Who am i? פרק ב

Preface:

It is now 2 hours after Yom Kippur, and I took upon myself this Yom Kippur to fight pedophillia and its supporters with all my power and capabilities, and it is with that in mind that I decided to post something tonight, so I get started with my mission.

Let me tell you guys out there. I will prevail and I will succeed. I will fight until every NAMBLA member and every molester is defeated. Rabbi nuchem has already made an unbelievable impact on this topic and his support is high, but before you know it, it will be “politically correct” to support him in the open.

In this פרק ב Part 2, I will take an overall look on why bad things happen in this world. And why G-d allows those things to happen to poor little innocent kids.  And in the final part 3, I will tie it all together on why we must report child abuse – molestation and pedophilia and why these rabbis are so wrong in protecting these evil scums.

I want to concentrate on these Rabbis who throw everything on G-d and don’t have the guts to take a stand on good vs. wrong. They don’t have the guts to speak out when it’s necessary to do so and therefore keep saying “G-d will punish him already” what an absolute copout that line is. If you don’t have the guts to make a call and to take a stand on issues that are “borderline” or not so “popular” in the community, then GET THE HELL OUT! Don’t call yourself a Rabbi and don’t preach other stuff where you only gain! Don’t give a speech on Yom Kippur asking your congregates to repent, when you don’t have the guts to speak about the real issues.

Why are innocent little kids being abused? Where is G-d?

Let me clarify. When I say "Why do bad things happen to good people," this can mean one of two things. If you listen to the question carefully, it's assuming G-d's existence. People say: I know there's a G-d, but I want to understand: Is this G-d good? And if he is good, then why do bad things happen to good people?

Alternatively, the question "Why do bad things happen to good people," “Why are innocent little kids being abused” may really be asking "I'm not sure that G-d exists." That's a completely different question. The question of G-d's existence has nothing to do with the issue of suffering. It has to do with creation, revelation at Sinai, world history, etc. So we should be clear that the question we are dealing with here is not "Does G-d exist?" It's "Why do bad things happen to good people?"

In order for us to be able to "judge G-d", we have to be able to look at what are G-d's "ground rules" for existence. Using this premise, it becomes very difficult to judge G-d. Why? Because we are stuck in a finite perspective of time and space, and we can therefore never be sure which rules G-d is employing at any given moment.

In discussing this issue, I am not going to give an answer as to why particular things happen in a particular situation. Only a prophet can do that and it's been a long time since G-d spoke to me! What we can do is look at general approaches that Judaism offers, to at least get a general sense of what the possibilities are for why things happen.

Here's an analogy: A physicist can tell you why a leaf will fall in a particular place – it has to do with the aerodynamics of the leaf, the force of gravity, and the direction and velocity of the wind. But if you ask that physicist where a certain leaf is going to fall, he is not going to be able to tell you, because he can't precisely quantify the different forces that make a leaf fall in a particular place. He can give you the general principles, but he can't give you a precise analysis of a specific situation.

It's the same idea here. We won't be able to say why specific things are happening in a specific situation, but we will be able to speak about general principles that can lead us to understand the workings of a good G-d.

Choice and consequences is One crucial idea to get us started:

It is written in the Torah" "כי בצלם אלוהים, עשה את האדם - meaning: The human was created in the image of G-d. Obviously the "image of God" is dealing with the non-physical part of us - the soul. Where do we get our drive for morality and meaning, our drive to make a difference? That drive is from the soul which is in the "image of God."But there's more to it than that. Just as God has independent choice, so too does each human being have independent moral choice. The image of God means that we have the ability to choose.

Why is choice the essential issue of what makes us special? Because, if you think about it, life only becomes meaningful because of our ability to choose. For example, the difference in being "programmed to love" and the choice to love, is precisely what makes love significant. Similarly, if I don't have the choice to do good, but am programmed to do good, then there's nothing meaningful about it. Whereas, if I have the ability to do good or evil, then good becomes significant.

But it goes deeper still. For choice to be authentic, there have to be consequences. If every time I get in trouble, dad comes to bail me out, that's not really choice. Choice means consequences. Think about it. All of history – whether in our personal lives or from a global perspective - is based on the decisions that human beings have made - and the consequences that flow from that.

So now we can understand that "image of God" means that God created beings that have the ability to make decisions, and those decisions will create consequences that will make this being a co-partner in the development of the world. This has many ramifications as far as "why bad things happen to good people" and certainly you can start seeing it already.

Now I think we're ready to examine eight ground rules which Judaism spells out for how God interacts with the world.

#1: THE POSSIBILITY OF EVIL

For free choice to operate, it's obvious that evil has to have the possibility of existing. If every time someone chooses to do evil, God is going to interfere, then there's no moral choice. If every time the gun is pointed, the turret points backwards, after a few times you get the message. If you eat pork and get struck by lightning, then you're not "morally choosing," you just see it doesn't work. It simply becomes pragmatic not to do evil.

If the lives of the righteous were obviously perfect, that too would destroy the possibility of choice. Pragmatically, we'd figure it pays more to be righteous because look at the millions of bucks that come my way! That's not choice. That's not becoming God-like.

A world where a human being can create himself into a Moses, also carries the possibility of a person creating himself into a Hitler.

Sometimes God does make a miracle, but it is always in a way that is not obvious, that enables us to retain free choice.

After the Exodus from Egypt when the Red Sea split, it was obvious to everyone that God had performed a miracle. Yet the Torah tells us "that a strong east wind blew all night".  Why was there a strong wind blowing? Because God had to leave open at least the possibility for someone to say, "No, there was no miracle. It was a fluke of nature and the wind split the sea."

In the recent Gulf War, 39 Scud Missiles rained down on Israel and only one person was killed. What would it take for that to happen? Guaranteed you would have told me it would take a miracle, but it happened and we still have doubt.

#2: INTERVENTION

In Genesis 15:13, God tells Abraham, "Know that your descendents are going to be enslaved in a land they don't know," which of course ends up being Egypt. So the Jewish philosophers ask: "If God wanted the Jewish people to be enslaved in Egypt, why did he punish the Egyptians?" Tough question!

Nachmanides explains: "All God said is that they would be enslaved. He said nothing about torture and murder. God only said that he wanted a certain something to happen, but the Egyptians took it beyond that." Now the question is, "Do the Jewish people deserve intervention or not?" Different story.

In Deuteronomy, Moses says that the fate of people depends on our relationship to God. The more we move closer to Him, the more He moves closer to us. The more we move away from him, the more He does the same. The language used is "God hides His face." And when that happens, this leaves us open to the free will decisions of human beings. At times God does not intervene.

We have to appreciate that in the Holocaust, it was not God who built the crematoriums, it was the Nazis. It is not God who is massacring Moslems in Bosnia, it is the Serbs. Which of course raises the question: Why isn't God interfering? But do you see the difference between "God doing this" and "why is God not interfering?"

King David said, "God, I'd rather have direct punishment from you than to fall into the hands of a human being." Because that's dangerous stuff. Will you merit to have God intervene?

#3: ETERNITY

The question of "why do bad things happen to good people" has a lot to do with how we look at existence. The way we usually perceive things is like this: A "good life" means that I make a comfortable living, I enjoy good health, and then I die peacefully at age 80. That's a good life. Anything else is "bad."

In a limited sense, that's true. But if we have a soul and there is such a thing as eternity, then that changes the picture entirely. Eighty years in the face of eternity is not such a big deal.

From Judaism's perspective, our eternal soul is as real as our thumb. This is the world of doing, and the "world to come" is where we experience the eternal reality of whatever we've become. Do you think after being responsible for the torture and deaths of millions of people, that Hitler could really "end it all" by just swallowing some poison? No. Ultimate justice is found in another dimension.

But the concept goes much deeper. From an eternal view, if the ultimate pleasure we're going after is transcendence - the eternal relationship with the Almighty Himself, then who would be luckier: Someone who lives an easy life with little connection to God, or someone who is born handicapped, and despite the challenges, develops a connection with God. Who would be "luckier" in terms of eternal existence? All I'm trying to point out is that the rules of life start to look different from the point of view of eternity, as opposed to just the 70 or 80 years we have on earth.

#4: THE BIG PICTURE

I heard a cute story I'd like to share. There once was a farmer who owned a horse. And one day the horse ran away. All the people in the town came to console him because of the loss. "Oh, I don't know," said the farmer, "maybe it's a bad thing and maybe it's not."

A few days later, the horse returned to the farm accompanied by 20 other horses. (Apparently he had found some wild horses and made friends!) All the townspeople came to congratulate him: "Now you have a stable full of horses!" "Oh, I don't know," said the farmer, "maybe it's a good thing and maybe it's not."

