Malka Leifer ex- Principal of Adass Israel School in Melbourne arrested over alleged sexual abuse

A FORMER principal of a Melbourne Jewish girls’ school has been arrested amid claims she sexually abused students including sisters.

Malka Leifer was arrested in Israel overnight where it is believed extradition proceedings have started in an attempt to have her returned to Melbourne.
The Attorney General’s office confirmed this morning Ms Leifer is wanted in Melbourne to face allegations of historic sexual offending against a string of girls.
The mother of eight left Australia in 2008 after she was sacked as principal at the ultra orthodox Adass Israel School in Elsternwick.
The sacking followed complaints that she had acted inappropriately with students while principal between 2001 and 2008.
Victoria Police launched an investigation into the complaints in 2011.
A police spokesman confirmed this morning that an investigation into “complaints of historical sex offences at an Elsternwick School” continued.
It is believed Ms Leifer could face dozens of charges of indecent assault and rape.
Her arrest is the latest in a string of scandals to rock Melbourne’s orthodox Jewish community.
Manny Waks, founder of sexual assault victims support group Tzedek, said Ms Leifer’s arrest was a welcome development.
“It should be seen in the greater context of the ongoing child sexual abuse scandal that has been plaguing the Australian Jewish community,” he said.
“This is further evidence that the tide is turning within our community.
“Many victims are no longer willing to remain silent, and neither is the community.”
Mr Waks said he expected the Adass Israel School would co-operate fully with the police.
“I also hope and expect that the police will examine all the circumstances surrounding Ms Leifer leaving Australia and hold to account anyone who may have acted inappropriately.”
Adass Israel School principal Prof Israel Herszberg issued a short statement in light of the arrest.
“The school has and will continue to co-operate fully with the authorities but otherwise is unable to comment further where the matters involving Mrs Leifer are before the courts.”
The school, of about 500 students, caters primarily to members of the closed ultra-orthodox Adass Israel Community in Elsternwick and Ripponlea.
In line with their strict religious beliefs students at the school are segregated on the basis of gender and have little interaction with people outside of the community.

Der Yid, Satmar Newspaper accuses IDF of murdering Hadar Goldin, soldier that was murdered by Hamas and kidnapped

Hadar Goldin HY"D

Believe me I am not making this up.

Der Yid, the Zalonie Satmar faction's, Yiddish newspaper, under the Headline  לא תרצח  is writing that the IDF actually murdered the Religious Soldier, Lt. Hadar Goldin.,
Goldin, was an officer in the Givati Brigade, that was part of a group of soldiers who had found a Hamas tunnel in a rural area near Rafah, and they were working on decommissioning it when they were attacked.

Der Yid claims, that since Israel has a policy of "No sodier left behind" when Goldin's

 comrades saw him being kidnapped, they murdered him in cold blood.


DIN: We believe that Menachem Stark HY"D was murdered by the Zalonies, because he had info on the Rebbe, so the Rebbe set him up! We believe that's why they burned his body, so that there would be no finger prints. We believe that the Rebbe had him killed on Shabbos, when everybody was busy eating at the Rebbe's tish. 



This is the filth that


 these Romanian sickos are feeding their readers.






A loose translation of the second & third paragraph:

"For the last 10 days, the Jewish streets are totally in an uproar, about the scary murder story that the IDF perpertrated on one of their own. The IDF condemned and most likely carried out the murder on their own officer with the name Hadar Goldin. 
No! He wasn't a spy, nor was he a traitor , he was a loyal soldier who served in the Givati Battallion in Gaza. There on the battlefield, the IDF condemned him to death and carried thru the order. Hadar never returned and his body was never found. To verify his death, the IDF got experts and their Chief Rabbi Rafi Peretz, and they concluded that he was dead."

3 Year Old Aron Follman dies in bungalow fire, Video

A three year old boy died Sunday night in a bungalow fire at Camp Mareh Yechezkel in Liberty, New York.
Aron Follman of Borough Park died of smoke inhalation in the blaze.

Follman’s mother, who was in the bungalow when the fire broke out, managed to remove her Two other children from the building. 

The bungalow, a double unit, housed two families and all members of the other family were evacuated safely. According to eyewitness reports, the fire is believed to have started in the master bedroom.
Hatzolah members were the first to respond to the emergency call, which came in at approximately 9:48 PM. Several Hatzolah members and a New York State trooper who were among the first to arrive on scene attempted to enter the burning building to search for possible victims, but all were forced to leave because of the severity of the blaze.

The state trooper was one of several people, including two other Follman children, who were transported to the hospital.

A nearby electrical line also caught fire and video taken by one bystander as the fire trucks arrive on scene show the raging flames raging amid warnings of a live electrical wire. Volunteers from both the Liberty and the Swan Lake fire departments responded to the fire a few minutes after 10 PM.

Members of the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office, the Liberty building inspector are all currently on scene.

Litvish Yeshiva Guys Have nothing to do Bein Hazmanim so they protest the IDF that was protecting them!

