The reason why the Jewish People lost respect for their leaders .... they are constantly in courts and not in Bais Din!

Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum

Rabbi Zalman Teitelbaum

Mordechai Tendler

Torah leaders constantly preach to their naive flock that a Jew who has a conflict with another Jew, should resolve their issues in a Bais Din. The leaders themselves do not listen to their own sermons and refuse to follow Torah law. Take for example Mordechai Tendler of New Hempstead, who constantly admonished his kehillah to follow our holy Torah and resolve their perspective issues in a Jewish Bais Din "al pi Torah."Mordechai Tendler as of this writing is in secular court suing his former Kehillah for back pay, because they fired him for having sexual affairs with members of his own congregation. Tendler did in fact subpoena his kehilah to a Bais Din but then refused to show up. Tendler is now suing google to identify the various bloggers  for reporting the truth that he had multiple affairs.
And now we have two Chassidic Rabbis suing each other in Secular Court to determine who the leader of the Satmar Chassidim is.

The succession battle between two brothers to be the leader of an ultra-orthodox Jewish sect is back in the courts.

The brothers, Zalman and Aaron Teitelbaum, have been fighting for years in religious and state civil courts to determine who should head the Satmar wing of Hasidic Judaism. The Teitelbaums' father, Moses, was the long-time Satmar boss, but he died without naming a successor.

Aaron Teitelbaum governs Kiryas Joel, a town about 60 miles from New York City. The largely Yiddish-speaking town was founded in the 1970s and its residents strictly observe Jewish religious rules.

Zalman Teitelbaum runs a similiar Satmar community in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in New York City.

The latest development in the fraternal battle was sparked by a group of Zalman's supporters who live in Kiryas Joel. They have accused Kiryas Joel of running a repressive theocracy and asked a federal judge to dissolve the self-governing community.

In court papers filed in Manhattan federal court on Monday, a Kiryas Joel offical who stands accused by the angry residents said the legal fight was a tactic to change the town's leadership.

"Plaintiffs ... attempt through this case to drag Moses Witriol ... into the middle of their dispute concerning leadership," Witriol, the town's director of public safety, said in court filings.

In an amended complaint filed last month, the Zalman Teitelbaum supporters said Kiryas Joel officials selectively enforced laws and discriminated against them because of their religious beliefs. They asked U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, who is presiding over the case, to direct New York State to dissolve the municipality.

The case is Kiryas Joel Alliance et al. v. Village of Kiryas Joel et al., U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 11-3982.

Author of "Hush" is Judy Brown, Daughter of the Publisher of Hamodia

We have been recommending this book ever since we started this blog.... this book should be required reading for all frum parents.....
It's time to admit that we as a frum community have severe problems with abuse, and it's time to deal with it..
We are supporting Judy Brown for "outing" herself! We admire her courage!
Read Judy's words
"Six months after my book, "Hush," came out, my publisher and I began receiving threats in the mail intended to intimidate us for daring to expose these unspeakable truths about my beloved community. The message was clear: I had violated the rule that said victims must protect the community from their own crimes. Now, I would pay.

For too long we have tiptoed around our flaws with fear and caution, pushing them into the shadows in hopes they will disappear. For too long, victims have been made to be the villains, and abuse was calledloshon harah, evil talk. For too long, we have refused to honestly discuss the horrific possibilities, and in doing so allowed our children to fall victim to them. And for too long, I have allowed my own fear to make me part of a wall of silence -- guilty for what I had seen, guilty for what I had written.

I refuse to continue to allow that fear to force me into hiding over a book that should have been written long ago. I no longer want to be known only as Eishes Chayil when my name is Judy Brown. I must find the courage to stand with the victims who carry the burden of our silence for the rest of their lives.

I originally wrote my book under a pseudonym to protect my family and friends from community retribution, but so far we have only hurt ourselves. Maybe now, because of Leiby's tragedy, things will change. Maybe now, we will finally teach our children what we should have taught them years ago: morality has no garb!"

