To Paraphrase Elya Brudny - Whenever Daskal attacks, and when he does the most atrocious things in the world, it is only because Hashem allowed it. Hashem, the Av Harachaman, deems it in our best interest. but we cannot forget that Hashem is allowing Daskal to do what he is doing...
Brooklyn Safety Patrol Leader Who Abused Girl Gets 17-Year Sentence ("So Obvious The New York Times Hates Orthodox Jews" Heard In Shul)
Jacob Daskal, head of a private Orthodox crime patrol, took a 15-year-old runaway to his upstate home. Her family thought he was helping.
After a 15-year-old girl had run away from her Brooklyn home in 2017, her relatives turned for help to a trusted figure: Jacob Daskal, the head of a private crime patrol called the Boro Park Shomrim Society.
The girl’s aunt and uncle asked Mr. Daskal to help find their niece a place to live and he offered his summer home in upstate New York. There, according to federal prosecutors, Mr. Daskal began months of sexual abuse that took place in New York State and Illinois.
On Wednesday a judge sentenced Mr. Daskal, who pleaded guilty last summer to transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, to 17 and a half years in prison, the maximum allowed under his plea agreement.
Before the sentencing, a prosecutor, Erin Reid, read a statement from Mr. Daskal’s victim, who wrote that he had subjected her to “nightly rape sessions” and emotional abuse, adding: “I will live with the pain of this trauma forever.”
Mr. Daskal also spoke, sobbing as he told the court that “words cannot capture the overwhelming shame and regret I feel.”
A defense memorandum had asked that Mr. Daskal, who had been free on bail, receive a lesser sentence, writing that he is “plagued by guilt” and will be “forever branded by the crime he committed.” In a letter to the judge, Mr. Daskal apologized, adding: “I know that I can never repair the damage I did to this girl.”
Mr. Daskal worked as a real estate property manager but was known for his role as a leader in the shomrim, the Hebrew word for “guards.” Various shomrim organizations have existed in New York City since the 1970s, serving as a sort of auxiliary police force for ultra-Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn neighborhoods like Borough Park, Crown Heights and Williamsburg.
The shomrim are valued by supporters for chasing thieves, searching for people who are missing and handling crowds at weddings and other events. But some men connected to the patrols have been accused of bullying, vigilantism and breaking the law. In 2016 a member of the Williamsburg shomrim was convicted of beating a Black student, who lost vision in one eye as a result. Later that year, Alex Lichtenstein, a member of the shomrim in Borough Park, pleaded guilty to bribing police officers for expedited handgun licenses.
The shomrim cultivate ties with police commanders, have served as liaisons with precincts and have received funding for equipment from elected officials. Members’ cars and clothing are typically emblazoned with logos that resemble that of the New York Police Department. Within Orthodox neighborhoods, the shomrim can be seen as more sympathetic or culturally attuned than the police.
Mr. Daskal was acting in his capacity as the Boro Park Shomrim Society’s founder and chief, prosecutors said, when he “coordinated efforts” with the teenage girl’s relatives who wanted to address their problems with her.
The girl moved into Mr. Daskal’s home in South Fallsburg, N.Y., in summer 2017, prosecutors said. On a Saturday in August, they said, Mr. Daskal called her into his bedroom, locked the door and sexually assaulted her.
Afterward, prosecutors said, Mr. Daskal sent text messages to her describing sexual fantasies, saying that he was “going to make her into a lady” and describing himself as a “father figure.”
The assaults continued, prosecutors said, taking place in his South Fallsburg home, about 90 miles northwest of New York City, where other members of his family were also living. They also happened in his car, when he took the girl from the home under the pretext of bringing her to see friends.
In fall 2017, prosecutors said, Mr. Daskal helped the girl’s parents enroll her in a school in Chicago. Mr. Daskal communicated with the girl by text message and video calls while she was living there, prosecutors said. Around early November, prosecutors said, Mr. Daskal flew to Chicago and picked the girl up at a driver’s education class, then sexually assaulted her in a hotel room.
