Aside from his deep mehalech haLimmud and his unique Musaar insights, Rav Perr cared deeply for Klal Yisroel, helping Agunos throughout his life, standing up for the downtrodden, the poor, Baalei teshuvah, Geirim, and he stood strongly for Kiruv. He stood for Yashrus in every aspect of it.  Whenever a danger to Klal Yisroel arose, he stood at the forefront to stop it.  Rav Perr was one of the first to stand strong against molesters in Jewish education.  He challenged others in yashrus – backing the nusach below when others did not.  We, the undersigned, affirm that any individual with firsthand knowledge or reasonable basis to suspect child abuse has a religious obligation to promptly notify the secular law enforcement of that information.