Muslim Fathers kills 6 Daughters in Islamic "honor killing"

" He does not regret what he did. He boasted that he would do it all over again if he had to," Police Inspector Javed Sial.

FAISALABAD:

A man gunned down six of his daughters on suspicion that two of them were in relationships with boys in the neighbourhood.

On Tuesday morning, Arif Mubashir called his teenage daughters to his room and shot them while the rest of the family, including their mother, watched. His wife Musarrat called the police after the incident.

Mubashir shot the girls after their brother said two of them were in a relationship. He told police officials that he had killed his daughters because they were both “without honour”. The man said his daughters Sameena, 14, and Razia, 16, were in a relationship with college boys from the neighbourhood and the sisters had helped each other. “I should have been told immediately but the girls sided with each other. They were both corrupt,” Mubashir told Tandlianwala Police Inspector Javed Sial.

Police officials have taken Mubashir into custody and filed a case against him. “He does not regret what he did. He boasted that he would do it all over again if he had to,” Sial told reporters.

Pakistan has repeatedly been termed as one of the least women-friendly countries. In June, the Thompson Reuters Foundation ranked Pakistan as the world’s third most dangerous country for women.

Murderer of Rav Abuhatzeira, "I kissed his hand before killing him"

Asher Dahan

The murderer of Rabbi Elazar Abuhatzeira, the Kabbalah rabbi grandson of the Babi Sali Thursday says he kissed the rabbi’s hand before stabbing him. “I don't know what devil or Satan got into me” at the moment of the murder.
Asher Dahan, who is in police custody, told the Hebrew-languageMaariv newspaper, “I respect Rabbi Abuhatzeira and depend on him for everything. He was everything for me. I worshipped him.”
Dahan murdered the rabbi, grandson of the renowned “Baba Sali” Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira,” in his conference room later Thursday night.
“Every time I left the rabbi, I had a feeling of happiness and joy,” Dahan told police investigators. He gave me hope there is a solution to everything in life, and I never tight for a moment that perhaps he was wrong.
Dahan had consulted Rabbi Abuhatzeira several times lately concerning marital problems.
“There were problem between my wife and me,” Dahan explained. "I went often to the rabbi for advice, and he told me to do allsorts of things, but the situation only got worse. It caused me personal damage, and it reached point that I was afraid of a divorce.”
He described his actions after he entered the rabbi’s conference room without anyone stopping him or asking him any questions. Dahan waited to be the last one to see the rabbi so he could be alone with him.
“I kissed the rabbi’s hand and said a few words” after entering, Dahan related. "Seconds later, I took out the knife and stabbed him in his chest. He screamed and fell to the floor.”

Shomrim's Policy of discouraging a Jewish Victim from going to Police, violates Federal Civil Rights Statutes!

Chaim Deutsch Flatbush Shomrim Founder shows off his $250,000 "mobile security commans center"

In an article in today's New York Post,  reporter Michael Lesher writes that Shomrim received $130,000.00 in taxpayer money yet refuse to follow New York's mandatory reporting statute. 
Jewish vigilante groups like Shomrim, unskilled and ill-equipped for police work, and all too often driven by religious prescriptions to keep their community’s crimes out of the public eye, are being paid to interfere with the authorities by New York City taxpayers — through the generous offices of some City Council members.

"Obama is a loser" "Nobody loves Obama" : Peggy Noonan

I want to talk about something that started to become apparent to me during the debt negotiations. It's something I've never seen in national politics.
It is that nobody loves Obama. 
This is amazing because every president has people who love him, who feel deep personal affection or connection, who have a stubborn, even beautiful refusal to let what they know are just criticisms affect their feelings of regard. At the height of Bill Clinton's troubles there were always people who'd say, "Look, I love the guy." They'd often be smiling—a wry smile, a shrugging smile. Nobody smiles when they talk about Mr. Obama. There were people who loved George W. Bush when he was at his most unpopular, and they meant it and would say it. But people aren't that way about Mr. Obama. He has supporters and bundlers and contributors, he has voters, he may win. But his support is grim support. And surely this has implications.
