Cloistered Shame in Israel

That realization is sinking in with some socially conscious rabbis. In Febuary, Rabbi Meir Kessler from Kiryat Sefer called two late-night meetings in which 3,000 parents were urged to warn their children that even men in beards and hats are capable of evil. The rabbi’s candid sermon has stirred debate among the shuttered Haredim. One stunned participant told reporters that “not since Moses” had a rabbi spoken publicly on such forbidden sexual topics. The spate of abuse cases prompted Israel’s chief Ashkenazi rabbi, Yona Metzger, to call on his fellow religious leaders “to vomit these parents and rabbis out of the camp and do everything in our power to save the souls of these young children.”
