This Tendler doesn't give up.....keeps losing again and again, but keeps telling his gullible sheep that he is winning!
Oh! He actually did win one case, Marmelstein vs Tendler.
Ms Marmelstein sued Tendler on the bases that her relationship with her Rabbi was a "fiduciary" relationship, meaning she had a relationship that involved trust and that Tendler violated that trust by screwing her.
Tendler responded, that the relationship between a Rabbi and a congregant is not "fiduciary" and therefore any Rabbi can screw his congregant.
He won!
But it is some "win," now every time a congregant sues her Rabbi for violating her, the Rabbi can refer the Judge to the famous winning precedent Marmelstein vs Tendler!
Back to our story:
Tendler was suing KNH, Kehillat New Hemstead, the shul that he was "Rabbi". He wanted the shul that threw him out because he was fooling around with its congregants, to honor his Lifetime contract. Crazy? No?
A lower court ruled that Tendler was not entitled to summary judgement on his claim of damages, and that on the contrary, the shul had legitimate questions whether he inappropriately accessed shul funds.
The lower court ruled that Tendler was certainly not entitled to lifetime wages but only 2 months wages. The court held that Tendler was only entitled to recover lost wages between the date of his termination and the date permission was obtained from Bais Din, which was 2 months later.
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York agreed with the lower court!
But knowing this "Chutzpeniak" he won't give up, because he can't, he keeps telling his 8 supporters and wife, (some of whom still worship him) that he won!
He also sued this blogger, and actually lost!
