A married man
posing as a high-ranking military officer duped dozens of women into
intimate relationships after meeting them online and spinning an
intricate web of lies designed to garner sympathy, Israel Hayom has
learned.
The man, who in reality is married with
children and the head of a Jewish women's seminary, used a fake name and
told women he was a 38-year-old single man from central Israel who was a
major in the Paratroopers Brigade.
After one woman created a Facebook group
outing the man, more than 100 other women joined, saying they too had
been lied to and hurt by him. The first official police complaint is
expected to be filed on Tuesday.[...]
At the
seminary where he works, the man is in close contact with young women
completing national service and with other young people.
According to B., "There's no question that he
is a psychopath. He so calmly defrauded so many women over such a long
period of time. He is evil incarnate. He would say over and over again,
'It is going to change soon, I will finish my reserve duty and this
work, and we will be free to get out there and live out lives,' as if he
hoped some woman would take him out of this hell, out of the elaborate
trick.[...]
The principal of the seminary where the
man works sent a statement to Israel Hayom saying: "There is no side to
take and no response. Everything will be revealed with the police; a
different picture will come forward. As of now, none of these women have
come forward to me or complained."
These women are just as guilty as this guy. Both the guy and the women he sinned with are all guilty of sexual immorality. The are all halachicly culpable.
ReplyDeletethis is quite bizarre - the man was picking up random women by telling stories of his heroism, which is false. But - disgusting as it is - is no different from a married man going to bars and buying drinks telling women he is a hi tech entrepreneur etc, when in reality he is a cobbler. The fact that he leads a seminary is of particular concern.

ReplyDelete'Simple answer is that abuse in general was not viewed as seriously
harmful until recently - 1970' as a result of the concern for trauma
from the Vietnam war and the Feminist movement. It was viewed before
then primarily as a moral issue - not pikuach nefesh'.
What? So WE are Breaking NEW ground here?
We are learning from the Vietnam Vets? the feminists? Who?
Please explain your words!!
I recall a saying of the Chasam Sofer 'Chodosh ossur min Hatorah'!!
Since when do we make changes to mesorah?
The whole moral battle /Standing against Chasidim was no change EVEN for Beneficial changes.
I would think that a referendum of All accepted Rabbonim and torah leader today even which if all would agree! still wont change the mesorah.
Half of klal yisroel dress in the style of 250 years ago and the other portion dresses like 90 years ago all to keep the mesorah! And you hold that we can today make CHANGES?
Changes ?When we barely have a functional baisdin system that works ,We barely have any rabbonim that know kol hatorah kulah ,So NOW in this POOR generation we will enact NEW deenai Dinai Nifoshos guidelines ?? HOW?
I think the only permitted methods would be a Pirsum of dangerous people,firing. expulsions that we can and must do .. punishments of the money kind ....Cherem ...etc...

Seriously?! Half of all Jews dress like Chassidim? I guess that you're not aware that only about 15% of all Jews consider themselves orthodox or observant. If you aren't considering non-religious Jews, tinokei sh'nishba, as part of Klal Yisrael, then shame on you for your lack of ahavas Yisrael, achdus, and donning l'kaf zechus, ESPECIALLY during the 9 days.
It is far far different than your analogy. I can't believe that you would equate the average cheater/player with the head of a seminary, who is supposed to be a rav and example of midos and Torah to his students, and the rest of Klal Yisrael. He is a rav, for Godsake!
ReplyDeleteThat's right deflect and completely disregard the fact that his role is to be better than the average person because he's a rav and mechanech of impressionable young people. wow