When the missiles were raining down on  Ashdod and Askelon, the Yeshivas closed and the boys and Yungeleit ran like cockroaches to the north. Now, that Bein Hazmanim has kicked in, they are out like rats in the night fighting those who protect them....
Shame on those cowards! 
This is Torah????
This guy on the left looks like a rich American ..

Hundreds of Charedi men and youths associated with the Jerusalem Faction, a hardline grouping of the non-hassidic haredi community, staged violent demonstrations Sunday evening in several locations across the country, in protest at the arrest of a Charedi yeshiva student who has refused to present himself at IDF enlistment offices when called to do so.

Protests took place in Jerusalem, as well as on major traffic arteries including road junctions close to Bnei Brak, Modiin Illit, Beit Shemesh, Ashdod, and several other locations.
At least four haredi protestors were arrested by police for trying to block major roads and thoroughfares

The yeshiva student in question, Eliyahu Cohen, attends the Orhot David yeshiva in Jerusalem which is associated with the Jerusalem Faction, a breakaway group from the mainstream non-Chassidic haredi Degel Hatorah political movement.

In accordance with the instructions of the movement and its spiritual leader Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach, 83, Cohen has repeatedly refused to present himself at IDF enlistment offices after receiving conscription orders and was originally arrested in March 2014 for failing to report, which prompted mass demonstrations around the country.

Cohen is currently being held in the IDF military’s Prison Six facility near Haifa and has reportedly begun a hunger strike.
According to the Committee to Save the Torah World, a body associated with the Jerusalem Faction, Cohen received another enlistment order last month, and upon refusing to enlist was imprisoned for 20 days. He was subsequently released and then asked once again to report to the recruitment office to enlist and again refused and has now been arrested once again.

A request by The Jerusalem Post to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit to confirm the sequence of events was not answered by time of press.

The Jerusalem Faction, headed by Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach, 83, broke away from Degel Hatorah less than two years ago after Auerbach lost a power struggle with Rabbi Aharon Leib Shteinman, who is the spiritual leader of the Degel movement, and set up the Bnei Torah political party.

Auerbach, who is more isolationist and hardline than Shteinman, has instructed yeshiva students associated with its movement not to present themselves to IDF enlistment offices when called to do so, unlike the Degel movement which instructs yeshiva students to report to IDF offices in order to complete preliminary processing.

The charedi daily newspaper Hapeles, the mouthpiece of Bnei Torah, reported on Sunday that Auerbach had called for protests against the arrest of Cohen.
“According to the instructions the revered Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach, masses of people will go out to demonstrations and protest rallies until the terrible decree is cancelled,” an article in the paper reported.

The terms of the law for haredi conscription passed in March mean that enlistment to the IDF for any haredi man who was 18 and over on the day the law was passed is voluntary, while anyone under this age is obligated to serve but may delay his service for a maximum of three years, meaning that men in this category will only be obligated to enlist starting June 2017.

The Vicious anti-Semite Schabas, vows to probe Gaza operation even without Israel's cooperation

The international anti-Semite jurist who was tapped to head the United Nations Human Rights Council inquiry into Israel’s conduct during Operation Protective Edge defiantly vowed to follow through on his investigation even if the Israeli government refuses to cooperate.
Jew Hater William Schabas
In an interview with Channel 2, the Jew hating, Prof. William Schabas said he will proceed with his probe, “and I might even come to Israel to examine things from up close.”

Schabas has come under a torrent of criticism here in Israel for prior statements regarding the need to bring Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu before an international tribunal for war crimes. Those remarks have prompted Israeli government officials to dismiss him as an impartial investigator, and that his opinions render the panel which he heads “a kangaroo court.”

“The committee hasn’t begun its work,” the Canadian jurist told Channel 2. “When the UN gives us its final approval – and we hope this will be very soon – we will begin our work. It’s very important for us to come to Israel, but this visit won’t be important if the authorities in Israel don’t cooperate with us, despite my hope that they will cooperate.”

Despite calls by Israel to have Schabas replaced, the professor said he will remain in his post. The UNHRC has stated that it stands behind Schabas’s appointment as head of the committee. 

Obama is finally driving Jews from the Democratic party

A  friend who is conservative and  Jewish asks a question: “Given  Obama’s hostile treatment of  Israel, isn’t it time for Jews to have their Ronald Reagan moment?”

By that, he means when the Gipper said, “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. The party left me.”

Without doubt, the party under Barack Obama has left those Jews who view Israel’s security as threatened.

Obama recently told a New York Times interviewer, “Because Israel is so capable militarily, I don’t worry about Israel’s survival.”
That’s shocking, considering Iran’s threat to wipe Israel off the map once it gets nukes. And even as Obama spoke, the Jewish state was in a mini-war with Hamas, which vows to eliminate Israel and is supported by Iran.

Obama apparently doesn’t take those aims seriously, perhaps believing they are only boob bait for the Muslim masses. But if “kill the Jews” is what the masses want to hear, why assume that isn’t official policy? After all, many thought Hitler wasn’t serious, either.

Israel can’t afford to assume its enemies will only talk the talk, so it must act as if those who say they want genocide really do. That’s why it doesn’t play tit-for-tat when it is attacked, and why it is so nervous about Iran.

