רב אנס נערה בת 15 בבית כנסת


Walla
רב של בית מדרש בפתח תקווה ירצה חמש שנות מאסר בגין שורת עבירות נגד ארבעה אחים, שתי נערות ושני נערים, בהן אונס, מעשים מגונים, תקיפה והתעללות – כך קבע בית משפט השלום בעיר. בפרקליטות אמרו כי האיש בן ה-42 ניצל באופן ציני את אמונתם של המתלוננים באלוהים ובו: "ניהל אותם באמצעות כוחו המאגי כבובות על חוט".
מגזר הדין עולה כי שלושה מארבעת האחים, בן ושתי בנות, הגיעו ללמוד אצל האיש במהלך שנת 2009 שכן הוא היה ידוע בתור מי שמעניק שיעורי תורה לילדים במצוקה. אחותם הגדולה הגיעה מידי פעם לנקות את בית הכנסת המדובר. כבר בתחילה הוא החל להפעיל מניפולציה על ארבעת האחים, וטען בפניהם בין היתר שיש לו כוחות נסתרים. בהמשך הפכו ההבטחות לאיומים – שאם האחים יעזבו אותו הם ימותו, ושאם הבנות לא יפסיקו ללכת עם גופיות הן יחלו במחלות עור.

  1. There is a clue why they don't want the Safety Cameras be viewed directly by the Police.

    1. I am sorry to sound cynical and anarchistic - but this is a result of having too many people in Yeshiva and producing too many rabbis. By having anyone and everyone become a rabbi, it lowers the status and moral qualities of the rabbanim.

    2. Eddie,
      I don't see the connection between having a lot of rabbis and rabbis turning into fiends. If you want to blame something for the fiends, you can talk about Shalom Bayis, for instance, but although I agree with your basic thought that everybody should not have to learn all day and not work, I don't see how that produces the most hideous destruction.

    3. It is of course proper that people react strongly to people who damage other people especially children. But when people make a mamzer, do we also get riled up? That is the real child abuse, but the people who do it are honored as rescuers of "Agunoth."

    4. I'll explain you the difference: children who suffer child abuse suffer on their own body and psychological development. Children born Mamzerim only suffer on the hands of society, if their society chooses to make them suffer. (I suppose that's why there is a long-standing tradition of not outing mamzerim.)

      "I don't see the connection between having a lot of rabbis and rabbis turning into fiends."

      50 years ago, only people with a calling would become Rabbis, and they would either work as shul rabbis or behind the scenes, eg Yeshiva, kashrut etc.
      Today, yeshivas are mass-producing rabbis, and pushing them into all kinds of interfaces with the community. Many of these people have mental problems, and may not have been rabbis or even religious without the yeshiva industry. Come to think of it, a lot of these types entered the rabbinate in the previous generation as well.

    7. Eddie your paint brush is too wide - you are not only smearing the rabbis but in effect any field where there are less than perfect candidates - whether lawyers, police, teachers etc etc. So if every field has many inappropriate candidates it is not characteristic of rabbis - so what is your point?

      Please show that those who go into the rabbiniate - for whatever reason - are in fact more likely to be perverts, mentally ill etc etc. There is no such statistic.

    8. @ DT, i will try to explain my point.

      it was the leadership of the Chazon Ish and later Gedolim, such as Rav Shach, who wanted to compensate for the terrible losses in the Shoah, by creating a new Charedi world. But this was a chareidi revolution which was probably detached from the reality of Europe before the war. So masses are being deprived of secular opportunities, and being forced into becoming rabbis and earning a living through this. In other words, it is a false economy, and it is not that people want to become rabbis out of conviction, but it is the only opportunty open to them. hence it would seem logical that a higher number of unseemly characters will come into the game.

      By analogy, R' Tzaddok gave the same argument, but applied to the conscription in the army. He said that because of conscription, you will get a lot of people who will be lousy soldiers. A professional army would have higher quality soldiers. Same goes with the hareidi conscription into yeshivot. You get a lot of people unsuited to the high caliber required to be a rav.

      In the examples you gave, eg lawyers, police, teachers etc - although there are definitely cases of abuse, why is it that more often than not, it is a a Rabbi who is being arrested and prosecuted? there are two possible answers:

      a) that there is over-reproting or Yeshiva/rabbiical cases and thus under-reporting of the secular. or,

      b) that there is a higher incidence of abuse amongst Rabbinical teachers (eg cases per 1000) than in secular professions.

      Since there is reporting of secular cases, and the secular sector is greater than the rabbinical sector, and that we see maybe a 5:1 or 10:1 incidence of cases (rabbinical: secular) then this is prima facie evidence of a higher rate of abuse amongst the rabbinical sector.

  2. Can you please clarify that you are not equating a rabbi who is a rapist with a rabbi who is acting, in his mind l'shem shamayim. Everyone (I hope) sees rape as horibly wrong, while not everyone agrees with your halachik position.
