samuel boland is who you are looking for. preys on mostly high school boys and beth medrash. been doing it for years. he is not a member of the hanhala. he was kicked out of the dormitory, kicked out of the gym, kicked out of camp morris, but for some reason they honor him with blowing shofar the month of elul. please uoj, put an end to his honor and make his name known to stay away from. he invites boys to his house neaer the yeshiva and offers them to watch ball games, offers them a "shower". please get rid of him.

I was sexually molested by rabbi Jonathan Max the rebbi and dorm counsler

that is bullshit about rmax. i've been in cb for over 40 years, and while sambo is an open secret, there is no way in the world that fruchthandler would keep a pedophile as a dorm supervisor. rmax never laid a finger on me or any of my pals, but sambo was notorious for shaking hands for uncomfortably long times and not letting go. cb also has a way of ridding themselves of problem rebeim, but rmax is not one of them. someone obviously has a gripe about how he treated them.

I was in an Ohel group home years ago ( I was in foster care too).....Ohel put me in Yeshiva Chaim Berlin ... I became frum in Chaim Berlin and stayed frum for 20 years...I just want to let all frum jews know....The reason why I left Yiddishkite and converted to Christianity is because for years I was sexually molested by rabbi Jonathan Max YEMACH SHMO FOREVER in the Yeshhiva Chaim Berlin dormitory ...The pain was just too much to handle... Now I am healing in church almost every Sunday....Real sad story...Keep minor children away from Rabbi Jonathan Max!!

I question your story Menachem... On Facebook, a while back you left a rambling post (which I think you since deleted), about blaming R' Max for messing up your marriage. If I recall in your message you said you liked him till then (not really consistent with him being your molester). I don't recall the exact gist of the message you posted (several years ago), but I recall something about you saying you will f... your wife up the a... I am sure you remember this gem of a message even if you did actually delete it. It makes me wonder that you are spreading this story and it is not true. If anyone does not believe me about this, please post on the OTD FB group to see if anyone else recalls this message... It was a real gem.

I myself went to Chaim Berlin and while not in the dorm had R' Max as a Rebbi. I would classify myself as atheist so not trying to save the faith here. While in CB while we heard stories such as what went on in Torah Temimah, there was never any indication ever from anyone that this took place in CB. Further, I actually remember you quite well from back in CB and was in Camp Morris same time as you. If I said my name you would know exactly who I am. In any case, while I don't claim to know the signs of molestation, I would think that as a teen if you were molested by a Rebbi in CB you would have exhibited some sign that something was off. Rather, as far as I can tell, this tirade of yours against R' Max started when your marriage went South... If you recall when you posted on FB, people told you to get some mental health counseling based on what you wrote.

Look, not saying that this did not happen, but based on what I know I am hesitant to believe your story now.

Uh, oh... I think police are looking for Karelefsky in connection with the fire this morning in Midwood by R' Max's house... Really hope he did not do it... I just tried posting a prior comment... In light of the seriousness of what is going on I would ask that this and that prior comment both do not get posted. At this point the police will be going through his backstory and there is no need to add my speculation to this.

I also heard he is connected to that fire. Wishing all those affected a speedy recovery/refuah shleima BezH. This sicko has a tattoo on his arm saying kill R Max. Very very sad.

I went to Chaim Berlin and knew Rabbi Max extremely well. I spent more time with him than others in my class and I can say there is zero chance any of this is true. He is the type of Rabbi who did everything to help his students in whatever way best suited their strengths. He is the reason I am still religious today. I would not believe any such rumor with any proof but my own eyes. Anyone who knows him doesn't need my assurances that this is a lie. I am posting for anyone who doesn't know him or will believe a lie just because. Zero percent chance. If it wasn't such a serious allegation I would laugh it off.
I hope everyone is ok from the fire.
