulin, every staff member of the Agudah, and every big gelt donator of the Agudah; Fishoff, Scharf, et al.

Pick any day of the week, during the lunch hour, in the Agudah offices. Instead of Schiffenbauer's Daily Daf Yomi Shiur, show this CBC video documentary on Bryks. It is Hatzolos Nefoshos for the Klal and of the Klal.
If after this viewing there is still a dry eye and unbending cold heart amongst the Agudah hanhala and they do not do a 180 and advocate for strong legislation to protect our children, the doubters and deniers amongst you will know the sad truth about our "leaders".

3) Engaging Kolker to write an article does more damage to the cause of dealing with molestation in the frum community. When you engage a secular paper, they will try to sensationalize it and make it (inaccurately) to a broader catholic priest problem. This was a major major mistake to involve them.
===================================Mr Anon.
You are upset that this issue was taken to the Secular media and That the kolker article made molestation a worse problem.
Well then, why dont you tell us what you woyuld have done and which frum news paper would you have used to spill this problem to the frum oilam?

Tell us of one frum newspaper that was willing to address and spill the beans about YTT.
Before you start knocking what was dont you must offer your own legitimate solution which would be apparent that you have none.

Sadly, your naivete, probably encouraged by your yeshiva education and membership in a brooklyn shul, is extremely dangerous.

No amount of web discussion of the problem, even without name calling and "unacceptable" comments, would have stopped margolis or kolko.

How many more innocent Jewish children have to suffer before people like you are ready to get with the program?

As a victim of molestation in a mainstream yeshiva, there was NOBODY else who would help us, except UOJ. Now that he went to Kolker, something is being done about it in many yeshivas, including the one that I went to, where the molester is still a rebbi (not much longer) to this day. I waited 22 years for this, and it is only because of UOJ that it is finally happening.

How dare you stupidly criticize and offer no realistic alternative!

Is the Wilner of Torah Temimah the one who owns Achim? Why is he a problem?
This is a letter sent out to the parents of Achim.

Camp Achim


Dear Parents:

We respectfully take the liberty of communicating with you about an extremely important issue that deserves your personal consideration as we get ready for what will b‘ezrac Hashem be a wonderful camp season.
Over the years, The Association of Jewish Camp Operators (AJCO), which serves as an umbrella group for Orthodox Jewish summer camps, has issued guidelines and suggestions at the request of our Gedolei Rabbonim and Roshei Yeshiva on a number of issues, such as the Safe Driving Guidelines in the Mountains.
In response to inquiries from a number of camps, the Moetzes Gedolel flaTorah of Agudath Israel of America recently discussed the sensitive topic of protecting the privacy and bodily integrity of our children. Among other things, they encouraged the summer camps to take posihve steps to help avoid any potential problems — including enlisting parents to discuss this subject with their children before sending them off to camp. They further requested that AJCO prepare a document guiding parents on how to advise their children to respond in the event their bodily privacy has been threatened or chac v'sha1om violated.
Accordingly, we are enclosing a “Keep it Safe” fact sheet that has been prepared by AJCO in conjunction with the experts at OHEL Children’s Home and Family Services. We respectfully urge you té speak to your child or children and convey to them the important points outlined In the enclosed document.
As a member of AJCO, and understanding the importance of this issue, we are committed to taking every step in our power to protect the safety of our campers and staff. We will be doing our part by sensitizing staff regarding this issue, and we respectfully enlist your assistance in speaking to your children as well. Of course, please feel free to call us if any issue or problem arises, or if you have any further questions.
Looking forward to a wonderful summer, both b‘ruchniyus u‘vegashmius.