But Obama’s lack of worry about Israel isn’t limited to his rhetoric, as The Wall Street Journal revealed. The president’s pique at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reached a new high during the Hamas conflict, and Obama is now putting a squeeze on military shipments to Israel.
The State Department insists this is routine, nothing to see here, 
blah, blah, blah. Nonsense.

Even a “review” of American policy is a warning to Netanyahu and an invitation to his political opponents at home that their nation is at odds with its essential ally.

Some American supporters of ­Israel, including Democrats, are furious at Obama. And Israeli media report opposition pols there are blaming Netanyahu for “losing” America.
It is obvious Obama wants a liberal lapdog in Israel, a point underscored by his complaint to the Times’ Tom Friedman that Netanyahu’s poll numbers are very high. “Bibi is too strong,” Obama insisted, saying it insulated him from having to make the decisions Obama wants him to make.

In other words, the Israeli public is also wrong for supporting Netanyahu, and Obama knows what’s best for them. He said that to “preserve a Jewish state that is also reflective of the best values” of its founders, ­Israelis must “find a way to live side by side in peace with Palestinians . . . You have to recognize that they have legitimate claims and this is their land and neighborhood, as well.”

As a platitude, that could be harmless. But remember the context. In that statement, made during a war that Hamas started, Obama made Hamas a synonym for all ­Palestinians.
It’s not, unless he believes all ­Palestinians, including the relative moderates who govern the West Bank, share the Hamas goal of eliminating Israel.
He’s also undermining the long-standing policy of supporting moderate, peaceful Palestinians with the goal of freezing out the terrorists.

To say, as Obama does, that Israel must recognize that Hamas has “legitimate claims” is to reward it for starting the war. It transfers legitimacy and power from Palestinian moderates to the terrorists.
As one Israeli paper put it, “US livid with Israel? Hamas can’t ­believe its luck.”

So, is this the moment when American Jews realize the Democratic Party has left them?
Gallup surveyed 88,000 Americans through June and found that 55 percent of Jews approved of the president, while 41 percent disapproved. Among all religious groups, 
Muslims gave him the highest approval, at 72 percent.
The 55 percent Jewish approval marks a big decline from the 69 percent of the Jewish vote Obama got in 2012, and the 78 percent he got in 2008.

Despite what anti-Semites believe, not all Jews care equally about Israel, and certainly don’t agree on what is best for Israel. Other issues affect their vote as well.
Still, the well-being of the lone Jewish state is a significant factor for many, and they want a president who shares their concern. 

Given Obama’s recent hostile conduct and comments, a new poll likely would find his support falling even more.
It’s not a “Reagan moment,” but it’s getting closer.

Schumer: Defund Human Rights Council If Schabas Is Not Removed As Investigator Of Gaza Conflict

 U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today slammed the United Nations for appointing William Schabas as head of the U.N Gaza Commission and urged the United States to defund and withdraw from the U.N. Human Rights Council if Schabas is not removed.
The anti-Semite Schabas

Schabas has previously made anti-Israel comments and has participated in the 2012 Russell Tribunal on Palestine, evincing a pronounced anti-Israel bias and making him inappropriate to head any potential investigative report on Israel.

Schumer today said that Schabas must be removed as head of the UN Gaza Commission otherwise the U.S. should totally defund the U.S. contribution to the Human Rights Council. 

The U.S. funds approximately 22 percent of the U.N’s annual budget and approximately $1.5 million to the U.N. Human Rights Council.
“Mr. Schabas’s previous comments make him obviously biased against Israel and a supremely inappropriate choice to head any investigation into the Gaza conflict.

In fact, allowing Mr. Schabas to head the U.N. Gaza Commission is like allowing a biased prosecutor to be the judge, that’s why I’m urging the United States to both stop all funding and pull out of the U.N.’s Human Rights Council if Mr. Schabas is not removed. Any investigative findings from Schabas on Israel will be completely subjective and a sham,” said Schumer.

William Schabas is a law professor recently appointed to head the United National Human Rights Council’s commission of inquiry to investigate the Gaza conflict. Schabas has made prior comments suggesting strong anti-Israel feelings.

Specifically, Schabas has stated, “my favorite would be Netanyahu within the dock of the International Criminal Court.” 

 Schabas also stated, “Why are we going after the President of Sudan for Darfur and not the President of Israel for Gaza? Because politics.” 

Additionally, Schabas participated in the Russell Tribunal on Palestine.

Letter from Pninim & Chedvas Girl to Rabbi Kahane

someone who knows said...
I went to Pninim. And Chedvas. I am not here to talk about Meisels although I will say this scandal comes as no surprise. 

But to hear Kahane speak this way just escalated the whole thing to another level. This is coming from a man who refused to accept Pninim girls until Meisels forced him to. He constantly ridiculed him for living the "in-between kinda frum." He mocked him and disagreed with him on everything. He disrespected him to his students with plenty of lashon hara. And now he's telling us to be quiet? 

Now, when we've learned to trust in rabbanim we shouldn't believe what a Beis Din says even if it's lashon hara litoeles? I can't hold back anymore. People need to see what goes on in this seminary. This is how they teach. This is how they live. This is the way they want us to be.
Rabbi kahane,
Are we YOUR army? Did YOU train us? Do you really know what hashem is saying? 

