Times of Israel There is a monster in Jerusalem as well. No
one has ever laid a hand on him either. But this one is definitely real.
His name is Avroham Mondrowitz.
Mondowitz is a paedophile who molested up to
300 boys in Brooklyn in a mainly ultra-Orthodox section of the city —
we’ll never know the real number of victims — and then skipped out to
Israel in 1985 where he twice fended off efforts to send him back to
face justice. Mondowitz, who presents himself as an ordained rabbi and
Columbia-trained psychologist, and is neither, lives free as a bird in
the neighborhood of Nachlaot in central Jerusalem.
The US twice sought his extradition from
Israel, in 1986 and again in 2008. The first time the two states
discovered incredibly that their extradition treaty covered only sexual
abuse crimes against females and not males. The second time they worked
with a revised treaty. A lower court ruled for the extradition. The
Supreme Court nixed that saying that Israel had 20 years to get this guy
hiding in plain sight and to come along after such an extraordinary
period of time violates his civil rights. You can’t make this stuff up.
He may gone off the radar in Israel but they
have not forgotten Mondrowitz in New York. Just last month the Post ran
still another article on how the man they call “New York’s most
notorious child molester … got away with it.”
Ultra-orthodox rabbis are renown for spending their entire lives
memorizing a multitude of precepts produced by a multitude of sages down
their ages and then applying them to every situation in their waking
lives so that every minute of every day they will always be doing the
right thing. But when it comes to paedophiles in their community
somewhere along the line they reached outside the box for their guiding
precept. They adopted it from Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru. These are
Japanese monkeys. Their names mean see no evil, hear no evil, speak no
evil. In an amazing triumph for the ecumenical movement it turns out
that Catholic prelates adopted the exact same precept in regard to
paedophiles among the ministers of their faith. Some like the Monsignor
William Lynn of Philadelphia, who got up to six years for “child
endangerment,” are now in prison. The judge convicted him of shielding,
protecting and aiding “monsters in clerical garb.” Mondrowitz got help
along the way too up to and including illegal acts of obstruction of
justice but we’ll never learn from whom. The Catholics operate in a
strict hierarchical system. There but for the grace of decentralization
go our child endangerers. [...]
He used the boys sent to him as sex toys, In
ultra-Orthodox culture members of the flock are expected to choose a
rabbi. When they need guidance in any matter not excluding their
personal lives, they seek it from their rabbi. What he tells them is
binding. From empirical evidence it appears that all the rabbis on the
subject of paedophilia imposed “omerta,” an Italian word meaning a code
of silence. No one reported Mondrowitz to the authorities. Then he got
careless. He lived in a mixed neighborhood. Mondrowitz developed an
appetite for boys of Italian extraction. Their folks were not bound to
any omerta. Parents of four boys went to the police. Two cops came round
to arrest Mondrowitz. They were too late. He was already en route to
Canada and from there headed to the Promised Land. [...]
