"Throw Away The Rabbi"

Ha'aretz profiles Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg's fight against haredi child sexual abuse.

There are a couple mistakes in this piece. The billboards were done by The Jewish Board of Advocates for Children. And Rosenberg was (superficially) wounded on his forehead, not his arm.

From the Ha'aretz print edition Friday 8-6-10.

This rabbi i think is also involved in mikvas saying they are all no good.
I dont live in the same place as him but once recieved a letter of his naming ten gay places in town (which i am pleased to say i had never heard of)where he said chasidim attended.
i think people are having him on a lot. I am sure he means well and he does a lot of good. its about time someone did something, but on the other hand dont take what he says as 'torat emes'.

It really was R' nuchem's idea, and he's got an email from Asher Lipner attesting to it.
See the post on his blog.

Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg is a hero, who is putting himself on the line and his family.

The saddest part of the article and it is very telling of the orthodox community in general is, at the end I don't care what he does molests somewhere else o

The mikvas that he found problems with in general had a deuraita problem. You could lift them out of the ground in one piece (a keli) and they had plastic to prevent leakage. These are not chumrot but real problems according to Biblical law (not derababnan)

i was not meaning to criticize him.
my post just meant to say that he is being sometimes being made a fool of. by giving him information which is not true at all.

He took a subject which needs to be addressed in better ways then until now. And it is,but not because of him.For those who don't know him, he is a hero. But for those who do know him he is far from being a hero. The guy fantasies for years how is the world leader and all rabanoim are following his advice.Should i start how well he is liked among his own children? forget it

Idiot.