A few days later, the farmer's son was out riding one of the new horses. The horse got wild and threw him off, breaking the son's leg. So all the people in town came to console the farmer because of the accident. "Oh, I don't know," said the farmer, "maybe it's a bad thing and maybe it's not."

A few days later, the government declared war and instituted a draft of all able-bodied young men. They came to the town and carted off hundreds of young men, except for the farmer's son who had a broken leg. "Now I know," said the farmer, "that it was a good thing my horse ran away."

The point of this story is obvious. Life is a series of events, and until we've reached the end of the series, it's hard to know exactly why things are happening. That's one reason the Torah commands us to give respect to every elderly person – because through the course of life experience, they have seen the jigsaw puzzle pieces fall into place.

The Torah itself makes this point very clearly. Jacob is raising the next generation of the Jewish people, bringing to the world the message of Ethical Monotheism. And the key character in that picture is his son Joseph, who is kidnapped by his own brothers and sent down to Egypt. Imagine you would come to Jacob at that point in time and ask him about a good God. What's he going to answer?

In Egypt, Joseph became Prime Minister, and when a grave famine hits the entire world, Joseph is a unique position to rescue his family.

When we look at the whole story in retrospect, everything that happened to Joseph was for the good. It set into motion a chain of events where he ended up saving and building the Jewish people.

It is interesting that one of the weekly Torah portions, "Miketz," ends on a bad note, and is then resolved at the beginning of the following week. Why didn't the Torah simply extend "Miketz" a few verses and have it end good? Because the Troah wants to communicate the lesson that we don't always see the whole picture. Sometimes you have to wait to see how "things turn out good in end."

#5: OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH

Sometimes what we perceive as punishment is really an opportunity for growth. In the story of the "Binding of Isaac," the Torah says that "God tested Abraham." The question is: Doesn't God know what Abraham is capable of? So who's the test for? It can't be for God. It must be for Abraham.

What does it mean to be tested? You have potential. Was this test a "punishment" for Abraham? Of course not. It was an opportunity for growth. The Abraham before the test is not the same Abraham after the test.

Imagine a track coach training an athlete in the 110-meter high hurdles. The coach would start with the hurdles low, and then raise them steadily as the athlete progressed. Raising the hurdles is not a punishment; rather it shows the coach's increasing confidence in the athlete's ability.

I hear this following line over and over again: "When this event happened in my life, it seemed so negative; now I understand why it was there and how I grew from it".

Not too long ago, a very dynamic woman I know, almost died. Her heart stopped on the table. She tells me it was the best thing that ever happened to her. "I was in overdrive, running and doing. That event got me to think: What's it all about?" And what this woman has accomplished in the last few years in personal growth is unbelievable. She's convinced that her suffering was integral to the growth process.

In Judaism, we look at life as "I'm here for growth, so how does this situation help me to change and grow?" When God is telling you to sacrifice your only son, can there be any greater punishment? Yet it changed the whole future of the Jewish people. "Tests" can change your future, too.

#6: BORN TO SUFFER

The Talmud (Yoma 35) tells the famous story of the sage Hillel. At the time, the head of the yeshiva wanted to make sure that the people who came to study Torah wanted it for the right reasons, and not for self-aggrandizement. So in order to test people's motivation, he charged money to enter the yeshiva.

Hillel was as poor and impoverished as they come. In the winter, he wanted so much to study that he climbed up to the roof by the skylight, and then became so enraptured with his studies that he didn't realize he'd become frozen in. The next morning it was dark in the study hall. So they looked up and saw a person's body. They brought him down and thawed him out.

The Talmud states: "Hillel obligates the poor." That means that Hillel takes away the excuse that we didn't accomplish what we were supposed to in life due to lack of money. Hillel serves as a beacon that even in poverty, one can still become the greatest of the great (which Hillel was).

Was Hillel punished or was this his reason for being here? The Talmud tells us this was his reason for being here. You don't know why a particular situation might be happening. We each have our own package. Each one of us is put here for a particular purpose. Sometimes "suffering" may actually be the reason we were put here. Maybe this is, so to speak, our glory, our unique contribution.

#7: INDIVIDUAL & COMMUNITY

We are living in a very complex world and in a complex world, God doesn't only deal with individuals, he also deals with nations.

When God decided to destroy Sodom and Gomorra, Abraham complained. He asked God, "If I can find 50 righteous people in Sodom and Gomorra, will you spare the cities?" God said, "No problem, I won't destroy it." Abraham bargained with God until he got down to 10 righteous people and God said, "Okay, if you can find 10 righteous people I won't destroy it."

Why did Abraham stop at 10? Why didn't he go down to one?

Because Abraham knew if there's a group of people who are righteous, then society might turn around – you can't destroy them. Ten is still a group, under 10 is just individuals. A few righteous individuals is not enough to save Sodom and Gomorra.

Another question: Now that God decided to destroy it, do these righteous individuals merit to be spared themselves? The answer is that while these individuals were not the catalyst for the disaster, but now that the disaster is going to happen, you need a tremendous amount of merit to be saved from it in a miraculous way. God deals both on a national realm and on an individual realm. And that complicates our understanding of the equation.

#8: THE BENEFITS OF PUNISHMENT

Unfortunately, the way a lot of Jews relate to punishment has been very heavily influenced by Christianity, which is that God is always ready to get me with "fire and brimstone." No offense, but the Jewish idea is much different. God is our merciful Father. He's an infinite being that has no needs. Punishment cannot mean that He's "getting something." And this is the key to understanding the concept of chastisement.

When you think about it, all relationships are based on reward and punishment. When I bring my wife flowers, she smiles. If it's her birthday and I don't bring her flowers, I get punished, either by a burnt dinner, cold shoulder, etc. Relationships that are based on love always play themselves out in terms of reward and punishment. When I do what's right, I receive positive reinforcement, when I do what's wrong I receive "punishment."

What happens if my wife would always react the same regardless of whether or not I bring her flowers? That's the worst possible thing in a relationship - indifference.

Judaism says that punishment exists because God is reacting to the fact that I've done something wrong and He wants me to change. Hopefully I'll hear the message and learn from that. God is not out for revenge. He's doing this for my own good. If He wouldn't react to my negative behavior that would be the worst punishment of all - because that would mean indifference.

This is why King David says   גַּם כִּי-אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת, לֹא-אִירָא רָע--    כִּי-אַתָּה עִמָּדִי;

שִׁבְטְךָ וּמִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ,    הֵמָּה יְנַחֲמֻנִי"

Your rod and your staff comfort me." Even though I may get "hit" once in a while, I know it is ultimately for my own good.

In the next (Final) part, I will bring it all together and explain to you how wrong the Rabbis are and how they better get their act together quickly, or they risk of putting the whole “religious way of living in America” is in Jeopardy.

I want to wish a גמר חתימה טובה and a Happy new year to all Jewish people all over the world.

Remember, no matter what level of Judaism you are practicing, G-d loves you; G-d loves every Jewish soul except a molester, as it is specifically written in many places in the Torah!

May G-d Grant us a year full of life, a year full of good, a Year full happiness, A year of safe streets and may he watch over our children and families and bring us the ultimate prize of Moshiach . Amen

May G-d also give all the victims an extra dose of courage, strength and power so they can overcome their challenges and continue with a healthy productive life they so much deserve.

 

I also want to wish for Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg a  גמר חתימה טובה, The man who single handedly is responsible for cleaning up our streets and doing it non-stop, even though they tried to kill him and shut him down.

May G-d  give you health and strength to go on with your holy work and soon the whole world will see that you are a hero and a soldier of G-d.

See you all on Sunday

Who am i? פרק א

My dear readers,

I am about to open up to you in a way that I never was able to, never had the strength and never thought that this day will come. But through the help and support from Rabbi Nuchem, through the tireless and diligent help he has given me, through the bravery he has installed in me, it has given me the courage that I never had.

As you will see from this post. I am a heimisher guy from the frum community in Brooklyn. I was molested as a child for a long period of time, and went through hell for quite a while. The least I can do these days, is to help others and educate the public. And let me publicly thank Rabbi Nuchem up front. If not for his dedication and commitment to help a total stranger על מנת שלא לקבל פרס and tireless effort to give me all the encouragement and support to continue with life and civility, I would’ve long be dead or at the least a drug-addicted  homeless man.

So thank you Rabbi Nuchem for saving my life, for saving my kids, for saving my family and for being responsible for generations of yiddisher people. "אשריך", בעולם הזה; "וטוב לך", לעולם הבא I have no doubt in my mind that you will be seating on the head table in the עולם הבא  right next to  אברהם אבינו and all the other sages of our rich history.

