horrible, but not surprising-I work with an Ottawa Charitable that is involved with helping battered women-I am unable to get a request for volunteers into a shul newsletter. thank you for pulling back the curtain, shining the light-you are brave and righteous.
Shocking; horrifying; reprehensible. Does the shul not realize that their actions suggest they support male violence against women and children, and male supremacy, in the community?!
I believe you, and I applaud your courage. I'd go so far as to say that I believe the "board" believed you, also. You were just road kill. They already had an agenda, and protecting innocent children was not high on their list.
I am so sorry for your experiences. You did not deserve to be doubted & to be called a liar. You’re a very strong individual for coming forward to protect others from this person. God bless!! 🙏😔
Beautiful talk from the soul. It pains me to hear and wish I personally could have been a support years back. I did not understand the depths of the trauma from neither you nor the others.
Perpetrators are excellent at deflecting, minimizing, conveniently "forgetting," changing direction...the list goes on and on. That seemingly religious individuals choose to conduct this kind of behavior is appalling. The amount of courage it takes to come forward is beyond measure. I know because I did it...followed by 5 1/2 years of head therapy. Thank you for what you are doing!!!
It is horrible what she endured at their hands - however - did she, as an adult educator - ever go to law enforcement and have him dealt with????It was obvious to her she was going to get absolutely no help from her community. If no one went outside and reported him - how many children did he continue to abuse? They never stop, especially when they are shown they will be protected. I hope someone did go outside their community and report him. It is obvious this was just another group of religious men protecting other "religious" male abusers. It's not just one religion - it goes on in every single one it seems.
Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for showing that you and others are are here and will be heard! I believe you and everyone else that came forward!
Thank you for sharing your story. Your story will never be forgotten and you are a beautiful strong women with the ability to make a strong impact in this world .
Two very important pieces of information were left out in her speech, one- if this man is still in his positions of authority in the community and still has access to other children and two if his name/face is up on the wall and so that others know to stay away from this sick piece of charah that was being backed by the community.
Talk about a gaslighting community! I’m so sorry this happened. You are so strong to stand up and speak your truth! I’m glad you spoke up for yourself and your community. You are a survivor and a hero!
Good to see so many people in the room listening to your story. I hope that most of them are supporting you. Thankfully you were believed by some parent.s. I understand what you have been through; not being believed is the very worst part of the who evet. I hear the applause for you in the room. Take heart, you are not alone.
I'm so sorry about your abuse and the damage it caused. Even in families this same thing happens. Unfortunately today some people lie about abuse to get revenge on people, because of some form of hatred. I do believe you because I hear the pain in your voice and I know it myself. People don't often understand what strength it takes to come through these things. I give you a great applaud because you continued to speak up, I shut my mouth and gave up for a while. But you are a special brave woman and I admire you for that
This gives me so much pain. I am so sorry what you had to go through. She is screwing all her strength more than she could do. May Hashem guard her and be strength of her. May he quickly destroy her abusers evil minds around these oppressed souls.
People have to learn how to say "No I will not answer questions publicly, or submit to being questioned by the abuser." We sometimes forget not to answer people's questions, until we have the ear of the right person who can help. Of course the abuser would defend himself. It's inexcusable for the others to defend him, considering how many people came forward.
This sounds like organised crime! The abusers are being systematically protected and a clear message is sent to the victims: "Don't you DARE speak or else!" In my opinion, the child rapists, the board as well as the parents who keep the omerta are equally guilty. I just hope there is a special place in Hell for all of them.
Usually fear causes people to protect others and pretend it isn't happening or isn't as bad as it really is, though they know it is. Fear is the worst enemy to mankind because it usually makes people do things or act in ways they don't want to. We need to help people be less afraid, and this woman is one of the very people achieving this
It was so painful to watch. I feel for her terribly. I wish her soul be comforted justice to be brought to her life and to her students. May Sechina dwell in her house.
Are there no sense of boundaries in your community between rabbis and their students? I've watched numerous videos where very young children are starting school in the Jewish community and the rabbis seem way to clingy and touchy for any sense of appropriateness. I realize that rabbis hold a special place in the community however perhaps it's time to teach them about physical boundaries and why thy are necessary.
Have only made it through four minutes and fifteen seconds of this shocking account of classic corruption on the part of individuals and institutions in Canadian society that abuse the power they’ve been given by the community.
Time to stop doing after the ways of mitzrayim which is what this is. The non Jew knows nothing of the fact that our Patriarchy is not at all like yours.
chazak v amatz...these scoundrels and hypocrites must be exposed, nd punsihed....its sickening and as prevelant amongst orthodox jews as among the roman catholic church....
I suspect that some of the "witnesses" probably did come to believe the victims, but had no idea what to do about it, and no frame of reference to put this into.
This is deplorable. Trying to put the Blame on you. You are beautiful And intelligent. Brave and strong. The catholic church Covered up for hundreds Of pedophile priests And abusive nuns Who caused deaths Of innocent children. You are amazing......
8:00 I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. How about "you owe it to them to take it extremely seriously"? Does she really think that people never lie about this? Yes, it's rare but it still happens. The way she was treated was horrifying, especially considering how many more people came out about this Rabbi. But throwing the principle behind due process out the window is dangerous. EDIT: I realize my comment may have come off as combative and insensitive. I am not commenting on her story, specifically. I do believe her, based on what I've seen. All I'm saying is that automatically believing everyone, including adults is dangerous. False sexual abuse allegations have most certainly been used as revenge against people in the past and it's important to keep that in mind. I don't have an issue with the fact that she was questioned. The MANNER of questioning was despicable however and it clearly showed their bias. There needs to be a healthy and rational middle ground between believe no one (especially if the accusations are made against respected figures in the community) and believe everyone. I understand (more than all but a few people in this world realize) the pain that she's going through and give her some deference for it. But we can't automatically assume every person is guilty of sexual abuse upon accusation.
YamahaGenos sorry but you’re an idiot. The percentage of false allegations is way smaller than people suffering in silence. So many people are afraid to come forward and just let it go. Are you serious? Your comment is insensitive and hurtful. Please don’t excuse the small percent of lies 🆚 the amount of covering up. In all religions. In all walks of life. In all statuses.
He should be in prison - not out in the community where he can take advantage of other innocent girls. Shameful.
finally a smart hasidic woman. this abuse won't stop until the women start speaking up and
start taking over on how to raise their sons properly.
I don't think she is Chasidic just Orthodox

