Sex-tape rabbi tries to 'share' hottie

Eww, that's not kosher!

A prominent Orthodox rabbi has been caught on tape discussing his apparent love affair with a shikse that was converting to Judaism -- whom he allegedly also pushed to have sex with his friends. Rabbi Leib Tropper of Rockland County is heard encouraging pretty, blond Shannon Orand of Houston to participate in phone sex and actual sex with men the rabbi knows, including one he calls "the Satmar guy. Tropper, who calls the woman "darling" and "cutie pie," talks about his own love affair with her at one point, saying: "I want to squeeze you. He also fantasized about rape. "I could role-play a rape with you but I couldn't actually rape you -- you know what I'm saying, darling -- does that make sense?" he asks.

The scandal has rocked the Orthodox community from Rockland County to Israel, and transcripts of the sex tapes are circulating on Jewish blogs, with the audio posted on YouTube. The rabbi talks about paying Orand money for a lawyer and a stipend of $1,300 for the month of November. He also mentions putting in writing an agreement between the two.

"Why would you want to document that kind of agreement on an e-mail?" an upset Orand asks. Orand, who identifies herself on the tape, apparently recorded the phone conversations. "It was only supposed to go to a few leading rabbis," Orand, 32, told The Post. She refused to comment further, and later released a statement saying, "While an individual 'rabbi' acted in an inappropriate manner, my desire to become a bona fide Jew is undeterred. Orand reportedly told a Jewish blog, failedmessiah.com, that Tropper would tell her: "If you fulfill my needs, I'll fulfill yours -- and you need a conversion.

The blog reported that Orand's conversion was to have been finalized last week, but was canceled at the last minute by a religious court. Tropper declined to comment, but a source close to him said the rabbi feels like he's a victim and was used by Orand.

He resigned effective Dec. 12 from Eternal Jewish Family, a Monsey-based organization that primarily works to convert gentiles in interfaith marriages to Judaism. The 59-year-old rabbi is the founder of Eternal Jewish Family and sought to create strict universal guidelines for conversion, which are handled differently by various Jewish sects.

Harav Shmuel Kaminetsky Gives Eternal Jewish Family a Brocho - August 24, 2009

Sources:

Harav Shmuel Kaminetsky, Rosh Yeshiva of the Philadelphia Yeshiva, gave a brocha to Eternal Jewish Family for its work and mentioned the “vast problem we are dealing with here in America because of intermarriage and Jewish conversion. To illustrate the accomplishments of a proper geirus, Harav Kaminetsky used the example of Ruth, whose Jewish conversion (geirus) escorted her to the pinnacle of greatness among the Jewish people. Other presenters included Rabbi Nota Schiller, Rabbi Nachum Eisenstein, Rabbi Yonasan Rosenblum, Rabbi Dovid Shochet, Rabbi Dovid Gottleib, Rabbi Mordechai Fishberg, Rabbi Mordechai Neugroschel, and Rabbi Doron Kornbluth.*

"....But in any battle between an institution and an idea, the idea, in the long run, has the better of it. I do not enter into the absurdity of arguing that the truth always survives. I believe nothing of the sort. As a matter of fact, it seems to me that an idea that happens to be true -- it seems to me that such an idea carries a special and often handicap.

The vast majority of men prefer delusion to truth. It soothes. It is easy to grasp. Above all, it fits more snugly than the truth into a universe of false appearances -- of complex and irrational phenomena, defectively grasped. But though an idea is true, is this not likely to prevail, and an idea that is attacked enjoys a great advantage.

One never hears of a martyr in history whose notions are seriously disputed today. The forgotten ideas, rather, are those of men who put them forward soberly and quietly, hoping fatuously that they would conquer by force of their truth; these are the ideas we now struggle to rediscover.

Had an idea "or a group of ideas" lived to be burned at the stake by outraged "orthodox lunatics", it would have been a glorious day for these ideas. As it is, it is helped on their way every time they are denounced as immoral and against God...."

