If you're in the mood to find organized Jewry horrifying this little article will do the trick:


In Sexual Abuse Case, Muted Praise From One Corner
www.nytimes.com
A rabbi who has been fighting to expose sexual abuse cases in the Hasidic community says District Attorney Charles J. Hynes was late to the cause.




Some choice quotes:
Shame spreads a stain to many corners. A few months ago, David Zwiebel, executive vice president of Agudath Israel, an Orthodox organization, acknowledged that dissidents had surfaced a troubling issue. But, he asked, is it “worth the cost?” “At the very least, he added, “it’s rechilus, lashon hara, and bittul zman.” Translated this means malicious gossip, evil tongue, and telling tales, all prohibited by the Torah.
As Fred McDowell has already pointed out, the author has mistranslated "bitul zman"

"I guess that the actual meaning is so absurd that the writer could hardly believe that this is really what Zwiebel said." McDowell posted. And yet, that is what is what Zweibel said.
On Monday, I asked another prominent group, the Orthodox Union, if it had anything to say on the conviction of Mr. Weberman. Its president, Simcha Katz, offered that his organization has long opposed child molesting.
That is a comfort.
The OU has opposed child abuse since c2001. Pre lanner they were basically Satmar on the subject. Read the article for more