The Talmud tells the story of Rabbi Elisha Ben Abuha, a famous scholar who became a non-believer as a result of two incidents that he experienced.

1. Rabbi Elisha was walking one day and he saw a father and son near a tree which contained a bird's nest. The Torah has many laws about not hurting animals needlessly. One of these laws is that if you're about to take an egg from the nest, you must first chase the mother bird away so she doesn't suffer the pain of seeing her egg being taken away. So the father tells the son, "Here's your chance to fulfill this mitzvah. Climb up the tree, shoo away the mother bird, and take the egg." The child climbed up, fell down and died. Rabbi Elisha thought that "if God could allow this to happen, then I don't want to have anything to do with Him."

2. During the Roman persecutions after the destruction of the Second Temple, many of the great Sages were tortured to death in the most horrible ways imaginable. On Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av, we recall these 10 famous martyrs. One of them was Rabbi Elisha's teacher, Rabbi Chutzpas. Rabbi Elisha watched his beloved teacher's tongue being ripped out by the Romans and tortured to death, after which they did not permit his body to be buried. Rabbi Elisha thought that "if God can allow this to happen, then I don't want to have anything to do with Him."

Rabbi Elisha was one of the greatest Sages in Jewish history, on an extremely high spiritual level. So we don't understand his particular challenge. But as it applies to us, we can learn the following: Even though you may have dealt intellectually with the issue of "why bad things happen to good people," when faced with actual suffering, you can still lose it.

By the way, suffering is the only issue that the Talmud talks about which leads to someone losing their belief in God. This indicates that it is the single most difficult issue in our relationship to God.

People approach the topic of suffering from two separate perspectives. One is the "intellectual agenda:" A person is bothered by this issue and wants to intellectually understand it. The other is the "emotional agenda:" A person may right now be suffering (or know someone who is suffering), and it is bothersome emotionally. It's important to understand that these two agendas don't always coincide. Someone with an intellectual agenda wants answers, whereas someone with an emotional agenda is looking for relief. An approach for one won't work for another.

Myself, I have witnessed the most horrendous situations imaginable. I have experienced someone 17 years old who lost both of her parents in a car crash. Can you imagine a girl so close to her parents and in one day they're gone? I've lived through, a husband coming home to find that his wife has collapsed, and in two days she's dead. There was nothing wrong with her before.

On a more personal level, I was molested as a child for close to three years by the principal of my Yeshiva, and it was extremely painful then, and even worst twenty years later. I now have married children and grown grandchildren, but in my 20s there were days when I was lost, there were days when I was suicidal, there were days when I cursed G-D out loud, there was a period of five years that I was completely angry with G-D, I did not pray, did not eat kosher, did not keep shabbas, ate on Yom Kippur even though I was not hungry and most of all I was totally miserable.

Now, when someone is in the midst of suffering, that's not the time to offer answers, It's a time to listen and empathize and say things that can provide comfort. I did not try to hear any answers I  will be discussing, because when a situation is so emotionally wrenching it's not the time for answers. Rather it's a time to show compassion and empathy and be with the person as best you can. So let me just state in advance that i will only deal with the "intellectual agenda" that I was missing when I had hell on earth. If there's anyone going through a painful time and is looking for a sense of relief, I am skeptical whether these intellectual answers will offer any kind of relief, it did not work for me at that time, and I doubt it will work for you. If you are still at that phase, please contact a counselor, or contact Rabbi Nuchem and he will lead you to a professional and try to give you your life back. DO NOT contact a Rabbi, because it will put you in a depression and will make you feel even worst. I made that mistake a while back, and it almost cost me everything I have worked for

The face of Evil!

I am posting some details of this case  that is still ongoing. I want to bring out a couple of points that are very important.

The story of Elior chen אליאור חן shook up the whole country in Israel. Pedophile and molester אליאור חן Elior Chen, the “self-appointed” rabbi who influenced some of his followers to abuse their children in order to "correct their corrupt souls," was extradited back to Israel after this 29 year old scumbag fled to Brazil more than a year ago after a terrifying affair of child abuse in a religious family in Jerusalem was exposed.

Chen's alleged crimes came to light after two brothers, an unconscious three-year-old and his four-and-a-half-year-old brother, were rushed to the hospital on March 12, 2008 in serious condition.
In the following two videos, you will hear from these poor little children. Your heart will break when you see the kind of torture and abuse these innocent souls went through.


According to prosecutors, Chen instructed the mother of the family and others to beat the children severely, saying this would mend their behavior. The two children were reportedly beaten with hammers, knives and other instruments. Their mother, who agreed to a plea bargain, said those were just some of the crimes.
Chen will likely be charged with abusing minors, soliciting to abuse minors, assaulting minors and conspiracy to commit a crime.However, the prosecution may drop several of the charges in compliance with the extradition agreement.

According to Israeli newspaper Marraiv Chen boarded the aircraft before the rest of the passengers accompanied by an Israeli detective. He tried to injure himself, began ranting and screaming, yelling the extradition was not legal, prompting local policemen to forcefully sit him down in his seat.

Moments before his remand hearing was scheduled to begin at the Jerusalem Magistrates Court Elior Chen was seen smiling and at ease. Despite the heavy charges he faces, he responded briefly on camera to questions posed by Channel 2. According to reports, Chen spent his first night in Israeli custody chained to his bed to prevent him from trying to harm himself to avoid standing trial. When asked whether he was still chained to his bed, he looked at the police investigator sitting alongside him and shook his head.
The man suspected of sadistic child abuse told the news channel he was treated well by his jailors. When told he is not considered especially popular among the general public, his reply was "tzarot Yisrael."
The self-styled rabbi,  is suspected of instructing his followers to carry out violent tikkunim against their own children, and in some cases of abusing them himself. The tikkunim included appalling acts such as binding, burning limbs and feeding children feces. One of the children abused by Chens followers has been comatose since the case came to light a year and a half ago.


“Satan in the form of a Rabbi” are the words the children who suffered abuse at his hands use to describe Elior Chen, the man currently sitting in jail.

A year and a half after the story came to light and the day after a serious charge sheet was filed against Elior Chen, the children spoke out for the first time since the extradition to Israel two weeks ago, in an exclusive interview for Israeli news site Kikar

They have not forgotten the suffering they underwent, relive those harrowing moments, feel the burns and scars left on their bodies and the loss of the mother serving a prison sentence.

Their little brother, who remains in a vegetative state, makes it impossible for them to forget the horror. Recently he returned to his home for the first time in 18 months, lying on a special bed that cost thousands of dollars, silently gazing as his happy siblings surrounded him.
The children have heard the various claims Elior Chen is innocent, making them boil with rage. Our bodies are full of burns and scars from what he did. How can someone say it didn’t happen? Another child notes that there are people who deny the Holocaust happened.
Upon hearing the name Elior Chen preceded by the word rov, the children burst out in objection. He’s a rov? He’s Satan disguised as a rov.
They say they will never forgive him. There is no mechiloh for what he did to our family.

Elior Chens father, who claims his son is innocent, has stated he wishes everyone could have such a tzaddik for a son. In response one of the girls in the shattered family says, I wish his sons were like my little brother, the one lying as a vegetable in the hospital.

Were Elior Chens fate left in the hands of the children he abused, he would suffer a similar fate. I would burn him until he died, just like he burned me, says one of the boys. I would cut him up with a sword, adds another.

Their father is also enraged over Elior Chens claims of innocence. He has a lot of chutzpah not to admit to it. That’s part of his wickedness. This man is dangerous. Even if he spends 30 years behind bars, he will still be a danger to the public.
Time has not healed the wounds. The father does not work, but spends all his time taking care of the eight children. They live in hiding. Their friends at school have no inkling of the nightmare they went through. They always keep their scars out of sight and never have friends visit their motherless home.

The mother of these children received a five-year prison term earlier this year. She was found guilty of violently throwing the children around by their arms and legs, leaving a child in an electric oven until his hair burned, placing a child in a suitcase for three days, feeding a child excrement and other extreme acts of abuse. She received a lenient sentence in exchange for testifying against Chen and others.

The despicable skunk himself was not charged with attempted murder, but the indictment claims that he abused and assaulted minors in eight separate cases. In addition, he allegedly encouraged members of the group he led to make “corrections” in their children by shaking, beating, binding, and burning them. He also instructed his followers to withhold food and drink from their children and to feed them excrement.

His wife requested a divorce (“get”) from him, but he told a rabbinical court that he is refusing to grant a get, or Jewish divorce, to the mother of his alleged victims.  What did you expect?

