Esther Shkop, Dean of Chicago Girl School, blames sexual abused girl.


Sexual Abuse Victim Demeaned and Put on Notice for Misconduct at Hebrew Theological College

Hebrew Theological College Dean Doctor Esther Shkop demeans student survivor of sexual abuse and puts her on notice for having the audacity to talk about her experience. Kaylie's* (a pseudonym) courage is to be applauded. The college's actions are outrageous.

Kaylie*, an 18 year old College student in Chicago had recently posted this image on her Facebook page with this caption:
I'm a survivor of sexual abuse.

This is not a new thing. I've been a survivor as long as you've known me.

Are you going to change your opinion of me just because three evil people took advantage of me?

Are you embarrassed of me? Are you willing to share our story?

Let's see who my real friends are.”

Just a few hours ago, Kaylie* received the following email from one of the dean’s at her school with the subject line “Breaking all Boundaries”:

From: Esther Shkop <shkop@htc.edu>
Date: Thu, Feb 28, 2013 at 12:11 PM
Subject: Breaking all Boundaries
To: [REDACTED]
Cc: "olstein@htc.edu" <olstein@htc.edu>, "lipshitz@htc.edu" <lipshitz@htc.edu>


I received an anonymous phone call last night with a message from one of your "friends" on Facebook, who expressed great consternation and concern that you have chosen to publicize to "friends" (regardless of their age, sincerity and level of intimacy) your history of sexual abuse.  Your public Facebook page is troubling enough, as is your Google history [which are open to the whole world].  It is troubling primarily because you have chosen to identify yourself by your pathology.  You no longer appear as a full human - but rather as "case study" of a young woman warped by her childhood experiences, and is thus identified wholly by that past.

I am not asking you to deny your pain.  I am asking you to exercise a measure of discretion, and develop a plan to go beyond your past  towards healing.  You seem too intent on wallowing in the past, and drawing sick attention to yourself for all of the wrong reasons.
At the same, you identify yourself as a student of Hebrew Theological College, and by association besmirch your peers as well as yourself.

This misuse of social media is definitely a violation of the HTC Personal Conduct Policy (see page 17 in the Student Handbook). Consequently, the HTC Administration is putting you on formal notice that all inappropriate materials should be removed from your Facebook page forthwith - both on the front page and the back pages.

If you have questions about what is and is not appropriate, feel free to come to speak to me or Mrs. Lipshitz.

Sincerely,
Ester Shkop

Hebrew Theological College’s actions would reduce free speech to misconduct and Kaylie* and her courage to nothing. The school’s actions are the only misconduct, and it is utterly horrendous.

If you believe the school should rescind its notice of misconduct and issue an apology to Kyalie* and other survivors, please contact:

Meilach Spitzer the animal that slapped a 10 year old finally arrested!


First reported by Dus Iz Nies here exclusively:
The principal of a major religious school has been charged with assault, accused of slapping a 10-year-old student in the face several times.
Rabbi Meilech Spitzer was charged late last week following an investigation by the village police. Police officials have not returned telephone calls about the arrest and have not released details of the Feb. 12 incident involving the administrator of the United Talmudical Academy, a Satmar Hasidic Jewish school on Madison Avenue. But in a criminal complaint obtained by The Journal News, Spitzer is charged with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, and accused of intending to physically harm the child. The complaint is signed by Spring Valley Police Detective Kevin Freeman.
Spitzer slapped the victim “numerous times on the left side of his face and left ear,” according to the complaint. The boy’s left eye swelled up as well as the left side of his face and ear, according to the complaint. The boy also had red marks across the left side of his face and ear. The incident had been reported by Dusiznies.blogspot.com that caters to the the ultra-Orthodox community. Dusiznies blog posted photographs of the boy’s face.
Spitzer, who gave the police a Brooklyn address of 147 Rutledge St., could not be reached for comment at United Talmudical Academy.A message was left at his home on Monday with a woman who identified herself as his wife. She said she would give him the message.Spitzer’s lawyer, James Licata, declined to comment when contacted Monday morning. Licata represents Spitzer as a private lawyer, but he has been the county chief public defender since 1993, an appointed position by the county executive.Licata said Spitzer has not appeared in Spring Valley Justice Court. His court appearance is scheduled for April 4. The United Talmudical Academy operates a number of schools under that name in New York City, specifically Brooklyn, and suburbs like Rockland, including Monsey and Spring Valley, for boys and girls in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Along with operating the school for hundreds of students, the academy owns a building on South Main Street, up the block from Route 59. In April, the academy was cited by Spring Valley for doing jack-hammering an old school administration building's balcony for removal, causing an asbestos-insulated ceiling to partially collapse.
School officials filed for the permit but had not gotten approval because the Building Department still was reviewing its plans.