No, I don't hear Him telling chedvas girls to be quiet. I don't hear Him telling me that my knees have anything to do with anything at all besides me and my private modesty which you have no right trying to control. 

You are not a commander. You are not a sergeant. You are not in control of who can save the world and who will merit mashiach. You actually know nothing at all. You are blinded. Misguided. 

You fell for the mystical attraction of religion and you try to pass on falsehood. I have been under your rule. I have experienced your perspective. I have heard your voice in my ear while you yelled through your phone. Because you disagreed with a choice I made about my life. I actually never heard a rabbi scream like that. And it hurt the kind that made me cry. 

Every soldier that dies I think it's my fault. I think god is punishing ME. I automatically feel guilt for every bad thing I hear, because if you do something wrong YOUR DESTROYING THE WORLD! 

Am I? 

So, all who are in favor of succumbing to a cult where you will never find true happiness - stick with chedvas. You will enjoy a fun filled year under a manipulative man who will try to impress on you things you do not need to do so that he can be in control. 

Give it up kahane. You can't control the world. 
I can't destroy it either. 

If you really want to change something I heard the IDF needs some help in Gaza.

'Beginning of the end of Jewish history in Europe' Sharansky Predicts

Jewish Agency chairman responds in part to the rising wave of anti-Semitism crashing over the continent since the start of Israel’s military operation in Gaza.

Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky joined with a growing number of high profile figures in casting doubt on the viability of European Judaism in an article in the Jewish Chronicle.

Writing in the British newspaper, Sharansky asserted that he believes that “we are seeing the beginning of the end of Jewish history in Europe.”

While Sharansky’s comments came partially as a response to the rising wave of anti-Semitism crashing over the continent since the start of Israel’s current military operation in the Gaza Strip, the former refusenik also pointed to a number of long term trends which he said militated against a continuing Jewish presence in Europe.

In April, against the backdrop of an increasing number of Jews indicating that they are uncomfortable with displaying any overt signs of their religious identity publicly, European Congress President Moshe Kantor told reporters in Tel Aviv that “normative Jewish life in Europe is unsustainable” unless the fear in which Jews live can be substantially mitigated.

Citing a November study by the European Union’s Agency for Fundamental Rights that showed that almost a third of Jews in several European countries are mulling emigration, Kantor asserted that “Jews do not feel safe or secure in certain communities in Europe.”

Others have responded in a more alarmist vein, with Vladimir Sloutsker, a former president of the Russian Jewish Congress and current head of the Israeli Jewish Congress, warning MKs that “we are potentially looking at the beginning of another Holocaust now.”

While Sloutsker’s views are certainly not mainstream, there is a consensus among many observers of European Jewry that anti-Semitism and related phenomena serve to drive Jews away from their identity.

Jerusalem and Diaspora Affairs Minister Naftali Bennet is a proponent of this view, having told the cabinet in January that “for every Jew who makes aliya as a result of anti-Semitism, there are many others who cut ties with Judaism and the Jewish way of life.”

In his article, Sharansky asserted that Europe has become “very intolerant of identities in a multicultural and post-nationalist environment” and that as a result Jews are being caught in the middle of a kulturkampf.
“This new antisemitism is very connected to Israel — demonization, delegitimization and double-standards — and is now so deep in the core of European political and intellectual leaders that practically every Jew is being asked to choose between being loyal to Israel and loyal to Europe,” he wrote.

According to a recent study by the Anti-Defamation League, forty five percent of Europeans see Jews as more loyal to Israel than to their countries of residence.
“Europe is abandoning its identities, with the multicultural idea that there will be no such things as nation-states or religion. In post-identity Europe, there is less and less space for Jews for whom it is important to have both identity and freedom,” he explained.

The nationalist backlash, with the election of far-right parties, many of them hostile to Jews, and increasing Muslim immigration both also serve to reinforce Jewish alienation from Europe, he added, using the increasing number of French Jews immigrating to Israel as an example.

In an interview with The Jerusalem Post earlier this year, Rabbi Yosef Pevzner, director of the hassidic Sinai school network in Paris, expressed similar sentiments, stating that many French Jews felt trapped between Islamic anti-Semitism on the one hand, and increasing state secularism on the other, leaving them feeling they no longer belonged there.
“Europe is abandoning its basic values of respecting identities while at the same time guaranteeing full freedom for its citizens,” 

Sharansky continued.
“On the one hand, Europe opens its gates to immigration, to people who are not asked to share its values of freedom and tolerance. And on the other hand Europeans are rushing back towards the right-wing parties who are hostile to ‘the other.’ Then there is the intellectual atmosphere which asks Jews to choose between their loyalty to Israel and their loyalty to Europe. All this creates an impossible situation for Jews. This feeling of non-belonging and disengagement is much stronger than the feeling of aliyah.”