Summary.

This story was only discovered after the children were so badly beaten that they were transferred to the hospital unconscious, but cases that are less physical (but just as emotionally painful) can go on for years and years with out being noticed. There have been men and women that endured 15 – 20 years of abuse and only spoke out in their later years.

Look at this evils face. You would never think that a man looking like this is capable of such vile acts, but as you can see he did it and went brought to court he did not show an iota of remorse. Sounds familiar Mr. Lebowitz?

What’s even worse is that this slime ball has a group of animals that support him still now! It should really not shock us at all, since we are used to these kind of behavior. But this is the world we live in today.

Therefore my dear rabbis. You keep asking the women to wear short wigs, and long skirts,  shift the blame on them constantly, and when something bad happens in the community, just blame it on one of the above or on your latest cry, the women chatting on the blackberrys in middle of the streets. But the pedophile subject, that’s really minor and isolated, so no big worries there.

עשה לך רב, וקנה לך חבר

If you look at the history of Chassidic dynasties and how positions of Rabbis have been passed down from generation to generation, you will see that up to approx 50 years ago it was totally different then it has become today.

Once upon a time: When a rabbi died, they picked his biggest Talmud or talmidum to replace him, and this is how they choose his successor. The בעל שם טוב (Baal Shem Tov) was replaced by many of his Talmidum. i.e יעקב יוסף הכהן. (Rabbi Yacov Yoseph HaKohain of Polonne) and דוב בער ממזריטש (Rabbi Dov Ber of Mezeritch) and this is how it went on for generations.

If you even want to go back to times of Moshe Rabeiny. He was not succeeded by his kids, but rather by Yehoushua Ben Nin. It always worked with the same structure. The people were looking for a man worthy of taking over the responsibilities and continuing in the foot steps of it predecessor
Today: the Rabbi Dies and baboom! Overnight we have a replacement. His oldest son is the new rabbi, no questions asked! (sometimes there are 2 replacements) but never the less there is not even an option of looking into the community , perhaps there is a man in the community that deserves that position, or would be more capable and worthy of that position.

So the obvious question here is, If you went to a doctor for 20 years and he dies, would you continue going for medical appointments to his son who is a bus driver, or would you look for a new doctor in the community that is capable of giving you the care you deserve?
Furthermore, if your neighbors tell you “We must support the doctors son to continue the legacy and to show support for the poor family” would you even for one second continue to go to the son, or you would burst out laughing at everyone.
Can you explain to me the difference?

We have rabbis today, that have no capabilities or credentials to be a rabbi other than the sperm they got from there parents! They are not up for the job! They are not strong enough to take a stand! They are not qualified to teach other people how to live! They are not educated on how to be a Rabbi!

Yet when it comes to make a decision or a “Kol Koreh” they sign their names as there is some validity to it.
Millions of people are eating Kosher food because of a stamp by a particular Rabbi who has no clue whatsoever on the rules and regulations of kashrus, and there is no one to say boo!
Rabbis running schools for little children with absolute no diploma, education, training, or any kind of qualifications, and hiring teachers that have the same exact education, and these are the people you entrust your little children with 7-8 hours a day?
You have a problem with Rabbi Nuchem exposing these Rabbis and calling them names? I will tell you that every Rabbi R’ Nuchem exposed was justified one million percent

Yisroer Hager has been a molester at the age of 17 but continued well into his twenties. Then the community became conscious that this is a future rabbi of this community, they started controlling him and watching him and taught him how to behave so he can hold face in the later years.

That same crew is still controlling Mendele from Boro park that is still calling young Jewish mothers as of today. (I have spoken with a 27 year old woman in boro park that has been pressured by him on a daily basis to sleep with him). Great to see the family tradition continuing from generation to the next.

The Kossever Chazir (pig) has done everything in his power to protect the sexual predators in the name of Torah. He has offered victims of Baruch Lebowits large amount of money, due to the fact that Lebowitz did teshuva and repented. This is the biggest joke of all, because Lebowitz is still claiming innocence and still didn’t apologized to his multiple victims that came forward (let alone the ones that didn’t have the courage to come forward).

He has also tried to keep similar cases under the covers and protected sexual predators in his community. Shameful!

The dinever rabbi is protecting and withholding the names of young children that scumbag Daskalowitz has molested right under his nose. His synagogue on Franklin Ave. was the site of numerous mishaps and he knows the victims and refuses to disclose them t the authorities. The same goes to the Brashower rabbi and his Yoily Liberman shammas.

The bottom line is very clear that these rabbis are no rabbis, their verdicts are no verdicts, and their teaching is no teaching. You are talking about self appointed Rabbis with no qualifications whatsoever, and people on the other side keep complaining that Rabbi Rosenberg is self appointed!

I ask you people in the community. אם אין אני לי, מי לי; וכשאני לעצמי, מה אני; ואם לא עכשיו, אימתיי. NO ONE will look out for you and your children, if you don’t do it yourselves. I don’t have to educate you on the hypocrisy in this community and on the politics in every aspect of today’s rabbis.

Please stand up for your kids! Stand up for humanity! Stand up for what’s right! Stand up for a life of pain-free for our little kids and a lifetime of pain once they are victims!

Get together with other parents of your kids schools and form an alliance. ITS DONE ALL OVER THE WORLD! Why don’t WE deserve the same protection for OUR little jewels? Don’t wait until it’s too late! Every day that passes and something was not done, it increases the chances of something bad happening to your kid! Talk to victims parents, they always kept saying “No! It wont happen to MY kid” the pain is so terrible afterwards, and it’s even worst knowing that you could’ve done something and you didn’t!

רבי אלעזר בן עזריה אומר אם אין דרך ארץ אין תורה

Hush Hush Hush

I am reposting this video again due to the fact that people didn’t have a chance to see it and keep asking me for it.

This video has been posted on you tube, under all kind of labels like: “Mr. Weiss making a chilul hashem” “Shlomo is lying” and it has been taken off the net due to pressure by the community, but we finally have a copy of it and we will keep it on the front burner, that people see what’s going on in our community.

Someone asked me “Why are you busy every day with these pedophiles”? “Why are you constantly posting videos from NON-JEWISH people that seem to be anti-Semitic”?

I will tell you why! Because as long as there are still people and Rabbis that are blind to this problem and do nothing about it, I MUST continue showing everyone the sad reality. And I will repeat this again and again and again and again until the “leaders” in this community take action openly! Not the bull-shit they claim “behind the scenes”.

Mr. Weiss, You are a hero my friend, and if one more child will come forward because of you, it was worthy! I wish you success in your difficult road ahead! Don’t let these scumbags intimidate you!

This Judge is my Hero

Happy New Year everyone, and let us hope for a year free of abusers, molesters and pedophilia in our community.

I had to share with you this video of a judge sentencing a child molester to TWO life terms in prison, and then he goes off on the mother of the children for not paying close attention and not coming forward.

I would give this Judge a Kvitel, before any other rabbi I know! This is a respected man in my opinion.

Pay close attention everyone! This animal raped a 6 year old and an 8 year old and shocking! He was the stepfather of the kids!




The following video is the grief of a father, and how he stood up to the molester and rapist, instead of hush-hush white washing and hiding that you see in our community.

This is the only way to clean our streets. When will you people realize that?


Another option: hmmmmm

Watch your children on Rosh Hashanna!

This Video has a little foul language (viewer discretion is advised), but I must say this 23 year old girl has more brains and heart than 90% of our Rabbis.


The following is the story to what this woman is referring to. How sad!

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Six-year-old Christopher Michael Barrios was laid to rest Thursday, a day after a convicted child molester and his family were indicted for sexually abusing and killing the Georgia boy.

According to an indictment issued Wednesday, convicted child molester George Edenfield and his father took turns sexually assaulting Christopher while the molester's mother watched, then they choked the boy to death.

The indictment charges all three family members with murder and child molestation in the slaying of Christopher, whose body was found March 15 inside a trash bag dumped by a roadside.

District Attorney Stephen D. Kelley said he will seek the death penalty against 32-year-old George David Edenfield, who has a prior child molestation conviction from 1997, and his parents, David and Peggy Edenfield.

"This is one of the most horrific crimes that I have seen in 21 years of prosecutions," Kelley said.

Christopher went missing for a week before police found his body about three miles from his trailer park home outside Brunswick, a Georgia port city 60 miles south of Savannah. The suspects lived in a mobile home across the street from the boy's grandmother.

The indictment contains grim details about the case that police and prosecutors had not previously revealed. It says Christopher died from asphyxiation March 8 — the day he was reported missing — after the suspects choked him while "ignoring his complaints that they were hurting him." The indictment does not say which of three caused the boy's death.

