Ruth Lichtenstein Publisher of Hamodia Will Not report Walder Story Despite Her Own Daughter Writing a book about Incest in the Ger Community

 

Ruth Lichtenstein's daughter, Judy Brown, wrote a book titled  Hush, a best seller  which described a scene where the protagonist witnesses a friend getting raped by her own family in the Ger community. At the time she wrote it under a pen name, "Aishas Chayil" but she was subsequently outed. She then went public to lecture the community about sexual abuse in the Chassidic community.

Her mother, Ruth, is the publisher of Hamodia, and wants to continue her family minhag of keeping her mouth shut about a serial rapist and adulterer, a menace to the frum community. Shame on her, she has learnt nothing.

Talk about tone deaf... have you seen the editorial in Hamodia? Take a look. What a total letdown. @HamodiaUS - you guys need to go back to the drawing board. This kind of drivel simply isn't credible. In fact, it's downright offensive. #chaimwalder pic.twitter.com/YxbaKLMNIH

Funny how Ruth Lichtenstein of @HamodiaUS claims that her paper is following the footsteps of Reb Chaim Ozer and the Imrei Emes זצ"ל – both of whom had images of women published in their publications, as documented in @DerVeker. https://t.co/fhWOeHxZTM

Editor of hamodia writes in this week's issue that her publication will not be writing about the sex abuse scandal. Seems like a good time for a reminder that her own daughter wrote Hush, a story about sex abuse cover-ups in her community.https://t.co/iTxxeZpCWZ https://t.co/lsT5d5pXH0