According to Sharansky, the trends he enumerated serve to justify the strategic emphasis placed on Jewish identity programs by the Jewish Agency in recent years.
“Apart from the ultra-Orthodox who will keep their identities, all other Jews who don’t have that connection to Israel will assimilate,” he said, calling a connection to Israel the only other factor that can maintain Jewish identity in the face of the challenges facing continental communities.

European Jews, he continued, may feel that “they can have more Europe in Israel, because it is Israel which is fighting to be both Jewish and democratic. Israel is the place that is fighting for European values. Europe will die here and survive in Israel.”

While many felt that European Jewry would not survive following the Holocaust, “we see today that quite a large Jewish Community still exists in Europe,” Ukrainian Chief Rabbi Yaakov Bleich told the Post in response to Sharansky’s article.
“It is shocking but true. So I think that the Jews are a stubborn nation. And even though hundreds of thousands have made aliyah in these 70 years I think that there will remain a Jewish Community in Europe.”

However, he added, 
“there is an important message in the underlying anti-Semitism which tells us not to feel at home in Europe. Our home is in Israel, and everywhere else is exile.”

While the rise in anti-Semitism has been especially harsh in countries like France, Polish Chief Rabbi Michael Schudrich responded, Europe is not monolithic.
“Some countries like France and others have shown despicable attitudes towards Israel and Jews, yet other countries even unexpectedly have shown sensitivity and even support for Israel also during these past two months,” he told the Post.
“Some of Europe are pushing out its Jews. 

But let us not forget those European countries like Poland that understanding of Israel and supportive and nurturing of local Jewish life.”
"London is not Paris, Malmo is not Antwerp, and Amsterdam is not Budapest, but it is obvious that current trends are all headed in the wrong direction. 
There are two components: the antisemitism and the Jewish reaction to it. The antisemitism shows no sign of slowing, and each eruption of antisemitism now falls upon a previous outbreak, making the overall impact even worse each time. This is the crush of trigger events and critical incidents from 2000 to July 2014. Of course, France is now the critical case in continental Europe. In Britain we are asking if we are the exception, or not," Mark Gardner of the community security trust in London told the Post.

Therapist Letter to Parents Who Send Their Daughters To Seminaries Far From Home!

Is Meir Kahane from Chedvas Seminary a Fake, fraud and a phony? Read the following letter sent to us!

I am a therapist, frum, no not just frum but FFB. I am American born and bred, practicing in Israel. 

I am not a newcomer comer to Yeshivos and Seminaries, like I have said I grew up in the mainstream frum American world (rare among therapists, and even more rare among mechanchim in Israel. But I write this as a regular yid, who happens to have inside exposure to the mess.

I pride myself in having gone to Yeshivos and my family in every direction too. There may some due criticism for all mosdos, and lots for specific ones, but by and large they do devoted and hard work for our children, as was done for us.

Firstly, let us acknowledge this; the vast majority of people working in chinuch are devoted and honest people, who are moser nefesh for a praiseworthy goal. Those who don’t live up to this standard, who are not honest and fair and even worse abusive are the exception. Thank you to all the special true mechanchim!

Now, yes with heartbreak, we must admit not all, and yes it is becoming more and more common, are people we should trust our children, teens or adults too.

As a therapist, I often deal with such cases, of neglect and outright abuse of all types. Whether the issue stems from parents, friends, strangers or the teachers themselves, too often mechanchim and even rabbonim are implicit. It is simply rare to find people who will stand up for the truth, who are not afraid of it. Who will get up and put down their foot to protect and prevent abuse.

At the end of the day, adults are responsible for themselves, people need to fight for their rights, fairly and honestly. Parents are responsible for their children, and as such all I can say, is that it is FRIGHTNING how foolish and willfully blinded people can be when making decisions on where and why it is safe to go places.
(It causes great harm when so many innocent are accused, often by rumors or clearly non-reliable people and their lives ruined without fair and honest investigation. Please, lets be wary of unconfirmed rumors, and be very careful who we really can trust to say one was guilty. Ironically the guilty usually get away and the innocently framed get nailed and shattered).

For many of us in the field this specific expose came as no surprise, nor is it the first time such 'problems' were discovered in seminaries. The writing has been on the wall for years! People in the know make no secret of the questionable situations which come up constantly for young impressionable girls away from home. 

The options include but are not limited to; 
hashkafic crumkeit (the majority of seminaries proudly entertain all types of 'Jewish thought' -little do parents knew what their child will be exposed to), 

sexual education -undesired, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, manipulating for egotistic reasons, peer abuse, dangers of all sorts from within and without seminaries, and more. Every year a number of girls learn the hard way. Not a small number, I myself have a connection with a few dozen a year! And I obviously do not come across all. (I am not only referring to abuse, but also other situations, such as girls getting a lot deeper than they planned or their parents can imagine with other people, etc..).

So, pray tell, Who are we relying on to protect the young and dumb? 

How do we expect young trusting girls to see through delicate guises?! 

I hate to say it but the recent letter from one unscrupulous 'menahel' forces me to cry out! To cry out with the pain of those precious souls we fool ourselves these people are protecting, I have seen too much to be quiet!