In 2018, prosecutors said, as Mr. Daskal continued to try to contact the girl, she described the abuse to a mentor, who helped her go to the police. The F.B.I. searched two phones that Mr. Daskal had used and found what prosecutors said were “extensive chat communications between the defendant and the victim” including some that had been deleted but were recovered with forensic tools.
Prosecutors said that Mr. Daskal had told the girl to erase messages between them and said nobody would believe her if she described her encounters with him. At one point, prosecutors wrote, he asked her to write a letter stating that whatever sex they engaged in was “therapy” and that she loved him.
In a WhatsApp exchange cited by prosecutors, the girl asked whether a blood test could show that she had engaged in sex with him. Mr. Daskal told her not to worry.
“U know what my last name is,” he wrote. “Mr careful.”

I disagree. Rav Elya allows him to do it when he shirks his responsibilities as a leader, which makes him not fit for leadership.
Agudah raised concerns with the White House of particular relevancy to the frum community, such as being evacuated to countries where they would have problems with accommodations, getting kosher food, and Shabbos, and noted that the vast majority of Americans in Israel who went for Yom Tov are frum and could very well be contending with these issues. Agudah also presented suggestions from Agudah askonim that could broaden options and present more efficient ways of returning directly to the U.S.
In the previous thread someone makes a good point that Amudim appears to be involved in one cover up after another. Even with Ebstein who lured kids to molest with cookies at the bakery on Main St in Kew Gardens Hills, Chaim Schwartz & his puppetmasters at Queens Vaad let him continue there until they had absolutely no choice when Ebstein was finally convicted in Criminal Court. Schwartz & Schonfeld then, in a huge farce, gleefully jumped up & down like immature brats to boast that they are taking a down a molester. The two faced Shmelliot Pasik covered for Queens Vaad (which is a whole other story & was one of the red flags why JBAC collapsed due to him - Pasik making Shea Fishman run for the exits was a one off, perhaps due to a personal score to settle), and Gluck at Amudim was also making excuses at the time for Queens Vaad. Gluck is incidentally talmid of Faskowitz at Yeshiva Madraigas haAdam in Hillcrest. Faskowitz, who doesn't learn much because he's a political hocker, was fighting tooth & nail to protect his 1st cousin Mordechai Tendler & his mechuton Ephraim Bryks. Faskowitz was also involved with one of the bezunder vicious cover ups led by National Council of Young Israel gangster Steve "Ferd's Tuchess" Mostofsky.
Is UOJ aware of ANY instance that Amudim was instrumental in stopping a molester, whether before or after the Agudah Fressers had Rabbiner Brudny arrive on the scene to micromanage all the scandals?
House Republicans are gearing up to introduce a new bill aimed at halting the acceptance of potential Palestinian refugees who may emerge from the ongoing crisis in Gaza.
Experts, in conversation with The New York Post, have estimated that the Israeli bombardment of the densely populated Hamas-controlled enclave could lead to over a million refugees.
Reps. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) and Andy Ogles (R-TN) have disclosed their intention to introduce the “Guaranteeing Aggressors Zero Admission Act” (GAZA Act) imminently. Their goal is to prevent the Biden administration from granting visas to individuals holding Palestinian passports, thus blocking their entry into the United States. Additionally, the bill would bar the Department of Homeland Security from admitting Palestinians via the agency’s parole program.
Representative Tiffany expressed concerns over the potential misuse of parole and visa regulations by President Biden, drawing parallels with the unvetted Afghan evacuees. He emphasized the need for the GAZA Act as a safeguard for America’s national security.
It is noteworthy that some Palestinians shamefully celebrated the 9/11 attacks against the United States in the aftermath. Furthermore, the Palestinian people democratically elected Hamas to lead them in 2006. Given these historical factors, far-left lawmakers like New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman and their associates have already started advocating for the United States to welcome refugees from Gaza.
Bowman suggested that the international community, as well as the United States, should prepare to receive refugees from Palestine
