Rabbis Molesting Children

The Headline of the article reads Orthodox Jewish Community Struggles With Abuse Allegations. The title is unwittingly accurate: they struggle with the allegations; they don't struggle against the rabbis who molest their children. The real proof that the allegations are true is not found in the words of the accusers, but in the reaction of the community rushing to defend their leaders without giving the accusations a fair hearing. They show that this community is uncritical of those in positions of power. Unfortunately, as anyone who follows developments in the Orthodox world knows, those who have risen to the highest positions of power are the most corrupted. As they say in Israel: shit floats to the top
