Hello UOJ,
I am a journalist of Ha'aretz. I write about the haredi society. I met Chezi and interviewed him on the very week he was murdered in the Pigua. I was very impressed by his personality and was shocked by his death. He was a wonderful human being.
I would like to contact the persons who wrote about the child molester in Beit Shemesh recently. Could you help me with that? I will be extremely sensitive and --- they can be sure that I will not expose them.
Sincerely,
Tamar Rotem 0505-986123

Dear UOJ,
The school Toras Eliyahu has re-employed the alleged child molester to teach their Grade Three kids.
In response to the questions/criticism about why they chose to put a child molester back into their classroom, Toras Eliyahu's menahel is now claiming:
1. They knew all about the allegations (came out in the summer) against Akiva Kagan before they employed him this semester.
2. They have thoroughly investigated the charges against him, and found him innocent of all charges and worthy of being entrusted with more kids.
They are clearly in a bind.
If they say they DIDN'T know about the allegations, then this raises serious questions about their screening process.
Once they say they DID know about it, they have to explain why they've put a pervert to guard over 30 kids?
The allegations have been investigated by the Tahor Mishpacha (Tznius Patrol) of Geula, Meah Shearim - who found Kagan "uncooperative" and therefore recommended taking it to the police. (Kagan refused to take a polygraph examination)
The police are now in the early stages of investigating it.
The school is clearly lying about their 'investigation'. They have no knowledge or experience of dealing with such matters - and simply swept the allegations under the carpet, following the lead of local rabbonim headed by Rabbi Chaim Malinowitz of Art Scroll.
I am amazed that parents entrust their children to these people - who clearly don't care a damn about the safety of kids.
Where is the outrage? Why aren't parents making a stink?
Don't they care about their own children either?
The rabbonim don't care; the schools (now Ishrei Lev and Toras Eliahu) don't care; the parents don't care.
Aside from UOJ - does ANYBODY take a stand to protect frum children???!!

Putting accusations aside for the moment against Rabbi Malinowitz; as a rav in Bet Shemesh - He has a chov kadosh to get up in shul and say in no uncertain terms:
AKIVA KAGAN SHOULD BE PUT ON LEAVE PENDING THE OUTCOME OF THE POLICE INVESTIGATION.
IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
RABBI MALINOWITZ - STAND UP AND BE COUNTED AS AN EHRLICHE YID - AS A HUMAN BEING - I'M SURE IF YOU HAD A CHILD OR A GRANDCHILD IN THAT CLASS - YOU WOULD TEAR DOWN THE HEAVENS TO PROTECT HIM!
EVERY CHILD IN THAT CLASS IS YOUR CHILD - EVERY CHILD IN AM YISROEL IS OURS! NOW DO SOMETHING TO PROTECT THEM OR I'll RAISE HELL AT ART SCROLL! KAPISH?