Thursday - December 31, 2009

In conjunction with the decision of made by the standing committee of the Conference of European Rabbis (CER) that met in Moscow in the month of Kislev we strongly object to involvement of the organization known as the Eternal Jewish Family (EJF) in matters of conversion in Europe. By virtue of the fact that the abovementioned organization (EJF) involves itself in matters of conversion to actively influence gentiles to convert which is against the traditions of our community from previous times, and there is a concern for a breach of the walls of our faith in Europe, and by virtue of the fact that the leaders of this aforementioned organization caused a desecration of the Divine Name and a disgrace to the name of the Orthodox Rabbinate throughout the world in recent weeks, we the leaders of the Kehilos HaKodesh in Europe call upon the organization called the Eternal Jewish Family to cancel their planned seminar. If they do not heed our request we call upon the Rabbis that were invited to the seminar not to participate with them and to guard themselves from entering there.

Interview with Conference of European Rabbis Rav Dunner Speaks Out Against EJF

By 5TJT Staff

Published on Thursday, January 07, 2010

The Conference of European Rabbis is the primary Orthodox Rabbinic organization in Europe. It was founded in 1956 on the initiative of British Chief Rabbi Sir Israel Brodie, and its current executive director is Rabbi Aba Dunner. All the chief Rabbis across Europe joined the organization, and attended its first conference in Amsterdam. It is now run by a standing committee of 25 members which meets twice a year, and just met in Moscow. The Five Towns Jewish Times and VINNEWS spoke with Rabbi Dunner in an exclusive interview concerning the recent statement by the Conference of European Rabbis about the EJF (the Eternal Jewish Family).

Interviewer: Firstly, can you tell me about the Conference of European Rabbis?

RD: We are an umbrella organization of all the Chief Rabbis in Europe ranging from Dublin to Kazikstan. They turn to us for guidance. It was designed to prevent the non-authentic forms of Judaism from entering Europe.

Since then, the Conference of European Rabbis has been active in four main areas. The office in Brussels deals with combating anti-Semitism, and attempts to stop Shechita. There is also a “Lo Tishkach” department identifying the 20,000 Jewish cemeteries and mass graves in Europe and to protect them. The fourth area is to establish a Bais Din in areas where they do not have them in order to stop what we call, “Cowboy Geirus and Gittin.”

INT: What else does it do?

RD: We also have a department that builds Mikvaos. A Rav without a Mikvah is like someone with one hand tied behind his back. How can a Rav discuss Taharas HaMishpacha without access to a Mikvah? This is something else that we do.

INT: One would think that there would be worldwide condemnation against Leib Tropper, the former leader of the EJF, and its organization - yet there is virtually nothing. Why is that?

RD: We are amazed why it is. We unmasked this organization and the chap who ran it, I would not call him Rabbi - before this scandal.. We found him to be a control freak and a megalo-maniac, we found him to be so disrespectful of Rabbanim that there was a unanimous vote of the standing committee to make sure that he and his organization do not enter Europe.

Having a seminar of mixed intermarried couples to convert is so bizarre - this was all done in order to gain favor with their sponsor.. We decided, en masse that we wanted nothing to do with EJF .. We are amazed that the Gedolim have not come out against this. We do not understand this at all.

I will press and will continue to press very hard to continue to ensure that this organization ceases from its nefarious activities.

INT: Are you aware of any improprieties by this organization in terms of pushing onto the batei Dinim questionable Geirus?

RD: I have heard stories from America in this regard, but do not know firsthand. I have found the tape to be so terribly shocking, however, that anything can be.

INT: Have you experienced this organization undoing a proper Geirus?

RD: I have only heard that they do such things but do not know of anything for certain. I like to know names and facts before I take a stand on something as serious as this.

I have no idea what their criterion [for geirus] is, if a geirus came in we would make inquiries. We do know of certain unscrupulous batei dinim - there are questionable rabbonim. We look at the geirus that comes up on the table.