We don’t need to be savvy to realize that a person who abuses, is rarely a one time crime. Common sense (and statistics) tell us that those who abuse their powers of charisma and stature are generally repeat offenders. It doesn’t compare to a one time drunk attacker. 

And yes, if a Beis Din of the stature and worldliness of the Chicago beis din, stood up and made a hard statement after months of investigation, clearly only a fool will still be unsure. If they stood up to the danger of taking on a man is not a nobody, a tough guy from powerful background close to home for themselves, this wasn’t a joke. And like I noted, for those in the now the writing has been on the wall for a while.

Just in case anyone could still believe no one knew something was amiss, that not one staff member of this person wasn't privy to real life stories or grounded suspicions is ludicrous.

Most people shuddered when they read the words of Kahane, one of the henchmen. No this is not his fist blatant attempt to cover-up evil for his own advancement. The same manipulative; "you are the saviors, You are my army, Mashiach is coming I have inside info, just follow me" is standard methods for narcissistic manipulators.

This year there was case involving a student in Kahane's 'care'. Nothing that would have implicated him, it actually had no connection to him nor did he bear any responsibility for it. His only connection was that he knew for a while something was desperately wrong and not only did he not deal with it properly, he made sure to control the situation and use it to manipulate the student to remain silent. The name of the seminary stood before him, sic. Somehow the cover-up ended up at the door of one the leading English Rabbonim. This Rov in turn bravely didn't just go to the next caller, like others might but begged a close student of his, a Rabbi and Therapist trained specifically on abuse, to help and evaluate the situation. Warning the Rov of the working of these 'mechanchim', but infuse with a sense of duty, not to allow these people to continue to push peoples pain under the carpet, they took it on.

Sure enough it was soon confirmed that there was a real problem, and worse the seminary and others were exasperating it. At first he repeatedly stated, that proper help was expensive and not his problem (this is called a caring mechanech?) "who cares" its not my problem. But he adamantly refused to concede and allow the proper services to be offered. When he saw his sweet assurances that he knew all and was taking care of were not being accepted due to there absolute falsity.

As soon as this 'Kahane' realized his sweet talk didn't work, he went on an all out battle against this therapist. 
Literally threatening him that he will ruin his name, reputation, harm his family, frame him, etc.
"you are young and know nothing about the real world, if I let people now you are making trouble, your whole life will be ruined. You'll be done, for your own good look away" 

All along kahane swore that anyone but himself would only cause damage to the victim, only he knew (by prophesy we can assume, same channel as 'sinking feeling mashiach is coming bec of him') how to deal with it and what was good for her. Go wonder why he threatened, but refused to prove the proper care was actually being offered. Can we believe a word from such a source?

Worse yet, this Rabbi and Therapist had confirmed (through myself and knowledge from my cases)and in consultation with leading Mental Health Professionals and Rabbonim that Mr. Kahane himself was fully implicit and perhaps more.

I still can hardly believe it but so recklessly and foolishly was he determined to cover-up and 'be in control', that Kahana went so far as to summon the police to the home office of the therapist in middle of the night on supposed fear of an endangered missing student! (At times, therapists see clients in safe conditions at off-hours, especially in delicate student situations so as to avoid unwarranted attention and danger from others. As protocol, such sessions are recorded and a witness remains throughout to maintain safety of the therapist and client.) 

Of course the police, were quite suspicious being called down to a certified session and having been directed exactly where to find an adult student 'missing'. And the attempted threat to the therapist backfired as the police interrogated the student, worried for her safety in school. 

It turned out that she had actually arrived directly from Kahana's home after her having summoned her there at night and she had told him she was going to the therapist. Luckily, the therapist was able to use connections in police to assure them there was no immediate danger with kahana. No, not for kahana and his seminaries business, but for the sake of the frightened young girl.

I can still hear the worry and pain in the voice of this special therapist, when I was woken by him to consult in middle of the night, he was sick to the stomach at the cruelty this mechnaech had shown to a suffering young child crashing her only safety and subjecting her to the horrifying experience. He cried as he described how she had collapsed with fear when the police arrived and begged in tears that she not be left alone to return to seminary. (A kind frum officer and the therapist kindly escorted visibly trembling back to her dorm.)

Immediately, kahane used his full manipulative skills to scare the student away from seeking help or getting guidance from anyone. And Meisels, the owner of the seminary himself worked hard to make sure the police and others stay away.

When attempting to have other seminary colleagues and some Rabonim assist him in intimidating and threatening the therapist from steering her to help, kahane realized that not everyone was fooled by his charisma, and more importantly that this particular therapist had strong connections to back him in Mental Health circles, Rabbinic circles and power centers that be. Only then did he drop the offensive. In the end, due to the reckless endangerment he was subjecting this student to, after consultation with myself and other colleagues we were forced to step away (I must note, this brave therapist, made one last attempt at personal financial expense to circumvent the monsters and not abandon the victim, though he will never get credit for his act or even be able to see the results). 

I don't know if this girl will ever realize how much trouble 'this loving father to his chedvas students' caused her.

The words of his Folly http://frumfollies.wordpress.com/2014/07/24/kahanes-folly/sicken me to no end, having closely seen how narcissistic this man can be, how dangerous people of his like are.