Monsey Rabbis Change Name of Taanis Esther, & Megillas Esther, to Taanis Achashveirosh, & Megillas Achashveirosh because of "Tzeeniois"


EXCLUSIVE TO "Dus Iz Nies"



קול קורא

היות אז די דורות זענען שוואכער געווארען אין די עניינים פון צניעות , האבן מיר מחליט געוועהן די פאלגענע גזירות:

(א) תענית אסתר וועט מען ריפען ״תענית אחשורוש״ , אסתר׳ס משפחה נאמען

(ב) מגילת אסתר וועט מען ריפען ״ מגילת אחשווירוש״, אסתר׳ס משפחה נאמען

(ג) דער עולם וועט קלאפען ווען  דער בעל קורא ליינט די וערטער ״ נערות בתולות טובות מראה״ אין ווען מען ליינט ״והנערה יפת תאר וטובת מראה״ אין אוך ווען מען ליינט ״ ויאהב המלך את אסתר מכל הנשים ותשא חן וחסד לפניו מכל הבתולות״ אין אוך ״והמן נפל על המטה אשר אסתר עליה״ ......

דאת איז כדי די מענער זאלען נישט האבן שלעכטע מחשבות...
אין דעם זכות וועט מען האבען א ישועה בקרוב 

מאת וועד הצניעות דמנסי 
This is totally outrageous, frumkeit gone mad! Here is a loose translation:
Kol Korah

Since the generations have become weaker in Tzneeios, we have decided as follows:

(A) Taanis Esther will now be called by Esther's family name ... Taanis Achashveirosh.

(B) Megilas Esther will now be called by Esther's family name .... Megillas Achashveirosh.

(C) We will now drown out the reader of the Megillah, by banging, when he gets to the following parts..

" The girl was finely featured and beautiful"

 and when the reader reads " The King loved Esther more than all the women, and she won more of his grace and favor than all the girls"

and when the reader reads, "and Haman fell on Esther's 
bed."

The above rules were instituted so the men listening will have pure thoughts

In the merit of abiding with the above rules, we will certainly have our salvation soon.

Lawmaker wants to ban anonymous comments from internet



A recently introduced bill in the Illinois state Senate would require anonymous website comment posters to reveal their identities if they want to keep their comments online.
The bill, called the Internet Posting Removal Act, is sponsored by Illinois state Sen. Ira Silverstein. It states that a “web site administrator upon request shall remove any comments posted on his or her web site by an anonymous poster unless the anonymous poster agrees to attach his or her name to the post and confirms that his or her IP address, legal name, and home address are accurate.”
The Democratic lawmaker’s bill, which does not ask for or clarify requirements from entities requesting the comment removal, would take effect 90 days after becoming law.
Pseudonymous and anonymous comments have long been a critical part of U.S. public discourse, though, and the bill may be on shaky legal ground.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) noted on its website that the “right to anonymous speech is also protected well beyond the printed page.”
“Thus in 2002 the Supreme Court struck down a law requiring proselytizers to register their true names with the mayor’s office before going door-to-door,” wrote EFF, noting that the Supreme Court protects Internet commentary as it does pamphleteering.
The bill is part of a larger trend of lawmakers seeking to censor anonymous online speech.
The New York State Assembly sought the passage of a similar bill in May 2012, and Arizona lawmakers worked to ban Internet trolling altogether in April 2012. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed the bill into law in May 2012, but only after the contentious language was cut.
Local lawmakers took similar action in Tennessee in 2012, when the Shelby County Commission pressed for a court order to reveal the identities of online commentators who posted nearly 9,000 comments on Memphis news site, Commercial Appeal.
Silverstein did not return The Daily Caller’s request for comment.

The 54-year-old man, Rabbi Chaim Halpern, who is a prominent Hasidic rabbi, is accused of using his unlicensed couples therapy practice to seduce and sometimes rape married women. Halpern is also accused of raping single women and undergae girls.

Three other men, aged 62, 64 and 25, a brother of Halpern and another member of the London Shomrim patrol, were arrested for allegedly perverting the course of justice in relation to the case of Halpern, by intimidating witnesses, bribing victims, bribing witnesses, extortion and violence.

Supporters of Rabbi Chaim Halpern had threatened, harassed and assaulted members of the community who tried to publicize the alleged crimes of Halpern or involve the police. Halpern went to court recently in order to gain access to the names of those who exposed his crimes on internet blogs.

Police have also searched the files belonging to Halpern and seized his computers. 

Jewish Doctor jumps to his death


A popular Jewish doctor committed suicide for an unknown reason, according to press reports in New York City.

The Manhattan doctor jumped 30 floors to his death from his Upper East Side, Manhattan, high-rise apartment in an apparent suicide, police and witnesses said.

The body of Doctor Sheldon Steinbach, 68, who was an anesthesiologist, crashed into a second-floor balcony of the building, at 246 East 63rd Street, in the morning.

"I heard a big bang and we looked out and I saw the docotr. His body just exploded," an eyewitness who lives two floors above where the doctor landed, said.

"A doorman later told us that a woman was looking for her husband," the witness said.
"The police had already covered the body at that time. The doorman however, put two and two together," the witness added.

Police do not suspect any criminality.
The personal description in his twitter account said: "I am an anesthesiologist in New York, and I'm having a good day. I love aerobic activities and music."

Steinbach spent much of his career in New York, studying medicine at New York Medical College in Valhalla in 1968 and completed his training at Staten Island University Hospital and New York Presbyterian Hospital, state records showed.