This EJF was a random organization, a private organization by a miniscule Rosh Yeshiva in Monsey. What are we talking about here? He has no experience. It is a private organization that got numerous people involved in it for reasons that we all know.. He tried to assume authority and dictated to people what they can and cannot do.. I don’t know why Mr. Tom Kaplan would do this..

INT: Are you convinced that these tapes are legitimate?

RD: Yes, absolutely. I heard the tapes, I know his voice. They are absolutely, totally, and completely genuine.. The whole thing is sick. Never in my entire klal life did I ever experience anything like this. It is quite sick I am 72 years old and, unfortunately, I was exposed to these tapes. I had to hear things that never in my life I would thought to hear. To think of the person and what he did. So unbelievable and so terrible!

INT: But what about the possible good work that he may have done here? Should we throw out the entire organization because of what he did?

RD: Yes, absolutely. Mendelson translated the Tanach into German. He was an apikores. I once asked my father (Rav Dunner‘s father was the head of Keddassiah)- He said, “Abba, it is Assur, this is apikorsus any work that he has done has apikorsus in it..

The same goes to an organization that has been founded by this depraved individual.. He has no right whatsoever to have a Yeshiva.. He is a man that should stay home and be happy that nobody stones him. The same goes for his organization..

Let Mr. Kaplan put his money into Jewish education. Schools are dying because of this economic situation. That is the future of Klal Yisroel.. He could do so much more with his money. The amount of money that has gone down through this black hole is sinful.. Don’t pollute our Jewish world with this type of organization..

INT: What would you recommend American Rabbonim do in the meantime?

RD: They should organize themselves and come up with an alternative method of evaluating geirus.. There are very capable and fine Rabbonim in America. They are quite capable of doing it themselves and working it out themselves. I am sure they can do that to put their house in order.. They should not take money from such an organization..

INT: What in your opinion should Rabbis do who have accepted money personally when they attended these EJF Conferences?

RD: If someone got personal money they should give it to tzedaka, as being part of the backers of EJF - they should immediately give it away. Not back to the EJF.

But chas veshalom they should put it in their pockets..

They should also write a letter to EJF and say, “We want nothing to do with the organization and the funds we received we are forwarding to the following tzedaka organization.. The mosdos of chinuch.” If there is all that money, it should be given to a useful purpose..

INT: Are there any other statements you would like to say regarding this situation?

RD: I call upon every single Rav in America to look at themselves in the mirror and say to themselves:

“Did I do the right thing [in taking EJF money]? For the sake of Chillul Hashem we should show that when the truth comes out, we should say we made a mistake. We know the truth - a genuine mistake. We were wrong. We therefore say, “EJF goodbye! Close down. We don’t need you.” and say to Tom Kaplan, “Please use your money for education.” - That is my call to them..

INT: Thank you Rabbi Dunner, this has been most enlightening.

RD: Thank you.

UOJ, are you aware if Hikind has a good reason for wanting to keep greenfield out of felders council seat???

Anonymous said...

listen the truth about shmeltzer is he is a legend in his own mind

he has zero credibility in the torah world and was using his bully pulpit as a rosh kolel of north miami beach to get good shidduchim for his kids and trying to meet the gedolim

most of the kolel avreichim are very nice boys

the pity is that shmeltzer has bunkered down with his denials of the affairs and why he protects offenders and drug users and dealers who have ruined many lives in the community

he was well aware months ago about these cases and was made aware by his honoree C.M whose brother N.M was involved with the affairs

S.w a known felon and gambler has his story coming out now as well

shmeltzer was removed by zwieg for reasons that he wont discuss and it seems that the zwieg family had to sign a non disclosure to get him to leave

there are very messy storis about shmeltzer and soon it will all be revealed

remember tropper had the rumors for a while then proven

so to with shmeltzer

Yeshiva World said...

Rabbi Batzri: ‘Get Out Dibuk!’