Thank you for your courage and for speaking up!
My heart is with you!
you are so brave and I wish you loads of good luck and healing!
thank you for speaking in my name as well!
Brave to speak up,especially when most do not want to listen 😥
wow you are one brave woman!
This is so sad to have some one who is in charge of children to do this shocking
Beautiful talk from the soul. It pains me to hear and wish I personally could have been a support years back. I did not understand the depths of the trauma from neither you nor the others.
You can still help and support her and the others now, it is never too late

You are a lovely, brave lady. Stay strong and keep telling your truth 🌸🦋
You are so incredibly brave. I respect your courage in standing up there and giving such a powerful speech from the depths of your heart.
U r a strong lady thank u , I am sorry for these rabbis that called them selves rabbi.

A victim speaks out I believe you great video

Good for you for standing your ground, brave lady. Please, carry on fighting and tell your story.
This gives me so much pain. I am so sorry what you had to go through. She is screwing all her strength more than she could do. May Hashem guard her and be strength of her. May he quickly destroy her abusers evil minds around these oppressed souls.
Poor lady, and poor victims. 😓😔😰

Beloved lady you made me cry,but it's ok cause i believed every word you have spoken,God bless.
May G-d put a stop to these men’s evil acts once and for all. And may judgement fall on the perpetrators once. And. For. All.
She is a strong woman

People in organized crime usually don't commit crime against children, they have a reputation to protect.
It was so painful to watch. I feel for her terribly. I wish her soul be comforted justice to be brought to her life and to her students. May Sechina dwell in her house.

They know. Believe me, they know.
Yasher Koach! Thank you for sharing this. You are very strong....
Have only made it through four minutes and fifteen seconds of this shocking account of classic corruption on the part of individuals and institutions in Canadian society that abuse the power they’ve been given by the community.
God bless you for speaking up...may God continue to give you the courage to expose this evil behavior!!!
It is time to dismantle patriarchal societies. Bravery isn't enough, change is necessary.
Time to stop doing after the ways of mitzrayim which is what this is.
The non Jew knows nothing of the fact that our Patriarchy is not at all like yours.
This hit me so hard. I’ve been in a similar situation, and I agree the trauma that comes from been shunned is horrific
He needs a bris done right.. I will be very machmir but he might be left with the smaller peice
crazy situation
chazak v amatz...these scoundrels and hypocrites must be exposed, nd punsihed....its sickening and as prevelant amongst orthodox jews as among the roman catholic church....
I suspect that some of the "witnesses" probably did come to believe the victims, but had no idea what to do about it, and no frame of reference to put this into.
I don't understand why you do not spell out his name!?!?!?
You are so strong!! BH! Keep it up....these rabbis will get theirs! Hashem will take care of these evil people and erev ravs throughout generations
