An Alleged Coverup Of Child Sex Abuse And Physical Abuse At Chabad's
Flagship Crown Heights Yeshiva
Oholei Torah in Crown Heights, founded and run at the direction of the late
Chabad-Lubavitch rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, and known as the
"Rebbe's school," does not teach its students legally mandated secular
subjects. It also allegedly covered up child sex abuse and the physical
abuse of students.
.There is a deep, sinking pit in my stomach when I think about the years of
academic study I missed that most people take for granted. I smile sadly
when I hear kids complaining about going to school; I would gladly go in
their place. While I certainly hope I can, one cannot easily overcome
missing out on 13 years of academic study [caused by] a corrupt system
[which failed to teach students secular studies].
The corruption at [Chabad's Oholei Torah [yeshiva in Crown Heights] has
provoked a frustrating, painful memory, which I had not planned on
mentioning. In third grade, my classmates and I watched our teacher brutally
beat one of the students for what seemed like at least a half an hour. To
this day, my friends and I remember that event vividly. It is something no
one can ever forget. This teacher was not held accountable, let alone
disciplined. More recently, I questioned the school's dean about this event
and why it wasn't dealt with; I had also inquired about some other
disturbing allegations from former students that Oholei Torah covered up and
refused to report sexual abuse that former students had brought to the
attention of the school seeking help.The response I got was glib: I was told
that these stories are not true (even though I witnessed one and heard the
accounts of sexual abuse from the victims themselves). A former social
worker, and hence a legally mandated reporter, employed by this institution
told me that he was told by the dean of the school that if he were to ever
report a crime to the authorities, he would immediately be fired.
My appeals to the community on the problems of the educational system had
all fallen on deaf ears. I had to seek an outside forum to open a dialogue.
People are discussing the problems now. I had spoken to the school
administration many times about these problems, as well as my objection to
the current curriculum being taught in the school. The only response that I
got and continue to get from the principal and other chief operating
officers within the school is: "This is the Rebbe's institution, and this is
how he wanted it and we won't ever try to change that. It's pure chutzpah to
try and challenge something the Rebbe believed in, and even worse to try and
bring shame to the Rebbe's institution by talking about these things
publicly.".
Keeping their own ignorant is a mug's game. Being a bunch of layabouts who
will not work means they have plenty of time to breed. Haredi Jews are
growth industry.