January 7, 2010

There was a mechitza set up between the many who came to observe and the mekubalim headed by HaRav David Batzri Shlita, who was attempting to remove the dibuk from the Brazilian avreich in Jerusalem’s Yeshivat Shalom on Wednesday night.

“Get out Dibuk!” shouted the rabbonim as shofars were sounded in the background. “Tell us your name”.

Prior to the event, the avreich, who arrived from Brazil earlier in the week, visited a number of Gedolei Yisrael Shlita, including Jerusalem Tzaddik Rav Zundel Kroizer Shlita.

The mekubalim gathered in the ezras nashim of the shul, separated from the crowd by the mechitza that was closed to prevent seeing what was taking place, permitting observers to listen in, no more.

At one point, the dibuk appeared willing to leave the host, via an eye, but Rav Batzri shouted he does not have permission to harm the young man, ordering him to leave via the small toe of his left foot only, with causing any harm to the young man.

The mekubalim did everything they could to compel the dibuk to leave, but apparently, even the special tikunim recited were not enough to extract the foreign entity from the young avreich.

Witnesses report as the tzibur recited Shema and 13 Midos along with the mekubalim, two different distinct voices were heard from the young avreich.

Despite all the efforts, it appears Rav Batzri was unsuccessful in his efforts to remove the dibuk from the avreich.

My sources told me that the Agudah does not want Greenfield to win the seat. Next thing I know, Hikind is mouthing off about how everyone is united against Greenfield.

For all his talk, it seems Hikind is nothing but a "shik yingel" of the Agudah & their fressers. He wears his knitted kipa for appearences only. Him & Charles Barron & Charlie Rangel would make a good team as people who "lead" their people into an abyss of nothingness in their pusuit of power & attention.

There I said it. (oh, & matzav etc aren't letting any comments critical of hikind. makes you wonder...)

He means well do you want to take over the agudah of chicago? hes the perfect nice guy for the job and listens to rabbi feurst in everything. keep up the good work

Anonymous said...

I'm just speculating, but this might have something to do with why Hikind is anti-Greenfield, lifted from Yeshiva World.

-------Before joining SCF, Greenfield served as deputy director of finance in Senator Joseph Lieberman’s 2004 presidential campaign. Prior to that, he was chief of staff to Assemblyman Dov Hikind.-----


So speculate away, what sort of falling out could it be that leads someone from being your chief of staff, to your number 1 political enemy. IIRC Hikind has a history of public vendettas that are personal in nature, but he portrays them as being for the good of the community. Anyone else remembers that his relationship with Dear is like an on-again, off-again romance, and his more recent falling-out with Simcha Felder (also a former chief of staff). It makes one wonder....

If David Scnell's decisions about the convention, business decisions, and personal ethics are in accordance with Rabbi Fuerst then Chicago is a city that can be described as Les Din V'Les Dayan. Unless of course Rabbi Fuerst approves of Spinka style business ethics and as many people suspect, for the right price can't recognize something assur! Who knows?

BTW it may be a good idea to start grooming a succesor as president. Hey, you never know! Does the chevra really want to do damage control when certain things hit the fan? There are many capable, honest and MORAL people in Chicago willing to lead Agudah. In your estimation David Schnell is perceived as a nice guy, that is until you deal with him.

Agudah is in Miami this weekend and it will be in the 20s tonight with a good chance of snow.

"Gehinnom of Snow" is the punishment for sins that are due to laziness and lack of action.

Perhaps the Rabbis of Agudah will see tonight's extremely rare snow in Miami as a sign from Hashem. Perhaps it is time that they should take action to stop molesters in our schools, shuls and camps.

Williamsburg said...

http://chaptzem.blogspot.com/2010/01/out-of-inbox-stunned-by-child.html

Just the other day I witnessed the most frightening thing ever. It was a sunny morning and my older children were off to school already. My husband came home from work unexpectedly and told me that he was going to Williamsburg for a meeting. I had heard a lot about Williamsburg and its inhabitants, especially more so lately with all the politics going on there. I was interested and intrigued, so I jumped into my street clothing and we were off. We arrived in Williamsburg about 12:30 PM, the throngs of women and men with baby carriages were a sight to see.