KEEP IT SAFE

Things to Tell Your Child Before the Camp Season
• Let your child know that he or she can always speak to you, the camp director, head counselor or other trusted member of the camp administration about anything, and that you will always be supportive.
• Teach your child that no one, not even a person in a position of authority or a close relative, has the right to touch him or her in a way that feels uncomfortable.
• Teach your child that it is OK to say, “No, get away.”
• Let your child know that he should tell you or a trusted member of the camp administration about any inappropriate touching or more generally, if he is not comfortable with how he is being treated. Emphasize that this does not constitute loshon hora or any other aveirah; and that in fact it is a mitzvah to report such mafters.
• Tell your child that he should not listen to anyone who tells them to “keep secrets” from his parents or from the camp administration.
• Tell your child that he should not be afraid of threats from anyone who touches him improperly or otherwise threatens his physical well being or privacy. Both you and the camp administration will protect him.
General Pointers
• Be alert for changes in your child’s behavior that could signal abuse, such as sudden secretiveness, sleeplessness, withdrawal from activities or increased anxiety.
• If your child is a victim of abuse, don’t blame him. Listen and consult with a competent professional.
• Above all, let your child know that he can always tell you anything without fear of blame. Communication is critical.

I'm an agnostic on the Bryk's case. His alleged victim clearly was messed up and came from a messed up situation. Of course the professional victims' advocates will say that predators carefully select their victims, and they do, but not every accusation is founded - look at the McMartin and Amirault cases. News organizations are not always credible, particularly on sensational stories.

The victims' advocates spout questionable data (1 in 4 children is molested allegedly) and believe that every accusation is the truth.

If the movement to remove pedophiles and sexual predators from our yeshivas and girls' schools is to have credibility, it cannot be a witch hunt. Yerushalayim is our model, not Salem. [Aside: My choice of city names is deliberate, but as I type, I'm perplexed as to why the religious Puritan settlers in Massachussets would name the town Salem, after the Canaanite city, instead of something like New Jerusalem. Salem was a Jebusite city. The settlers named their town after a pagan city and it ended up as a buzzword for religious fanaticism.]

Frequent readers here know that I actively support what UOJ is doing. It's just that there's something about the Bryk's case that makes me very uncomfortable.

Various rabbinic authorities have ruled that if a heinous crime against someone, particularly an innocent childm is imminent and can be prevented, you MUST go to the secular authorities. No more of this baloney about letting the guy resign quietly (so as not to "shame the family" and "hurt the chances for making a shidduch for his children") and leave town to do the same thing again, the way the Catholic bishops did for so many years by reassigning their pervert priests.

If you know something, DON'T be deterred by baloney about how you will be a "moser" (informer) or how this is "loshan hara" or "nibul peh."

That having been said, I don't wish to sound like a nervous Nellie, but I do have one caution. Ask any beat cop in the 6-6 (BP) or 9-0 (Williamsburgh) whether he is allowed to really enforce the law there -- and he or she may well tell you that the answer is NO. Give some Hasidic jerk blatently disobeying the traffic laws a ticket and he more likely than not will call his rabbi, who's hooked up with some other official, who is friends with the police chief, and the ticket gets quashed.

Look at the way the idiots in BP poured into the streets and blocked traffic, burned trash and even torched a cop car (what a chillul Hashem THAT was!) just before Pesach becsause some old fool got a ticket for the very dangerous and illegal practice of blabbing on his cell phone while driving instead of concentrating on the road (A CAR IS A 4,000-POUND GUIDED MILLILE THAT CAN HIRT OR EVEN KILL PEOPLE, FOLKS!) and refused to give over his license for a ticket. Word spread like wildfire to the yeshivas that "a Yid" was "being beaten." Young, restless idiots with nothing better to do poured into the streets to "defend one of our own." Imagine what the reaction would be if a "respected mechanech" or a "chushaveh rebbe" like Kolko, as the Kool-Ade drinkers still consider him is perp-wallked, in cuffs, into the police station (remember, most of these people don't log on the internet or readsecular publications like New York Magazine). These bozos may lay siege to the place, or even try to storm it or burn it down (it happened a few years ago in Crown Heights). The cops may therefore decide to tread VERY LIGHTLY on such accusations.

