Taking Sides Before Learning The Facts
Question:
Rabbi Tropper, why do a few sites who have written about this assault take a side before finding out the facts.
Feivel L.

Answer:
That is something that only they can answer. The assault is something that I feel is not a topic of discussion on a blog. Particularly in Chodesh Elul.
Spend your extra time learning Divrei Chizuk and Mussar.
Question:
Rabbi Tropper, there was a story that appeared in the news paper about you being assaulted. Is that True?
Heshy D.
NY, NY
Answer:
The Story was only reported to the police not to any Newspaper . Whoever reported it to the Press did an injustice to all parties. It took place 5 months ago, on april 26th at 5:55am in Jerusalem."