My husband parked in front of his business acquaintances' office. He ran up and I was to sample the couture of the neighborhood. As I was getting my bag about to leave our car, something interesting caught my eye. I saw a rebbe followed by a long trail of what must have been about 35 five-year old children following him out of a yeshivah to a city playground a couple of houses down.

What I witnessed afterwards both shocked and frightened me. The rebbe lead the children to the large playground, closed the double gate behind him and left them there all by themselves. I could not believe what I was seeing. I checked just to make sure, there was no adult anywhere in sight. An entire cheder class of five year olds were left completely alone by themselves. After checking even more, I realized that the gate on the other side of the playground was wide open, leaving an open opportunity for these children to just wander off.

I was completely stunned and horrified by this neglect on the part of the rebbe. It just plain boggled my mind that any human being, let alone a rebbe of small children could do such a thing. I couldn't even bring myself to think of all the possible things that could happen to these sweet little innocent children in such a situation. I was just plain floored.

I stood there and waited for the reebe to return to supervise these neshomes in his care. I just could not go anywhere and leave them alone unwatched, lest something happen to any one of them and I could never forgive myself. About twenty five minutes later the rebbe strolled up to the playground with a steaming cup of coffee in his hand. He did not even give as much as a glance around to see if anyone had seen his careless and negligent actions. Thinking back to that moment now, I am sorry I did not scream my lungs out at him, maybe then he would have learned never to do such a thing again.

Rabbi suspected of making 1,200 obscene calls to children

Haaretz

A Modi'in Ilit rabbi was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of making 1,200 obscene phone calls to children, Channel 10 news reported.

The rabbi, 36, who is also a school teacher, is suspected of impersonating an Education Ministry official and calling children in the afternoon when he believed their parents not to be at home.

Police began investigating after four children complained about a man who had called them in the afternoon and asked them frank sexual questions. The children's parents then alerted police.

Police said the suspect made 1,200 phone calls, used a pay-as-you-go phone and called random numbers to try to cover his tracks.

Police said the rabbi told them he was not harassing the children, according to Channel 10, but that he was studying child sexual assault and trying to find out when children are exposed to sexual subject matter.

PARIS, France [LAP] — A Hasidic super star was arrested for assaulting his wife and children at his home, in Montreuil near Paris, France.

Y. C. Z., a Hasidic superstar, spent 20 hours in the National Police Station in Paris answering questions pertaining to the assault on N. D., the woman he married in 1999, and his children.

Y. C. Z., of Tunisian origin, lives in Montrueil near Paris. As a child he developed a love for singing and music. He has since produced two albums of Hasidic music.

Rabbi Geltzahler said...

It is not fair to say I stole from Torah Vodath to form Ohr Yisroel. In the end, in spite of my name I was left with nothing. They were unfair to claim I was grandiose just because I decided to dig out of my yeshiva debts by founding a mesivta. I always had the backing of Jack Parker who built me a HS building and gave me a free apartment in Parker Towers on Queens Blvd. I raised a whole generation of Rabbonim in my Yeshiva. Nisson Wolpin who edits the Jewish Observer was my secular studies principal. Mr Schoor who was once a baseball player became one of my chassidim. All of Forest Hills got suckered into co-signing my notes. I had a great influence on Forest Hills.

On the day of the JFK Levayah I had my kids come in but I fooled the goyim by telling the kids not to bring briefcases or even lunch.

I am sure the michtav eliyahu was proud of his son-in-law. The people from Antwerp who knew my parents thought I turned out badly. But they had no respect for my frumkeit. I wore a long coat and had a fantastic beard. Mamash like Theodore Hertzl, but I course I was frum.