Following the herd
By Shahar Ilan

The new communications minister, Ariel Atias, last week provided an astonishing figure in the ultra-Orthodox newspaper Bakehila. The Haredi public, which totals an estimated 600,000 people, has purchased to date only 30,000 "kosher" mobile phones, which exclude content services.

This despite the clear and vociferous directives by Torah sages to use only such cell phones.

This is not the Torah sages' only failure recently. Even more embarrassing was their attempt to ban Internet use. There can hardly be another public so active in the area of online forums as the Haredim (ultra-Orthodox). There you do not need to identify yourself, and under the protection of anonymity may write whatever you think and feel. Haredi businesses have long since learned that whoever is not on the Internet is essentially non-existent.

Ultra-Orthodox rabbis do not internalize the rule that you don't impose a decree the public cannot fulfill. Like a deluge, the modern world is flooding the Haredi street, and the rabbis, instead of instructing their people to wear life jackets, are trying to stop the water with their hands. The result: The Haredi public continues to respect the Torah sages; it just doesn't heed them so much.

There are many possible explanations for the decline in the power and influence of the Torah sages over the past few years. One of the most important is the split of the Council of Torah Sages into three councils - of Agudat Yisrael, Degel Hatorah and Shas.

But the main reason is that the rabbis have made themselves irrelevant. They are battling the modern world instead of trying to serve as regulators. And mainly, they completely fail in dealing with the truly important crisis facing the Haredi society of learners - the economic crisis.

The most prominent scholar on Haredi society, Prof. Menachem Friedman, has been warning for 30 years that this crisis is waiting to happen, but none of the rabbis have tried to preempt the foreknown economic tsunami. Friedman warned, for example, that a time would come when the secular public would no longer be prepared to bankroll the yeshiva students. And yet, when the child allowances were slashed, the rabbis and their public were caught completely off-guard. In the general public, that would be termed a fiasco. The Haredim quietly grumble.

It's not that stuff isn't happening in Haredi society. The Israel Defense Forces' Haredi Nahal battalion was created. Vocational training courses are opening. Dozens of men and women received law degrees last week. But everything is happening too slowly, in a faint trickle. The reason for this is that all of the processes are occuring without the overt support of the rabbis. Their uncourageous consent is expressed merely through turning a blind eye.

The conservative rabbis are trying to hang on by their fingernails to a society in which two out of three men study. They fail to grasp that this is untenable from an economic standpoint. Other rabbis know what has to be done, but they haven't the guts, nor broad enough shoulders.

They haven't the guts to announce that only those who excel ought to study their entire lives, while the rest should study for several years at a kollel - a yeshiva for married men - and then go out to work. They haven't the guts to initiate academic tracks at yeshivas, like in the United States, and to permit the establishment of Haredi high-school yeshivas. Fear of the zealots is stronger than concern for the public.

Within this so very mediocre leadership, Rabbi Aharon Leib Steinman, the Number 2 man in Degel Hatorah, stands out positively. Steinman favors jobs for those who do not wish to continue studying, and also backed the Tal Law. But he too lacks the courage, and perhaps the ability, to take it all the way and express his positions publicly. He is especially admired among Haredim in the Diaspora, but cannot seem to become a prophet in his own city.

And to finish up, a moment of Haredi logic: If this generation was deserving, a leader would surely arise who knows how to contend with the current challenges. Since the generation was not found worthy, the Haredi public has become a herd whose shepherds follow it.

Can anyone explain why the Gedolim advised the camps encourage us to lie to our children and tell them that the camp will protect them? The Gedolim themselves are the ones who have not allowed the camps to call the authorities, which is the only real way to protect them. In fact, the Agudas Yisroel's own camp covered up for Kolko for all these years and hasn't even apologized.

So why are they telling us to lie to our children and set them up for more rejection and abandonment when they report abuse to the camp? Why not give the kids at least a fighting chance by telling them to only tell their parents and to tell their parents to call the police?

