Police disclose name of the pedophile from Beit Shemesh
The investigation shows: this is how Lustig raped a guy, 7 months after he was investigated for assaulting a minor* 📢
Remember the dramatic arrest in Miron, and the clashes that broke out in the cave? So today the name of the pedophile was disclosed:
Kalman Leib Lustig, 24 years old from Beit Shemesh.
He was investigated for sexual offenses and rape. The testimonies of the complainants in the case were revealed after Lustig was indicted this week.
The investigation showed that there is an additional case against him from about 7 months prior on suspicion of committing sexual offenses against a minor.
The affair was revealed after boys complained that Lustig had committed sexual offenses, and raped one of them in a spring after the Yurzeit of the Holy Ari, making acquaintances with them through a telephone dating line. Lustig denied the suspicions against him during the investigation.
"He asked to meet them at the spring at three in the morning. Not far away," one of the 14-year-old boys repeated, "he told us to undress. At one point he grabbed my friend and I yelled at him: 'What are you doing to him? Leave him alone. . . .
The boys' testimony also shows that Lustig slapped them because he couldn't reach a climax, he asked them to come with him to the cave on Keren Hayesod Street in Safed. He asked the two to sexually undress one of the other boys until he finally climaxed.
Elie Wiesel, the renowned Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate, related that after the Holocaust he had difficulty with donning tefilin. However after some soul searching, he reached the conclusion that the tefilin were innocent in the murder of his family. The Nazis murdered his family, but the tefilin were innocent victims just like his family.
ReplyDeleteBy all indication, Lustig got what he deserved, but couldn't the police have allowed for the removal of his tefilin, if at all possible? Lustig may be "tomay", but the tefilin he was wearing at the time of his arrest, nonetheless still retained their "kedusha".
Lustig may have been defiling the tefilin, simply by his act of wearing them. However, the tefilin never raped anyone, not made improper advances against anyone. The tefilin were as much innocent as the Lustig's victims. Tefilin stand for the rejection of the evil thoughts that motivated these heinous crimes.
If at all possible, the honor of tefilin should have been respected, not Lustig.

ReplyDeletewatch the video again, the mob would have killed the cop. There was no time for being polite, and the tefillin were "moichel" the cops for arresting him with them on, he is a raging pedophile and therefore a "rodef". If someone with tefillin on is in the midst of murdering someone, you don't ask him "Hey, can you please take off your tefillin?" You kill him with his tefillin on!
If Lustig was indeed a "rodef", meaning that he presented a definite risk that could not be prevented in any other way, then the police would have been justified in arresting him without considering the tefilin that he was wearing at that time. Not merely arresting him, but actually killing him, would be justified, if that was the only way to stop Lustig from offending.
DeleteHowever, if the police were the slightest bit over aggressive in their apprehension of Lustig and decided to administer a little bit of street justice, (which, by the way, is commonly the way police in
rural America handle themselves), then they should and would be held accountable for their conduct.
The video provided, though alarming, is not totally convincing either way. Neither you nor I were present at the arrest. We have seen how selective editing of videos can impact how the scene is interpreted. When partial videos of January 6 are exhibited by Democrats it does seem that indeed an insurrection had taken place. However, when presented in its entirety as demanded by the Republican House, it suggests a different interpretation. Likewise, the video clips of George Floyd's arrest, evoke sympathy for the Black Lives Matter movement. But the hour-long documentary of the incident causes one pause.
A while back DIN exhibited a video who showed a Charedi man taking a child's hand when leaving a Simcha. The child's mother alerted the police long after the man departed alone, and he was arrested for suspicion of kidnapping. It was discovered that the man had no evil intentions; he simply wished to exit the building while avoiding walking between women. It was thoughtless and foolish. DIN depicted the man as evil incarnate, and never retracted that assertion. Granted the man was guilty of stupidity, but he did not deserve to be so vilified.
My point is that sometimes videos do not tell the whole story.
It may be the case that police who arrested Lustig acted appropriately. We must be "dan leKaf Zechus all Jews, even Jewish police. I do nonetheless wonder whether police training include mussar and ethics regarding respect for religious artifacts.
Neither you nor I know how Lustig's arrest was conducted. "Klapay Shmaye Galye", Only Hashem knows what was in the hearts and minds of the police at that time. If they callously disregarded the sanctity of the tefilin, then Elul is appropriate time for teshuvah.