In the most serious allegation, Frank says he once found empty packages from non-kosher Tyson chicken in a Dumpster outside the kitchen. “What was it doing there if it wasn’t cooked?” he asks.

The OU says it has no record of having received that complaint from Frank.

“The last [disciplinary notice] I received, a few days before I was terminated, stated that I told visitors that the place wasn’t kosher,” says Frank. “I didn’t say that, but said there were kosher problems and that you couldn’t eat there on Shabbos because food is cooked on Shabbos. Only sick people are allowed to eat food cooked on Shabbos.”

He also said that meat and dairy dishes and pots were washed in the same dishwasher, non-kosher food items were delivered to the kitchen and that he and other kosher supervisors were assigned to do kitchen work unrelated to kashrut, such as lining trays with placemats.

Rabbi Luban said it was “common” in the kashrut supervision business for supervisors to be paid by the food establishment. He acknowledged that this arrangement created a potential conflict of interest

Frank said Kwiatkovsky constantly discouraged him from talking to the OU about his concerns. He admits his job was not endangered, however, until he violated the hospital’s policy against releasing information to the public.

When he visited the Weiler kitchen, Rabbi Luban said, he found “a lot of tension there” between Frank and a supervisor whom he did not name but appears to be Kwiatkovsky.

“We were able to defuse the situation at the time,” said the rabbi. “Everything was on track until a few weeks ago when [Frank] appeared in an article on one of the blogs that said the hospital was serving unkosher food to the patients. I thought we had worked everything out. He said the hospital told him he was not allowed to talk to me, and I said, ‘Why did you go to the blogs, which is worse?’”

An account by both Frank and Rabbi Luban suggests that on his last day of work, Dec. 4, the OU and hospital were trying to accommodate both his disability and his desire to closely inspect food shipments. Rabbi Luban said he arranged for a hospital worker to help Frank dismantle a shrink-wrapped pallet of food that arrived early in the morning from the distributing company.

(Frank's disability is more than two years old. He's been fighting for accommodation all that time.

According to Frank, the OU's head mashgiach at the hospital, Frank's direct supervisor Barry Kwiatkovsky, who is the hospital's assistant director of food services, refused to do anything to accommodate him.

In other words, it was only after Frank came to Luke Ford that the hospital did anything to accommodate Frank's disability.

Frank also found empty packages of non-kosher cheese on a day the hospital made pizza)

The OU gets YU to join in persecuting the mashgiach.

A blog was contacted on Motzaei Shabbos by a witness who saw Yeshiva University (YU) security officers attempt to evict former OU mashgiach Robert Frank and his wife Barbara from a synagogue located in a building owned by YU's Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Frank and his wife are synagogue members in good standing, and the synagogue is independent from Yeshiva University. YU gives the synagogue space so that YU's medical students and doctors will have a place to pray when they're on call over Shabbos.

Frank was recently fired by Montefiore Medical Center after Frank released hospital reports, a city inspection report, and videos he says documented unkosher conditions in Montefiore's Weiler Hospital. The center and the hospital are affiliated with but not owned by Yeshiva University. YU did not return several earlier phone calls or answer messages left about Frank's claims and has – until now – played no known role in the conflict.

The witness said YU security attempted to evict Frank and his wife from the building Friday night, telling them they are no longer allowed on the premises by the order of Yeshiva University.

Neither Frank or his wife were disruptive, and the synagogue did not request their eviction.

Frank and his wife were stopped at the synagogue door by YU security and told they could not enter and must leave the building. The synagogue's vice president was nearby and interceded, telling the guard that the synagogue wanted Frank and his wife to enter, and that they are members in good standing.

The guard allowed the Franks in.

Frank and his wife entered and began praying. About five minutes later the guard returned and tried to evict the Franks from the synagogue.

The synagogue's president interceded, demanding to speak with the officer's supervisor. He then negotiated a compromise with that supervisor that allowed Frank and his wife to pray in the synagogue Friday night, Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon.

But Frank and his wife will be barred from entry in the future unless Yeshiva University relents.
