Kolko case: Halachic basis of the father's actions against Kolko

  1. Well we always say we want to be like our ancestors and the Navi did compare our ancestors to nobles of S'dom so really isn't this just a fulfillment of that?

  3. מצוה לפרסם!!

    The attitude is changing very quickly, and the community is very receptive. Please please print it out and give/fax it to the many that don't have internet access.

    As many have said, "Lakewood is not perfect yet, but we're getting there!!!".

  4. "The Following pages were distributed around Lakewood by a group, who have the utmost respect for, and greatly admire, the Rabbi that was terribly shunned by our community."

    Why don't the members of this group identify themselves by name? Do they fear retaliation from their holy, G-d fearing community? Is the author identified by name, or his he afraid of retaliation, too?

  5. Lakewood has produced some "talmidei chachomim' who are removed from the pure halachic process and have perverted it wilfully. I experienced it in Melboune with the Rosh Kollel of the Lakewood Kollel. One of these days, I will write to Rav Heinemann, who he used and abused for his "own", and ask Rav Heinamann what sort of Teshuvah and Onesh should be meted against this "Rosh Kollel". I'm not surprised, regrettably.

  6. It's easy to blame Lakewood, and assume it's honky dory everywhere else. I believe the facts are just the opposite.

    There are known and convicted pedaphiles all over Boro Park, monsey, New Square, etc....

    Education is key and I think we're getting there. Here is one example of a shift that I believe is significant...

    There is a popular news website owned by Yated (based in Monsey) called Matzav. Until recently they have not covered any news regarding abuse. The only thing they posted was the letter from the guy that was incorrectly put on JCW's Wall of shame. But, in the last couple of weeks they featured two very important videos, R' Noach Olbaum's shiur that one must report abuse, and three video released by JCW from their conference on abuse in LA!!

    WERE BEING MATZLIACH, AND THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THE FATHER OF THE VICTIM IN THE KOLKO CASE WILL HAVE A GRAND KABALAS PONIM, AMEN.

    1. Is that true that MATZAV is owned by Yated and R. Pinchos Lifshitz?
