Chief Rabbi Lau visits shiva of alleged rapist Chaim Walder - Haim Walder was a suspected child rapist and serial sex offender who killed himself to avoid investigation and trial.
Rabbi Lau should be fired today from his government job which is financed by taxpayers. This is just the latest example of the moral bankruptcy of the chief rabbinate.
Lau was photographed in a tent that was set up outside the Walder home for the shiva.

| Ignoring Chaim Walder’s alleged victims, Chief Rabbi David Lau visited the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) author’s home on Tuesday night to comfort his family, who are sitting shiva. |
Walder was found dead in a cemetery on Monday in what is suspected to have been a suicide. He was facing multiple allegations of rape and sexual assault of minors since a Haaretz expose last month.
Walder was a well-known author of children’s and young adults’ books in the haredi world. His series Kids Speak (in Hebrew, Yeladim Mesaprim al Atzmam) has sold more than two million copies in communities across Israel and the Diaspora.

He was accused of raping minors and young adults, all of whom he met in his line of work as a therapist and children’s author.

Lau’s
visit to the shiva drew condemnations across social media particularly
due to his silence on the Walder affair and not saying anything about
the author’s alleged victims. So far, more than 20 testimonies have been
brought to the rabbinical court in Safed that had convened to hear the
accusations.
Stop the חילול השם. Morally and ethically, Israel can ill afford hereditary taxpayer-funded sinecures for clerics. Do away with the State Rabbinate. End divisive parochial control of Judaism in Israel. It would be a blessing. Amen. https://t.co/fZhyxc6wie— Elliot Jager אליוט ג'גר (@JAGERFILE) December 29, 2021

The
haredi media also ignored the victims and reported on the death of
“Rabbi Haim Walder” without mentioning the severe allegations that were
brought against him.

Didn't Dovid Lau also abuse his position to help his machshayfa Drama Queen cousin Lonna Kin-Ralbag? He can't get her ex arrested because he's too scared to enter the country but he had her ex-shvigger's levaya held up in spite
For kicks and giggles, I'm going to suggest a counter-argument to see what the responses are:
Walder sinned. His family did not. Did they know anything about what was going on? Did they participated? Or were they likely horrified and humiliated by the revelations? And then he committed suicide, another blow to them.
So was Rav Lau going there to honour Walder or comfort the mourners? Is the implication that the mourners who didn't commit the crimes are not to be comforted?

Excuse me?!!!!!!
As in, I am just raising it for the sake of argument, not because I agree with it.
Logic of the Ass-konim who are manipulating Rav Edelstein apparently does not work both ways according to them.
The Ass-konim have blood on their hands for driving Shira to mental illness & suicide.

Shira (Hashem yinkoim dama) had barely a minyan by her levaya today while Walder ymach shmoy had thousands of filthy tush kissers show up.

Hey --- great to see you back.
ex-CEO is right
Even R' Malkiel was maskim he had to go. Aaron was of course all lawyered up in case they didn't give him a goldeneh enough parachute when they kicked his rear end out the door.
Scheinerman, you @#$%!
Whaddyyya know - Old Timers Day - @UOJ
I am against driving someone to suicide of any kind!
(And as a Monn d'Omar, I'm also baleydikt that Boom Boom would omit yours truly from the list of nichbodim)

Regarding the ex-CEO, I would've said "UOJ gets results", except that for a change, UOJ caught a break because someone else lifted a finger to deal with a Klal problem. It was actually Louis Scheiner who convinced the roshei yeshiva & BMG Board that it was long past due to give him the heave ho.

The jury is deliberating if Scheiner can pull this off over the long haul! You heard it here first :-)
