Yesterday afternoon, Oholei Torah sent a letter to its parent-body, informing them of a serious and credible abuse allegation pertaining to a member of their support staff. The letter stated that pursuant to school policy, the individual has been removed from the campus and has been ordered to have no contact with its students.

This statement, sent out within hours after we informed them of the allegations and ongoing investigation, demonstrate the type of swift and diligent action that is imperative and necessary for schools and institutions to engage in. JCW would like to publicly commend the school for acting promptly, putting the safety of our children above all other priorities.

Since the investigation is ongoing, JCW will refrain from publicly commenting further on these allegations for the time-being.

-We would like to reiterate the yeshiva's point and reassure parents that at this time, there is no indication that any current students in the school have been hurt by this individual.
