Congregation Beth Israel, which was the site of a hostage situation over the weekend, will host a special service Monday night at a Southlake church, the synagogue announced on Facebook.

The “Healing Service” is scheduled for 7 p.m. at White’s Chapel United Methodist Church in Southlake. It will be open to the public and livestreamed on the congregation’s Facebook page.

Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker will lead the service, the congregation said, “to help all of us to begin to put this terrible event behind us and be thankful for a good result.”

The rabbi and three others were held hostage for 11 hours during a Shabbat service Saturday at the Colleyville synagogue.

The congregation said social distancing and masks will be encouraged, and that there will be no filming at the service.

We believe that the Church (the capitalized C in Church represents the global and universal Church in contrast with the local congregation) is the body of YUSHKA, that it is an extension of YUSHKA'S life and ministry in the world today, and that its purpose and mission is to make disciples of YUSHKA PUNDRIK. We believe that the Church is ‘the communion of saints,’ a community made up of all past, present, and future followers of YUSHKA, and that the Church is called to worship God and to support those who participate in its life as they grow in faith.

Popular Haredi radio host accused of sexually assaulting multiple women

NEWLY FORMED BAIS DIN FOR HAREDI RADIO PERVERT HOSTS - REFORM JEW PERVERTS NOT WELCOME

 

 

Dudi Shwamenfeld has been named as the Haredi radio host accused by multiple women of sexual abuse.

News of the story broke earlier this month, when it emerged that at least six women had accused the then-unnamed radio host of sexual assault. Now, according to the Ynet news site, at least one of the complainants has filed an official police complaint against Shwamenfeld, a longtime host on the popular Kol Berama radio station that serves the ultra-Orthodox community.

The woman, now 31, told Ynet that she was 19 when she first heard Shwamenfeld’s radio show and decided to reach out to him via Facebook. “We started to correspond. At a certain point he suggested we meet, but I didn’t want to,” she said. But she said Shwamenfeld convinced her to meet and “promised it would be interesting.”

Shwamenfeld asked her to meet him inside his Bnei Brak apartment, she claimed, saying that he did not want to be seen in public with a woman. “I went upstairs to his home, we spoke a little… then he pushed me against the wall in a very aggressive way,” she said. She alleged that he forcibly kissed her and pushed his hand inside her underwear. “I tried to struggle, but he used his weight to block me,” she said, before he forced her into his bedroom and pinned her down on the bed.

“I shouted ‘get off me,’ but it didn’t help,” she told Ynet. “I went berserk, I fought him like in a movie, and he resisted even further.” She said she eventually managed to free herself and fled to the living room. He followed, grabbed her hand and forced her to touch his genitals, the woman alleged.

Shwamenfeld, who ran for Knesset unsuccessfully in 2015 with Eli Yishai’s now-defunct Yachad party, denied any such allegations.

As of Monday afternoon, Shwamenfeld was still listed on the Kol Berama website as one of its hosts, but he has not appeared on the show at all in 2022. On the January 2 episode, his co-host said Shwamenfeld was absent due to COVID; by January 12, Shwamenfeld’s name had been removed from the show’s intro; and on Sunday, a new recorded intro with Shwamenfeld’s replacement was put in place.

The claims against Shwamenfeld were publicized, without naming him, on January 4. The radio station did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

An attorney for Shwamenfeld claimed that the stories are fake and an attempt to smear his client and gain attention.

“Such anonymous publications are the refuge of every villain and coward,” the attorney told Ynet. “The temptation to publish false information about my client is high, especially these days, when attributing sexual abuse to the ultra-Orthodox gets a higher-than-usual rating.”

The story about Shwamenfeld was first published just days after the suicide of Chaim Walder, a popular Haredi author who was accused of multiple accounts of sexual assault and rape, including against minors.

The Walder story has been hailed as a potential turning point for the approach to sexual abuse cases within the Haredi community.

"To Stay Alive a 45"

 

Mayorkas, Garland and other US officials meet with Jewish groups to discuss synagogue security post-Colleyville

(JTA) — Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the United States considers the hostage-taking at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, “an act of terror” and “an antisemitic attack targeting the Jewish community,” according to a Jewish leader who joined a phone call with top U.S. officials Tuesday morning.

Majorkas, Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Chris Wray and other national security officials held a call with major Jewish groups Tuesday to discuss synagogue security concerns in the wake of the week’s hostage crisis in Texas.

The executive director for the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center, Nathan Diament, described the discussion to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency as a meeting of around 1,200 synagogue leaders, including representatives from the OU as well as the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Diament also said that representatives at the Union for Reform Judaism and United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism had been alerted.

Garland and Mayorkas, both of whom are Jewish, spoke about the personal resonance the attack has had for them, according to a report in the Forward. Mayorkas said he did not get to plant his annual tree for Tu B’Shvat as he normally does.

Garland described seeing police cars in front of his own synagogue. Garland and his family are longtime members of Temple Sinai in Bethesda, Maryland.

“This is not the way it should have to be in America, but unfortunately it is the way,” he said.

During the call, which lasted for more than an hour, federal officials reiterated security measures already in place, such as Nonprofit Security Grant Program funds available to synagogues, email information systems available for local congregations to sign up for and online resources for synagogue security training.

“The purpose of convening this Zoom in the wake of the terrible events in Texas was twofold,” Diament said. “One, we thought was important for the synagogue community to directly hear from these national leaders a message of reassurance and solidarity and commitment to combating antisemitism. And secondly, to also hear from them about the current threat environment and any top-line additional, practical steps that they ought to be taking in the coming days or weeks.”

Also on the call were Melissa Rogers, White House executive director of faith-based and neighborhood partnerships, and other federal undersecretaries.