He has not and will not offer to help his students receive help from this scandal, he will do whatever it takes to ensure his position and protect himself by crushing any attempts to open the box and look around.

As is evidenced in several places firsthand, he wasn't unaware, girls complained to him many times. On young woman described in detail phone conversation she had with Kahane. I can attest to the truth, as the conversation transcribed is so perfectly his style it could not have been made up by someone who doesn't know him. -though that doesn't prove its his words, it does show it is a student.

To all the students of his out there, and of Meisles and others, all I can repeat is the words of one of your peers;
 "Do not talk to me about the fact that I “need a shidduch and the malachim in shamayim might talk bad about me to HKB”H”
(-threat from Kahane) like you did on the phone. 
I am not in seminary anymore and am ZERO interested in a seminary mussar schmooze. I am living in the real world and I know who I am inside. And TRUST ME, HKB”H knows as well and He has my back."

As was mentioned in some of the discussions; 
Kahane is not a representative of the proper Yeshiva world. Thankfully we can say his approach to human pain, to Torah, to teaching yiddishkeit and to self proclaiming himself an mechnaech and General of his army, are the products of our yeshiva system. 

As is often the case, the ones who live and work through false manipulation are the kasha ksapchas. The people who come from elsewhere and tout themselves as great mechanchim, baalei haskafah and experts. 

he same ideals and goals which taint the education and then slyly fill young girls with, tell them to cover and confront anything which gets in their way, it is not just a slight. See Kahana  publicly dismiss the clear and public decisions of Chicago's most senior Rabbonim or in the above incident Yerushalyims senior Poskim.
These people are represented of Torah MiSinai, their strength in kiruv arises from mastering manipulative techniques. 

The new development is their people have moved into the seminary business and used the same techniques on Bais Yaakov girls who are more vulnerable because unlike the secular Jews, they are not used to thinking critically about the positions of rabbis.

The four seminaries involved in this scandal, were heavily staffed by out-of-the-box teachers and Rabbis. 

Is there a shortage of normal, ffb, who can give over the same chinuch and haskafah we guarded for generations? 
 For some reasons, Miesles chose, as do many, to surround himself with pawns, people with their own agendas who would not wish to ruin their own careers and agendas with some bothersome incidents. 
Of course, Kahana forgot to mention in either letter that he feels sorry and wants to help any victims of his partner, of course he will do all he can regardless of the facts to silence with holy reasoning any whistleblowers.

Parents, girls, be careful! Don’t just allow the human desire to imagine all is fine to fool you. We need to be careful. If it is necessary to send a young girl far away on her own, we need to be very wary of whose care we entrust her!
As far as the letter from Kahane, please use your sechel, there is nothing more I can say than:
Manipulative, false, corrupt, disgusting and scary.

Obama puts Missile Shipments to Israel on Hold!

The United States is tightening controls on military sales to Israel in the wake of the conflict in Gaza.

On July 20, days after Israel began its ground invasion in Gaza, Israel requested and received a shipment of munitions from the Pentagon without prior approval from the White House, according to The Wall Street Journal.

While Defense Department officials say both sides followed established protocol, the newspaper reported that White House officials were upset that the military did not get White House approval before sending the shipment. The request came as the U.S. urged Israeli restraint in its Gaza operation and days before Israel rebuffed a cease-fire proposal from Secretary of State John Kerry on July 25.

The Obama administration put a subsequent missile shipment on hold. It is now requiring that the White House review every Israeli weapons request rather than having the U.S. Defense Department and Israeli Defense Ministry handle transactions directly.

The Journal reported that an Obama administration official called the change equivalent to “the United States saying ‘The buck stops here. Wait a second … It’s not OK anymore.’ ”

Relations have been tense between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and the Obama administration throughout the conflict, which began on July 8. But Ron Dermer, Israel’s ambassador to the United States, said relations between the two governments were strong.
“Israel deeply appreciates the support we have received during the recent conflict in Gaza from both the Obama administration and the Congress for Israel’s right to defend itself and for increased funding of Iron Dome,” Israel’s U.S.-funded missile defense system, Dermer said, according to the Journal.

Charedi Protesters Clash With Police Over Archaeological Dig Of Jewish Graves

For this they have time! 
All they care about is the dead, they have no respect for the living. 
They protest and riot just like the Arabs and the Shvartzas!
If they would have full time jobs they wouldn't have time for these narishkeitin!
I'll bet the people working at the site, didn't pay off the Asra Kadisha Mafia!

All of Eretz Yisroel is sitting on grave sites, since the land was inhabited for over 5 thousand years.
I wonder why nobody protested when they built Meah Shaarim, I'll bet that was one huge cemetery, since it was outside the walls of Yerushalayim, it stands to reason that they would put a cemetery not far from the Yishuv!

One of these protestors, Avraham Walles z'l, was murdered by an Arab last week at a similar construction site, and they blamed it on the Zionists!

Hebrew Yated Ne’eman, denounces Yeshivah that provides a comprehensive secular education

The Frum world has gone crazy! We must stop this! 
We must get together and stop funding any Rosh Yeshiva that criticizes this normal Yeshivah! We should make it clear to every single Meshulach, that if the Institution that he represents does in any way denounce Yeshiva Darkei Torah, we will not give him a penny!