It also claims George Edenfield and his 58-year-old father sodomized the boy and forced him to perform oral sex while Peggy Edenfield watched and masturbated.

"They deserve the worst, for them to torture my son like that, every last one of them," said Mike Barrios, the slain boy's father.

A friend of the Edenfield family, Donald Dale, was indicted on charges of concealing a death and tampering with evidence. Kelley said Dale did not become involved until after Christopher had been killed.

Nathan Williams, the attorney for 57-year-old Peggy Edenfield, declined to comment Wednesday. Attorneys for George and David Edenfield did not immediately return phone calls.

Glynn County police arrested the Edenfields four days after the child vanished while playing alone outside. Police Chief Matt Doering said all three suspects confessed to playing roles in the boy's abduction.

Police have said Dale admitted to investigators he helped the Edenfields dispose of Christopher's body.

Other charges against the Edenfields include false imprisonment, cruelty to children and enticing a child for indecent purposes.

Police have described George David Edenfield as mentally slow, but not retarded and capable of understanding right from wrong.

Ironically, the Edenfields moved into the trailer park where Christopher lived last year because of a Georgia law intended to keep child molesters away from children. Sheriffs' deputies told George Edenfield in September that he had to leave his home near downtown Brunswick because it was too close to a playground. Georgia law prohibits registered sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of schools and other places that draw children.

His family went to live in the trailer park in October after George Edenfield was arrested for failing to move as ordered. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to probation March 5, three days before Christopher disappeared.

George Edenfield was required to register as a sex offender after he pleaded guilty in 1997 to molesting two boys, ages 7 and 9. Prosecutors said he rubbed his clothed body "in a sexual manner" against the boys, who also were fully dressed. He was sentenced then to 10 years on probation.

His father, David Edenfield, pleaded guilty to incest in 1994. He was accused of having sex with an adult relative who was not his son.

People! Wake up! there are sick people out there, and they come in all different sizes, shapes, ethnicity, and religions! You can NOT know if someone is a pedophile just by looking at him! He may be a perfect family man and a community leader and may have a good job, and be perfect in all other aspects of life. But he might have a sick twisted mind when it comes to molesting and raping children. I will drill this point to you until every single parent takes action to protect their defenseless children!

Breaking news

Ladies and gentleman, I need your close attention and I need to talk to you guys as your “Jewish brother” as it seems that things have escalated to a whole new and higher level.
This news I am about to present for you, was given to me 3 days ago and I sat on this story and didn’t disclose it out of respect and out of courtesy to the Rabbi who has now become the victim.

As you are aware by now, rabbi Nuchem had been telling his audience for a while now, that he will do an “אדרבא Aderaba” (it means: When rabbis put you in חרם isolation for the wrong reasons, you can “by Jewish law” throw it back at them and put these Rabbis in isolation). But this week he announced that he will NOT do it due to the strong repercussions that might arise of it. It is well known in Jewish tradition research, that whenever an “אדרבא Aderaba” was done, the consequences and the outcome were very bitter and with toxic, lethal and deadly results.

It seems, history is repeating itself! One of the Rabbis that were very active in bringing this חרם Isolation on Rabbi Nuchem has been diagnosed with a deadly sickness and is very very sick. That Rabbi has already sent “Directly and indirectly” a couple of messages of regret and apologies to rabbi nuchem.

Here is the deal! you can laugh it off, you can shake it off as a coincidence, or you can take a moment of your time and really think on what’s happening here. Here is a Young rabbi that was healthy and strong and out of the blue he developed this terrible disease and is struggling with it. I will tell you that the rabbi is not taking it lightly and is having major issues with what he did, he is resentful, and remorseful and sees that this is definitely from a higher power and it is מן השמים.

To the credit of Rabbi Nuchem, as soon as he got word of this, he took it upon himself to give up the “אדרבא Aderaba” without any publicity on why he did it, and decided to not go forward with it. But People, I am reaching out to you and let’s be frank and honest about this. This is not a coincidence and this is not something that “just“ happened! God looks out for his children, and god takes the side of a “Nirdaf -א-לקים יבקש את נרדף” and the gig is up boys!
Let’s stop this trend right away! Let’s tell God, we got the message! There is no need to punish us anymore! We ALL regret what we did to Rabbi Nuchem and we all regret abusing and fighting one of your loyal soldiers!

WAKE UP PEOPLE! We are not dealing with a Local rabbi that you can tell him what to do and what to say! We are dealing with GOD! We are dealing with the truth! We are dealing with Fire! And we don’t want to mess with fire! Let’s get off our high horses and say SORRY! Sorry Rabbi Nuchem for torturing you for 5 years! Sorry Rabbi Nuchem for not listening to you! Sorry Rabbi Nuchem for ignoring you when we all along knew you were right! Sorry Rabbi Nuchem for making your life hell!

This world is not a free-for-all, and its time we take that in consideration and stop the madness!

My dear reader and commenter

I received from someone named “this is so sad”  a comment on a previous post; it was not in support of Rabbi Nuchem or me. However, since it was written with respect and intelligence, I posted it and when I decided to respond, I realized that it will be a long one, so I am creating a new blog about it and will post it now.
The following is was he said:
thisisosad... said... I wanna commend you for changing your approach, educating instead of slamming.
Although you're way over doing it when it comes to the epidemic facts, nevertheless, it might raise some more awareness on the matter, which is good.

If Nuchem would deal with it in the manner you are currently dealing with it, people might have listened to him.But we all know the reason he didn't, cause his agenda is POWER AND CONTROL

Please, do yourself a favor, drop Nuchem and go about your business educating the masses.

Now I will respond to the above comment.
First of, Thank you for reading our blog and for sending your comments. I have refused to post many of your comments because they were vicious and nasty at times, but as long as you will continue to disagree with dignity (as you did in your latest one) , I will be more than happy to post it.

“I wanna commend you for changing your approach, educating instead of slamming.”

Well, I don’t believe I have changed my approach at all. Just, sometimes “slamming” as you so conveniently call it, is part of educating! When the rabunim are wrong, I MUST "slam" them so people realize that they are wrong and in return, they educate themselves.

“Although you're way over doing it when it comes to the epidemic facts, nevertheless, it might raise some more awareness on the matter, which is good”

My friend. You could not have been more wrong than you are now! If I am guilty of something, it is “under doing” and not “over doing” and this is the same problem we are having in this community. The rabbis are hiding the facts and the statistics, so you should not know about it. You yourself claim, that the rabbis are working with the community in discretion, so how would you know if I over did it or not? Since you don’t get to see or hear about these “discrete” cases.

Let me tell you something further. I am running this blog anonymously and not even rabbi Nuchem knows who I am. However, I will tell you, that I live in Williamsburg, and was brought up in Boro Park and learned on 53rd street in satmar yeshiva, and today I am not a public figure per se, but I am very much involved in community affairs. I hear many stories, I deal with many problems and I am in constant contact with the upper echelon in our community.

Take it for what it is worth. But I am here to tell you, that the problem is 10x worse of what you are made to believe, and even I am holding back a lot.

“If Nuchem would deal with it in the manner you are currently dealing with it, people might have listened to him.”

This is where I will need your full attention and open mind, and only then you might understand what I am about to say. Lets go over some facts first:

1.   Rabbi Nuchem DID deal with this manner in the beginning. Rabbi Nuchem has written letters in private to appropriate community Rabbis and leaders, explaining to them the issues,and it went in one ear and out the other.

For four years, he has written to them, called them and explained to them what’s happening in this community, and no one gave him the time of the day. So do not tell me that the “Tone of voice” is the problem

2.  These Rabbis have punished Rabbi Nuchem in the worst possible ways. Rabbi Nuchem took a bullet in the forehead, Rabbi Nuchem is being harassed on a daily basis, rabbi Nuchem has been put in isolation for NO GOOD REASON, other than they wanted to protect their own wrong doings!, Rabbi Nuchem is being yelled at, every time he walks the streets of his own community! And you have a problem with the “tone of his voice”? You have a problem with the “manner” he is talking to us?

I DARE you to find one Rabbi in NY that would’ve kept going for something he stands for , after 5 years of isolation and abuse! These Rabbis today don’t have the guts to say NO when being asked to sign a Kol Koreh against a concert by Lipa Shmeltser, with out prove of any wrong doing! These Rabbis today don’t have the decency to linvestigate a story if Rabbi Weingarten is an abuser or not, and they just signed a Kol Koreh claiming he is a holy man, when in fact here were many local rabbis who knew for 100% that he is a molester!