At a professional conference on childhood sexual abuse, an expert speaking on the subject of prevention told the following story:

A man in the stairwell of a tenament approaches a six year old girl and offers her money to engage in inappropriate sexual behavior.
She says: "That's stupid, and I'm calling the police!" and runs away.

The speaker wished that all children would react as this one did.

But in our community, the child would then be ostracized, blamed by the parents, get thrown out of school if the molester was a t5eacher, and never get a shidduch because she was involved in a "chillul Hashem".

It's as if our community has made it more advisable for the girl to just do it and get it over with, quietly than to confront the situation directly.

To all those who say that children are not affected by unwanted sexual touch, I know some people who would pay good money to touch your children. Don't worry, there won't be any penetration. You could really save up for your child's yeshiva education and make a little profit, and don't worry, there will be no affect on the child, right?

To the author of this post,

You have written a brilliant piece. You may not have the credentials to counsel, but in my book you do. Masterfully, you hit upon every important detail of what victims of sexual molestation live through every day of their lives. You laid out the foundation to recovery, both for the victims and the perpetrators. The part about the Molester doing Teshuva is extremely relevant and important for the recovery of the victims. However, I suffer from pessimism on this matter because of several factors.

1) I do not think the ones doing the abusing and the ones doing the coverup, will ever admit what they did in public. As much as I would like to believe that Yudi Kolko and Yehuda Nussbaum will beg for forgiveness from their victims and admit what they did in public, I doubt they would ever have the guts to do it. They would rather just continue doing the abusing un-noticed and unchecked hoping to cover up their ugly crimes, hoping no one will ever find out the truth. Lippy Boy Margulis and Jack the Sadist Mandel, would never ever admit their ugly part in destroying Klal Yisroel. At least I don't think they will. Tshuva is definitely the correct approach on this matter, and the way to do it is by admitting to it in public and owning up to it. Please let all these sick, evil, twisted, corrupt, and deceitful people of sin prove me wrong!

2) I think that you have made another fantastic and very relevant point, where you so correctly stated the sad truth. The current system of holding offenders accountable for their repulsive acts of sexual abuse against children is for the PITS. Agudas Yisroel Of America is a prime example. If we have organizations such as Agudah running a campaign of sexual abuse cover-ups for over 4 decades, we know that we are in loads of trouble. When we have a so called "Frum" public that ignores the problems by refusing to acknowledge the victimization of these children by their abuser, it is almost as much a crime as the offending itself, for this allows the abuse to continue. The cycle never ends. And because there is no accountability and no system in place to protect our children from abuse, Klal Yisroel continues to suffer. Can people (especially the "Frum") ever be counted on to do the right thing and not deny and vilify the accuser instead of helping to stop the offender from offending again? Can they be counted on to perform their duty of protecting our innocent children from harm? So far they have failed miserably in this aspect. People have just run to the defense of these villains, and to the offense of these poor victims. Is this how a true Yid is supposed to act? Are we not the ones that should be looked upon with envy from every other nation? The Goiyim see how Jews act and say to themselves "we don't envy them". Look what they do. They have Rabbi's that abuse boys and the Jews still defend them and let them continue to be around children. They allow 40 years of silence to dwindle away before finally uttering a small stupid response to the allegations of sexual abuse that was the disease in Camp Aguda, Yeshiva Torah Temima, as well as many other Yeshiva's (and that's not even including all the Chasideshe Yeshiva's). If I was a gentile and I saw this happening, I would have no respect for the Jews. Nada. Zilch. Why should I respect Jews if they act worse than animals? Why should I envy the Jews that are all about faking it out. They care about saying Krias Shema bezman, and checking in the mirror to make sure their "Shel Rosh" is centered in middle, and yet these same people would do anything in their power to coverup sexual abuse. The question naturally is why would other nations envy us, if we act worse than them? It's a good question. It's a good Tayna on Klal Yisroel. Perhaps, this is the reason we are still waiting for Moshiach to come.