Just today, a Meshulach with a black leather briefcase, came to me, and before he had a chance to pull out his "Photo Album." I asked, does his kollel "approve or disapprove of Yeshiva Darkei Torah?"
He said, "well, I don't know," so I said, "here is a phone, call the Rosh Ha'Kollel right now and ask him."

So he called, and the Rosh Ha'kollel, told him, he doesn't approve.... 
I then wrote a substantial check to Yeshiva Darkei Torah right in front of him and  told him to kiss me where the sun doesn't shine and to get the H-- out of my sight!

These "gedolim" want to perpetuate parasites and poverty, we must put an end to this craziness!
 
Rabbi Yisrael Cohen-Rozovski Shlitah

 A new Charedi yeshiva that provides a comprehensive secular education alongside religious studies has aroused consternation and bitter criticism from the Charedi establishment. 

Yeshiva Darkei Torah was founded by Rabbi Yisrael Cohen-Rozovski one year ago and is poised to begin its second academic year in several weeks time when the Israeli academic year begins.

Despite having been up and running for a year and having had 25 enrolled students, Darkei Torah has only this week caught the attention of the Charedi establishment, and was bitterly denounced on Tuesday and Wednesday for combining religious and secular studies in the same institution by Yated Ne’eman, the largest selling Charedi daily newspaper and mouth piece for the Degel Hatorah non-hassidic Charedi political movement.

Cohen-Rozovski has been an activist for education and employment within the Charedi sector for close to twenty years but said that in recent years it was becoming clearer to him that change needed to be made at an earlier stage in the educational career of Charedi youth.

He said in particular that the intense, detailed study of Talmudic minutiae was not appropriate for everyone and that this method of study was frustrating for many students and does not provide a sense of satisfaction or achievement.

“In recent years the Charedi sector has begun to integrate more into Israeli society and to understand that it needs to be part of everyday reality,” Cohen-Rozovski told The Jerusalem Post.

“The Charedi community is in some ways like a group of new immigrants which must integrate but is finding it hard to do so,” he observed.

The process is underway however, Cohen-Rozovski asserted, and pointed to the growing exposure of Charedim to the internet and the new sources of information and horizons that it provides.

“The children of the revolution are requesting to make something of themselves. The Charedi world is being exposed to the idea that they can be Charedi Jews who are faithful to the Torah and the commandments and at the same time support themselves financially as well.

“This is the model for Charedi Jewry, which in the Diaspora, where Charedim are lawyers, accountants, businessmen and outside of their work hours study Torah,” Cohen-Rozovski continued.

“Right now, a young Charedi man will start his yeshiva studies but sees no horizon where he can gain an education and an income but nevertheless wants to make something of himself and realizes he needs and education to do this.”

To this end, Cohen-Rozovski established Yeshiva Darkei Haim in Jerusalem for young Charedi men. The institution is styled as a yeshiva gevoha or “advanced yeshiva,” for ages 17 and over which the overwhelming majority of young Charedi men attend after their secondary education which is generally comprised only of religious studies.

The yeshiva provides a daily schedule of three hours of religious studies in the morning, followed by five and a half hours of studies either for a high-school diploma or for professional, vocational courses in hi-tech.

The yeshiva offers 21 different academic units for the Israeli high-school diploma which is taught in an intensive one-year program. In addition, a vocational course in website building and design is on offer as well as an Open University in Computer Science in which Open University lecturers come to the yeshiva to teach.

In the last academic year 25 students joined Darkei Hayim, and Cohen-Rozovski says that the yeshiva will grow in size this year to between 50 and 60 students.

He said that parents from a variety of different backgrounds in the Charedi community had decided to send their children to the yeshiva, and that those from the mainstream were well represented.

It is the success in gaining significant numbers of students that Cohen-Rozovski says has led to this week’s bitter attacks against this yeshiva.

In an article on the yeshiva in Yated Ne’eman on Tuesday, the newspaper branded the initiative “dangerous,” “illegitimate,” and cited the words of two former leaders of the Charedi world on the issue who called the combination of religious and academic studies “the wielding of an ax towards the Charedi world.”
And in the paper’s editorial on Wednesday, it wrote that “even if those behind such initiatives have good intentions they are still sinning and causing the masses to sin.”

It wrote that if people wanted to leave yeshiva altogether and find a job then that is their own personal choice but that the attempt to teach both religious and secular studies at a yeshiva was “the first time that an initiative has been started to adorn a pig with a golden ring, to dress the head of a non-Jew with a Jerusalemite yarmulke, to erect a cross in the sanctuary of the king and to turn a sin into a religious commandment.”

Cohen-Rozovski rejected the criticism on ideological grounds and also intimated that it was politically motivated.

He noted that in the past two days since the exposure in the Charedi press he had received eight new applications to the yeshiva and had not received any cancellations from students already enrolled.

Currently, the yeshiva is supported by private donations and the backing of charitable foundations although it is also seeking support from the Ministry of Education for its study program.
