Popular Jewish retailer Eichler's will no longer carry the books of Israeli haredi (ultra-Orthodox) author Chaim Walder following accusations made against him of rape and sexual assault of minors, its CEO Mordy Getz announced over Twitter.
Walder's books will no longer be available in their store, or online at Shopeichlers.com.
"This
decision was not made lightly, and will no doubt come at a heavy
financial cost, as these books were bestsellers," Getz wrote, "but as a
business that cares deeply about our community, we cannot ignore the
pleas we have received on behalf of the alleged victims."