As my ramblings come to a close, I would like to share with you a secret that a good friend of mine just revealed to me. Sadly it was another sexual abuse story by a "Rabbi". When he was thirteen years old, he was molested by his Rebbe while attending a Yeshiva in Monsey NY. Courageously, he was a able to tell his parents. The Police were summoned and they arrested this "Rebbe". This "rebbe" later pleaded guilty to all charges. As part of his plea, he would never be permitted to work or be near children again.

For 7 years, this boy's neighbors refused to talk to him or even acknowledge him. They viewed him as a "troubled" kid who was making these highly impossible stories up. Time, is an influence though, and after 7 years, some of his neighbors approached him and asked for Mechila from him for doubting and not believing him. May all of Klal Yisroel do Teshuva for whatever sins they have committed (myself included). And may we be Zoche to be the "ENVY" of every other nation in the world!

When I read about Kolko and Bryks, I can't help but think of the case of Matis Weinberg. How did he get away with abusing boys for 40 years? What is he doing today?

I know when the case broke a few years ago he tried to get a job at a Yeshiva in South Africa. Unfortunate for him those who did the hiring looked him up on the net.

Then there's also the case of Eliezer Eisgrau in Baltimore. He's the principal at TI (Torah Institute).

Don't forget, Reb lazer did not ask this pedearst to come knocking on his door, and there is no "What to do when a pervert comes a'knockin" hand book to deal with this crap. But Reb Lazer IS, repeat IS, dealing with this. So lay off and move on to the next homo who can't keep his hands of the little ones.

maintaining my anonynimity. The reporters are digging for the cause of DA's office quietly dropping the case,
and stories will be appearing shortly.

I believe that there is renewed interest in this case & pressure will be applied to the DA's office
to bring him back. I firmly believe that someone or some group from the "frum" Orthodox community pressured
the DA's office to drop the case. I am trying to find out if other victims have also recently come forward so that we can

Report: Manchester rabbi frequents whorehouses

The Lubavitcher rabbi is most likely spinning in his grave. One of his Hassidim was photographed consorting with whores. Prior to this event, he announced on TV that, for religious reasons, he is unable to shake hands with a woman
Moody Krightman
He regularly frequents whorehouses, garters especially turn him on, and he pays extra for special sexual services. No, we're not talking about a high-class pimp or an executive in the pornography industry, but rather an ultra-Orthodox rabbi of the Lubvitcher school.

The bestselling tabloid in the world, News of the World, published on Sunday the scandalous story of Manchester resident, Rabbi Dovid Jaffe. Jaffe, married and the father of four, heads the Lubavticher center in Manchester and prepares youths for their bar-mitzvah ceremony.

Rabbi Jaffe in News of the World

Recently, he appeared on BBC 4 as a guest on a show featuring Jewish customs. While on television, he described the difficulties in maintaining an ultra-Orthodox lifestyle in England and went on to say that, for religious reasons, he cannot even shake hands with a woman.
It turns out, however, that the rabbi who is not prepared to clasp hands with women is more than happy to clasp plenty of other body parts. He was photographed recently visiting the "Angels" whorehouse in Manchester and cavorting with the women there

'Whores dressed in garters'
The weekly paper that exposed Rabbi Jaffe's exploits says that, for half an hour of sex, the rabbi is willing to pay forty pounds, fifty if oral sex is also part of the package. He prefers to have his whores dressed in garters.

"He's a frequent client here," reveals one of the whores. "He's a man who knows exactly what he wants." One whore, who in a moment of boredom perhaps wanted to purify herself, happened to watch the BBC production and discovered that her client was a rabbi. His remarks on the show infuriated her. "How hypocritical can you be? On one hand, he won't shake hands with women and, on the other hand, he comes around all the time and has very bizarre requests. Only a day before preaching on television, he came here and had a good time."
When he arrived for a visit at the house following his TV appearance, one of the whores told him, "I don't know whether to ask for money or an autograph."
