Evil, Incompetent, Corrupt, Immoral, Emotionally Dead, Mentally Deficient, Spiritually Bankrupt - The State Of The Rabbinate!

What if " Rabbi Yudi Cho" from "Baltimore Tech" or "Torah Temima Tech" was accused over and over again of threatening the well-being and the lives of his students?

And the rabbis did nothing!

What if numerous complaints were lodged with rabbis nationwide about various rabbis sexually abusing their students?

And the rabbis did nothing!

What if numerous mental health professionals informed the many Orthodox Jewish organizations that sexual abuse by rabbis was being perpetrated upon their students in yeshivas, girls' schools, camps and anywhere else rabbis had access to children?

And the rabbis did nothing?

What if these authentic, documented allegations over the past FORTY years have been proven to be true?

And the rabbis did nothing!

What if there was a convened bais din of "prominent" rabbis that found the allegations of sexual molestation believable, but were overidden by a demented rabbi without any concern for the welfare of the children?

And the rabbis did nothing!

What if a "prominent" rabbi, Rabbi Yaakov Hopfer, found Moshe Eisemann of Baltimore guilty as charged of sexually abusing students, and yet still have him living among hundreds of children on the NIRC campus?

And the rabbis did nothing!

What if Eliezer Eisgrau, a principal of a day school in Baltimore, was accused by his daughter of having been RAPED by her father, as well as other students' allegations of sexual misconduct...and Rabbi Yosef Blau, the mashgiach ruchni of Yeshiva University found Eisgrau's daughter's accusations absolutely credible?

And the rabbis did nothing?

What If Shlomo Mandel Of Yeshiva Of Brooklyn admitted that Rabbi Yehuda Nussbaum was indeed a danger to children, and yet permits him to "tutor" boys on the premises of Yeshiva Of Brooklyn!

And the rabbis did nothing!

What if Shlomo Mandel, principal of Yeshiva Of Brooklyn, allegedly has a history of physically, emotionally and sexually abusing children himself, dating back FORTY plus years since his teen-age years?

And the rabbis did nothing!

I ask you, my fellow Jews, what have WE done to deserve these rabbis?

AND THE JEWS DID NOTHING!

A Letter to Rabbi Heinemann From A Survivor Of Incest

(From Jewish Survivors)

Dear Rabbi Heinemann,

I do not feel comfortable calling you on the phone or mailing my letter directly to you. I am hoping someone reading this will print out my letter and hand it directly to you.

I read the note you put up in your synagogue and have been reading on the various blogs that you do not feel that Rabbi Ephraim Shapiro's name should have been mentioned in the Baltimore Jewish Times article because Rabbi Ephraim Shapiro is no longer alive and can't defend himself and also because we should be protecting the family members of sex offenders.

I want to let you know that I am a family member of a sex offender. I am also an incest survivor. I tried many times growing up to get help and no one would listen. When I approached various rabbis asking for help, they seemed more concerned about protecting my father's good name then they were in stopping the insanity that was going on in my home. I was told over and over again that my father was a good person. That I should just try to get along with my family better.

No one cared that I was suicidal. No one cared that I often slept in a park as a way to prevent my father from raping me at night.

Rabbi Heinemann, I went to you twice trying to ask you for help and you told me you didn't believe me. The first time I was twelve. The second time I was over eighteen. Why is it that you care more about my father then you did about me?

Please remember every incest survivor is a family member of a sex offender. We also deserve to have a voice!

Sincerely,
Sara Rivka Rachel Leah