Rabbi Nuchem has stood his ground strongly for years and years while receiving death threats, bullets, beatings and isolation action against him, and you have a problem with his “manners”? You have a problem with his “tone of voice”?

Finally, I WILL NOT DROP NUCHEM! You have been asking that the whole time, because you all know that once he is dropped, the rabbis have a free range to go back and doing stuff with no objections!

Thank the lord for Rabbi Nuchem and the pressure he keeps bringing on this community, otherwise this would’ve been “god forbid” a molesters playground.

While I am on this subject: Let me also respond to the many emails and complaints i received, regarding showing you videos form the church, Iran, etc. and claiming that I respect their views. I did not think I had to explain it, but Just for the record, here it is.

Under no circumstances am I justifying or believing in the message of the church or the Iran regime or any other quotes and articles from the secular world. I am merely using them as an example and as a point of reference to show you, teach you and educate you on what’s going on out there, and on the seriousness of the problem.



When Hakudesh burach hu took the Jews out of Egypt and split the Ocean for them, he also took in consideration of what the secular world would say and what the angles will say! It’s called” Humanity! Compassion! Civilization! Society!

Let me end by saying, Your comments are always welcomed and your suggestions are always well received and I appreciate them.

My hope is that we can all come to a common understanding and that you can see that Rabbi Nuchem is NOT about “Power and control” but rather about “cleaning the streets of molesters and pedophiles”! The day I will hear a local Rabbi speaking out about molesters, and announcing a "help center" or any solution, that will be the day I will close this blog and work with the local Rabbis. Unfortunately though, it has been 50 years in waiting, and nothing was done so far.

Child Molesters punishment in Iran.

This video is very graphic (viewer discretion is advised) but it gives you an idea how they deal with child molesters in Iran. All I can advise these scum in our community. Don’t even think of molesting a boy in Iran, unless you are willing to go through what you are about to watch!


As you can see, the whole town was there, including the children, he molested and they all clapped when the punishment was done.

ונתתי להם בביתי ובחומתי יד ושם טוב מבנים ומבנות שם עולם אתן לו אשר לא יכרת

As another year passes by, and the holy days are upon us, Jewish people all over the globe gather with their families to their local synagogues and pray to hashem asking him for health, wealth and a blessed sweet year. We are asking for good kids, for righteous kids and we are asking for a blessed year for klal yisroel.
One person that does not get to enjoy this experience, and does not benefit from these privileges, is none other than our esteemed Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg. Why does he not get that right? Why does he not get to be like every other Jew that is welcomed in every synagogue? You guessed it!

Its all a big scheme and plan, to make his life miserable and get him away from the community, so he will stop exposing these rabbis in the community that have no guts to take a stand towards predators and molesters. They don’t have the guts to look him into his eye and say something, they don’t have the guts to respond to his accusation against him, and in reality they don’t have what to say to him, because they know they are wrong! And they know that rabbi Nuchem is right!

However,  at the same time, they still don’t like the fact that he is exposing the truth, so they take the cheap way out, the cowardly way out! Just throw him into isolation and ignore him, and tell the whole world that you are not allowed to talk with him. Like this they accomplish everything they want. They don’t have to respond to him (since they have nothing to say) and they don’t have to face him (since they can’t do that either because they know they are wrong).

Therefore, today we are announcing our project for this coming year! We are thrilled to proclaim today, that this coming year we are going to build a state-of-the-art Bais hamedrash (Synagogue) for our esteemed rabbi in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. It will be walking distance from the rabbi’s apartment, and it will be used for many more community events.

This will be a place, that will be open to anyone who wants to pray, learn, and have a closer connection to G-d. There will be a rehabilitation center for abuse victims and support groups for all who have suffered from sexual abuse over the past 50 years.

Stay tuned for future updates and more details. Those interested in donating for this great “place of worship” or to make a dedication in the name of a loved one may email me at longlivenuchem@gmail.com

Let me also add this: We have "outsiders" that are willing to fund this project, and we will ask them to to so if we need to. But of course, we would much rather, get the donations from the community we will be serving, and have the people who will benefit from this, be the ones who have the "Mitzvah" of building it.

בורא עולם בקנין השלם זה הבנין

Prevention vs. counseling

Our kinderlech in our community are overall smart kids, bright kids and above average well-groomed and street smart. You ask any parent in our circles, and they will tell you that people in the outside world will always comment “How bright my child is” “How smart they are” most of our kids are bilingual at the age of 6 and know how to learn Torah and know how to daven.
Most of our children are brought up in a household of 2 parents. There are very few single moms or single dads in our community, and the overall family life structure in our communities, are solid and strong.

What I am wondering though, is how come your average kid in the secular world is bright enough to learn about sex education at the age of 7 or 8 (depending which state you live in), and our kids are being sheltered until the age of 18? Statistics show that the earlier you teach children today about sexual molesters and predators, the better it is! The more you educate them, the safer they are. The more you tell them, the chances are better that they should live a happy childhood and a molester-free youth. So why do we stay away from educating the children in our communities? Why don’t we educate them to come forward to their parents, when they are inappropriately touched or bothered? When a old man tries to make a conversation with them, or when a teacher is keeping them in school after hours, they should speak up! Is that so much to ask?

After all we are smarter than your average kid! We are healthier than your average kid! We are capable of understanding better than your average kid! So why not educate them?

What is it that these schools are scared off? What is it that’s holding back the teachers, principals, and educators from openly conversing sexual behavior patterns with our kids? Didn’t you ever wonder about this? And if you see that the school does not do it, why don’t you as a parent go ahead and do your job and educate your child? What are you waiting for?


Why not do “Prevention” before hand, rather than “a lifetime of counseling” after the fact! How many more victims do we need before we open our eyes? How many lost souls do we need before we get involved? How many more lifetime of suffering and pain does this community need before it deals with the issues? How many more children are we willing to “push under the rug” just so the neighbors think we are a “normal” family? When will we put about our “real priorities” ahead of what will “the street talk about my family”?

I think it’s about time that we put our kids first, not just by buying them nice clothing but rather by giving them the best upbringing and the best life ahead.

Amazingly Shlomo Weiss had the strength and the will to come out and confront his father after 20 years, and look what they are doing to him. First they posted his video on you tube under the title of “What a chilul hashem shlomo weiss did” and then they took it off the site.

Are you kidding me? He made the chilul hashem? He made the BIGGEST Kiddush hashem by speaking out, and people in the community without hesitation labeled him every name in the book and put him out there, as a loser and a s a fabricator and as someone who just did it for the fun of it!

Shame on you guys!

Again, Again and again!

I will repeat these statistics until we are all blue in the face. Until we all realize that there is an epidemic in the community and no one wants to admit it. I can hear your responses before you even say it! Nuchem Rosenberg is meshiga, Nuchem Rosenberg is crazy, Nuchem Rosenberg makes up all these facts, nuchem Rosenberg is in isolation.


Ok whatever you say! Are you not willing to take that tiny chance, maybe he is right and maybe for the sake of my child I should listen to these facts? Maybe the rabunim are wrong, and they were trying to protect their names and dignity and that’s why they isolated him? After all the facts and stories, does your kid not deserve at the bare minimum, that you should know the facts? Does your kid not deserve at the bare minimum, that you should give Rabbi Nuchem a chance and hear his message? How come all the victims come to Rabbi Nuchem for help? Why don’t they go to the Rabbis? Why don’t you see a “help center” in our communities? Why did the Rabunim isolated Rabbi Nuchem, when there are such terrible people in the community that deserve isolation? Why was Yechial Brauner that molested and raped close to 4000 kids, not put into Cheirem? Why was B.M. Lebowits who is a convicted child molester, never put into isolation? Why were not people who stole from the community millions of dollars, never put into cheirem? WHY ONLY RABBI NUCHEM?

WHY ONLY RABBI NUCHEM? Is this the worst sin in our community? After all what did he do, He told people that there are molesters in the community! Does that warrant isolation? Does that warrant such a harsh sentence? OF COURSE NOT! Think for a second why they did it, and you will see the hypocrisy that is happening in this community.

The  real reasonthey did it, is TO PROTECT THEMSELVES! To protect their schools, to protect their name in the community and to make sure that YOU as a parent don’t start asking too many questions! Are you that gullible to let them get away with it? Are you that naïve to just leave it up to the people in the schools to protect your kid? Are you that crazy to put your children’s faith into a system that has been looking the other way for 50 years? Does your child not deserve at least an effort on your part to ask questions?

Here are some fact and figures from studies done by Governemnt , schools and doctors. Educate yourself!

Approximately ONE in SIX boys is sexually abused before the age 16. Which means, when you walk into any classroom with 30 kids, there is Approximately FIVE abused kids in that classroom that are being abused.
The numbers are staggering, the facts are mind numbing and the statistics are overwhelmingly shocking. The sexual abuse of male children can lead to a variety of problems and suffering. However most people do not begin to understand the complexity of this issue and have pessimistic beliefs, and think that it is “Overblown”.

The most common effects of people that were molested as a child, are:
• Anger
• Fear
• Homosexuality Issues
• Helplessness
• Isolation and Alienation
• Legitimacy
• Loss
• Masculinity Issues
• Negative Childhood Peer Relations
• Negative Schemas about People
• Negative Schemas about the Self
• Problems with Sexuality
• Self Blame/Guilt
• Shame/Humiliation
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Dissociation
• Hostility and anger
• Impaired relationships
• Low self-esteem
• Sexual dysfunction
• Sleep disturbance
• Suicidal ideas and behavior

Sexual abuse effects on children and youth can be evident in emotional, physical and behavioral ways. These effects can be just as devastating whether there was only one occurrence or there were repeated occurrences. Sexual abuse cannot be compared, because each abuse experience is unique.

Children are vulnerable to sexual abuse because of their age, size and innocence. When a child or youth is molested, she/he learns that adults cannot be trusted for care and protection: well-being is disregarded, and there is a lack of support and protection. These lead to grief, depression, extreme dependency, inability to judge trustworthiness in others, mistrust, anger and hostility. And as if all that isn't enough, children's bodies often respond to the sexual abuse, bringing on shame and guilt.
Children/youth are unable to protect themselves and stop the abuse.
Children/youth are susceptible to force.
Children/youth are susceptible to the use of trickery by offenders.
Often times, children/youth have no control over their own bodies.
All too often, children/youth are unable to make others believe them.

FACT: 36% of sexually abused children will display few or no symptoms until later in life.(Oates, O'Toole, Lynch, Stern & Cooney, 19941).

Why do some victims display a multitude of emotional and behavioural effects, while others display few or none? In spite of few or no outward symptoms, child and youth victims do suffer emotionally. These emotional effects come in varying degrees, depending on the following six factors:

The nature of the relationship between the victim and the offender: the closer the emotional relationship, the greater the emotional trauma.

The age of the child when the abuse began and the duration of the sexual relationship: an ongoing sexual relationship with repeated contacts is generally more traumatic and usually produces more sexual abuse effects than a single contact.

The type of sexual activity the victim is exposed to: sexual acts involving strictly non-contact sexual abuse appears less traumatic than sexual acts that involve contact. It is important to note, however, that trauma and the sexual abuse effects are still very real when any type of sexual abuse occurs.
The degree of physical aggression directed at the victim: violence adds to the trauma of the abuse. Being physically abused, having a mother who is mentally ill, not having someone to confide in, and being socially isolated are significant predictors for childhood sexual abuse (Fleming, Mullen & Bammer, 19972).

The response the victim receives when she/he discloses the abuse: healing is apparent when a disclosure is met with compassion and is followed with effective intervention; if the victim is met with skepticism and accusations, anger, or no response at all when she/he discloses, the sexual abuse effects are compounded.

The availability of a supportive person in the victim's life: a caring, loving, nurturing, and listening person in the victim's life lessens the trauma; a lack of a supportive person intensifies the abuse and leaves the victim feeling even more lonely, helpless, and unworthy.
FACT: 17% of abused children exhibit age inappropriate sexual behaviour (Trocme & Wolfe, 2001, p.283).
FACT: Of the sexual abuse effects exhibited, sexualized behaviour is the most consistent indicator of sexual abuse (Cavanagh Johnson et. al., 1995, pp.50-514).
FACT: 14% of abused children exhibit behaviour problems (Trocme & Wolfe, 2001, p.285).
FACT: 29% of abuse children exhibit depression or anxiety (Trocme & Wolfe, 2001, p.286).
FACT: 13% of abused children exhibit negative peer involvement (Trocme & Wolfe, 2001, p.287).
FACT: 85% of runaways  have been sexually abused (Conference on Child Victimization & Child Offending, 20008).
FACT: According to the Conference on Child Victimization & Child Offending (200010), sexual abuse effects on children with a history of molestation reflect that they are seven times more likely to become drug/alcohol dependent
FACT: In a sexual abuse effects study of 938 adolescents admitted to residential, therapeutic communities for the treatment of substance abuse and related disorders, 64% of the boys reported histories of sexual abuse (Hawke, Jainchill, & DeLeon, 2000, pp.35-4711).
FACT: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is one of the sexual abuse effects that plague sexually abused children and adult survivors of child abuse. Symptoms experienced are similar to those experienced by Vietnam veterans and may include sleep disturbances, anxiety and depression, which negatively impact on their daily psychosocial functioning and for which many seek professional help (Wiehe, 1998, p.5012).
FACT: Studies done by Haywood, Kravitz, Wasyliw, Goldberg and Cavanaugh in 1996 reflect some disturbing sexual abuse effects. The study found that the odds of becoming a child molester were 5.43 times greater for adult male victims of childhood sexual abuse than for adult male non-victims (Lee, Jackson, Pattison, & Ward, 2002, p.8814).
FACT: Children with a history of sexual molestation are ten times more likely to attempt suicide (Conference on Child Victimization & Child Offending, 200015).

I can go on with facts and facts all night long and never finish. I am here to try to open your eyes, give your kid a fighting chance of surviving these hard and terrible odds against them. But if you are not willing at least to look into it and question your school, and get parents involved and STOP being so paranoid on what kind of shidduch you will do, and instead concentrate on the welfare of your child. That will be the only way, he will have a chance at a normal life.


Do you think that most of the problems in our community are not related to molestation? Don’t fool yourself; it has a direct connection to it! And innocent people are paying a hefty price for the hush hush that has been happening in our community for years. They are paying a price for being an innocent little boy and their parents didn’t bother to check the facts and give them a fighting chance!

DON’T DO THIS TO YOUR KID! STOP THE VICIOUS CYCLE!

The Torah has already thought us on how to deal with a molester, and gave the harshest sentences for them compared to any other crime. They received punishments on the same level as a murderer. And that’s because they are just as bad as a murderer, and worse!

A new year! A new beginning.

I had an opportunity to interview yesterday a man in his 30s that lives in the heart of Williamsburg (Brooklyn, NY). He is a very brave man, and with all the punishments and abuse he took from a teacher at the age of 8 through 10, he made a remarkable come back and is the head of a beautiful and healthy family.

Once we started talking about his past, it didn’t take long for him to break down and compulsively shaking and crying as he went back to his childhood. The pain was seen on his face, and the anguish was like something I never seen before, and his tears were flowing endlessly.

Why am I telling you this? Because I feel that the majority in our community, still don’t get it! I know every one is against pedophilia and against rapist and molesters, but somehow it feels like it’s just words, slogans and lip service.

We must sit down and take 3 minutes of our time and see what these terrible people do their victims. This is not a temporary scar; this is not a pimple that goes away after 2 weeks. This is a LIFETIME of pain and suffering for these victims. When I spoke to this victim about the abuse he had 20 years earlier, he broke down and cried and was in anguish that I thought for a moment, it happened yesterday!

His loyal wife came in after 20 minutes and attempted to stop the interview, but the husband insisted to go on! The man is in therapy and will be in therapy for life! The man still does not trust a human being (including his family) with anything, and he is always on the lookout and nervous.

I beg you people in the community! DO SOMETHING about it! EDUCATE the public about it! Rabbi Rosenberg is constantly doing it and you think that he is repeating himself every week. HE IS NOT! You must say this every day to your kids. Watch this video and read the statistics of these scum of the earth


What have you done today to protect your child? What have you done today to verify for sure that your 7 year old boy is not molested in school?

There are victims in OUR community that have been raped and molested for 12 – 15 years non stop! This is not just a saying, it is reality! Boys AND Girls, that went through hell in their childhood and were raised by nice families and good parents, and no one knew whats going on!
These molesters know every trick in the book. They know how to scare you! How to frighten you! How to intimate you! And how to threaten you! What makes you think thet YOUR child is immune to these monsters? I spoke to a woman that was molested by her uncle for 10 years non stop in her own room, in her own house and in her every day life!
I am not asking you to do something for a stranger? I am asking you to something for YOUR KID! Teach him and her, that when a person tells him not to say to totty or mommy something, that that’s the PERFECT TIME TO RUN and tell totty and mommy!
I know its not politically correct to discuss this in our community!, but open your eyes. There are cases in the community right now that will shock you to no end! There are molesters in our community that will rape your children at a blink of the eye! And these people can be your brothers, sisters, husbands, fathers, sons, cousins or the favorite uncle!
Please make a NEW YEAR resolution to protect your kids and to speak out. And stop hating the people that are here to help you and educate you. Insiders! Outsiders! Chassidic! Non Chassidic! What does it matter?

OOPS!

Nuchem stop talking on the rabunim, Rabunim are honest, and holy and truthful, and sincere.
You can’t tell them what to say and you can write speeches for them, its all done on their own and they have a Das torah.

And here is a good example.

This letter was written by the Rabbi to proclaim that Berel Azhkenazi is a honest man.

Great. Now its all clear.

The  letter that he wrote that Berel will not touch any kid,  and will be good from now on, that was a mistake, but the 2nd one is the real one, and no problem! Everything is good now

OOPS!       OOPS!        OOPS!

What do we got here.

This is a letter that Berels brother wrote for the Rabbi and asked him to sign it.
See the differences?

No signature on the bottom
No stamp on the bottom
Some words different that the one they released, like for an example (towards the bottom) “please tell your brother not to worry, I will take his side”

Nuchem, how dare you say the rabbis are corrupt?

Law and Order.

Get ready Rabbis, look what happens when you break the law.
Coming soon to the streets of Brooklyn, NY


Amish bishops are charged with not reporting child sex abuse

MARSHFIELD, Mo. --The Webster County prosecuting attorney accuses four Amish bishops of not telling law enforcement officers about the sexual abuse of girls in their community. Each bishop is charged with one misdemeanor count of failure of to report a sexual crime against a child.

Those charged on Tuesday are Christian Schwartz, 40; Jacob Schwartz, 79; Emmanuel Eicher, 44; and Peter Eicher, 59. They will be mailed summons to appear in court on Nov. 16. If convicted, they could each get a sentence in the county jail up to one year, or a fine up to $1,000.

Prosecutors say the bishops did not report sexual abuse that investigators believe Johnny Schwartz of Seymour committed on two relatives. Schwartz was charged in mid-October with six counts involving sexual abuse of children. His wife, Fannie Schwartz, is also charged with not reporting the abuse.

As bishops in the church, they are mandated by law to report abuse if they know it's happening. The prosecutor says they were aware of it.

If you spend a little time in Amish country, it won't take long to see it's a different way of life around here. There’s no electricity and little communication with the outside world, and a totally different set of rules.

Those rules include doling out their own punishment for a man accused of sexually abusing two little girls.

"They're completely embarrassed by that but they feel they have the authority through God to handle it their way," said Webster County Sheriff Roye Cole.

Their way is to keep it within the Amish community.

"He (Johnny Schwartz) was shunned, which essentially meant he couldn't have any involvement with the community for a period of time,” the sheriff said.

That period of time was 30 to 60 days. But, investigators believe, after Johnny Schwartz was shunned the first time, he sexually abused a second girl. It's the lack of reporting about that crime that is proving to be a challenge for law enforcement.

"If it happens again, do I think they'll report it? I don't know. I don't know,” said Cole.

Cole drove to the Amish community around Seymour and Diggins about three weeks ago to make clear to the Amish that they too are held to modern day laws and punishments, and ignorance of the law or claims of a Higher Authority doesn't override their obligation to report crimes.

So the question for a judge will be whether the four bishops found out about the alleged abuse in privileged conversation. The prosecutor's charges, would suggest otherwise.

"Any case where you have a third person going and saying, ‘Hey, so and so is sexually abusing a child,’ or ‘So and so is physically abusing or neglecting a child,’ at that point, the minister has a responsibility to report it,” said Prsoecuting Attorney Danette Padgett.

The state’s mandatory reporting law doesn't only apply to the bishops in the Amish community. The prosecutor and sheriff say they hope this case will be a lesson that will prompt all adults, not just Amish ones, to find out whether they are mandatory reporters under the law, and know what their responsibilities are.


The parents also get charged! (Mothers can't protect husbands, they must protect their children)

Amish wife is accused of not reporting husband's sexual abuse of girls
Originally printed at http://www.ky3.com/news/local/64445517.html

MARSHFIELD, Mo. -- A sexual assault case in the Amish community near Seymour has resulted in more charges. Last week, Johnny Schwartz was charged with having sexual contact with two teenage relatives. Now his wife is also charged because investigators say she let it happen.

Webster County law officers say they learned by chance that Johnny Schwartz, 36, sexually assaulted two teenage girls.

"It was an accidental disclosure. They call it the English community; our community overheard this being discussed among the Amish, and they actually did the reporting,” said Webster County Prosecuting Attorney Danette Padgett.

Now Johnny’s wife, Fannie Schwartz, 47, is charged with not reporting the sexual contact to law officers. Detectives say Fannie Schwartz knew about the abuse.

"It's my understanding she did, at different points in time, report it to the church and the church took care of that situation, in their opinion,” said Padgett.

Court documents show Schwartz told detectives that she knew Johnny was having sexual relations with the girls, and they talked about it several times. According to a probable cause statement against here, she said it wasn't bothering her like it should have been.

"Anybody that has the responsibility of care for a child is considered a mandatory reporter,” said Padgett.

Sheriff Roye Cole says he understands there are cross-cultural conflicts but the two charges of child endangerment is no different for the Amish or anyone else.

"Do they even know they need to report it? Who's going to report it? And how do they report it? I don't think the Amish community's going to have a list of phone numbers so they know to call the hotline,” said Cole. “They need to know how to help children when they need it."

People in the Amish community around Seymour and Diggins have repeatedly asked Webster County law enforcement officers to let them punish their members on their own terms. Coles says he's scheduled a meeting with the community's elders on Friday morning to make sure this situation doesn't happen again.

A judge set Fannie Schwartz's bond at $25,000 and ordered her to have to contact with Johnny Schwartz or the two girls. If she's convicted, she could face a maximum prison sentence of seven years for one charge and four years for the other.

Yes this is America!

Put up or shut up!

Yet another molestation horror story just shocked the world yesterday. A brave young man from Kiryas Yoel, NY came forward after years of being raped and molested by his own father.

Unfortunately these stories are very common these days, but they still put a shiver in your spine every time you hear a new story, and it reminds you of how important it is to fight pedophilia in our community.

At the same time however, there are still people in the community who believe in hush-hush! No matter how many people come forward, and how many stories are being exposed and how many people being put into the slammer, they still have the attitude of “it’s a copout” He is blaming someone else for HIS problems” and “its overblown” and similar poor excuses.

As the reality kicks in, and the truth emerges, these guys try to be a step ahead with a new excuse. They are fooling no one but themselves and they are too shallow to realize how they are viewed all over and what a disgrace and dishonor they put on OUR Jewish orthodox community.

The latest excuse they have come up with is, we don’t want “outsiders” preaching us about molestations! We don’t want Ms. Vicki Polin, Dr. Asher Lipner and similar brave people to tell us how to live.
Every wise person realizes how ridicules this statement is, but nevertheless I will respond for the less fortunate.

1.   When you go to the Emergency room, do you also say “I want a doctor from the community to give me CPR”? “I want a Orthodox Jew to operate on my cancerous skin”? Or is it anyone who is willing to help me please give me oxygen!

This problem of pedophilia is just as important as your local emergency room! Your kids in the community need oxygen. You don’t wait for a doctor from a specific ethnicity; it should be anyone who is willing to land a hand.

2.   If you don’t like the “outsiders” go ahead and do something about it! Why do you think the “outsiders” are here for? Because no one is doing anything! You  have been hush hush for 25 years, and if not for the “outsiders” it would still be a hidden secret. Even when someone comes forward now, you still try to hide it. And you have a problem with the “outsiders”. How convenient!

3.   We have an insider and his name is Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg! Look what you have done to him, you have tried to kill him, to isolate him, to silence him and everything else possible to get rid of him!

The bottom line is very simple. You can’t play both sides of the fence and get away with it. Until you admit and come to the realization that there is a BIG problem in this community, and publicly address it, and do something about it (like opening a real center where victims can come for help), you should be ready for the consequences and feel the pressure and the backlash.

Be ready to watch the local news every night and see how the community is being rightfully ripped apart and being exposed in front of a national audience. Be ready to watch the court susyem and the Gov. sex offenders lists with local rabbis and orthodox people, and mostly be ready to take responsibility for the Chilul hashem YOU are making. Because YOU are the ones that are not addressing this issue and YOU are the ones who try to disturb others when they are willing to help.

Once again. We are here to stay , Rabbi Nuchem is here to stay and we will go after each molester with full force and expose every bad person in the community including the ones supporting them and aiding them.
