In a way it's a shame that the film just came out. I'd love to have seen it in the DC Jewish Film Festival.

Catcher50 -- if you want it to come to DC, lobby the Jewish Film Festival to bring it there!

Allegation after allegation followed by criminal conviction after criminal conviction of able bodied "Orthodox" shomer shabos and mitzvot Jewish men who daven by day and rape, molest and sodomize helpless and defenses kinderlach by night.

The only thing worse (if that is possible) are my Jewish Rabbis who have held themselves up to the highest of moral standard for all to observe admire and respect who aid and abet these criminals by assisting in cover up their heinous crimes.

Was Louis Farrakhan far off the mark when he referred to my Jewish faith as a "gutter religion."

I am sure that Farrakhan didn’t call Jewish religion, a gutter religion, because he was concerned for all the molestation victims. He had another agenda.

Regardless, I love your take on the day to day occurrences in the Jewish community, and your description is hilarious. Keep up the good work.

Phil Jacobs is one of the few individuals here in Baltimore who is willing to speak out on this subject. He is already a persona non grata in the Agudah world. He's got some pretty big balls & he's going to need them. There's a denial that runs very deep in this community that Heinemann, et al would simply love to silence. If it were me I'd start packing a .45, Phil may need it the Heinimoonies can be dangerous if provoked.

Forgive my ignorance, but how can one see this documentary? Also, this documentary should be sent to every synogogue and day school/Yeshiva in the country. I have not seen it yet, but I am sure it is a must see.

You can go to Atlanta and see it in February, or you can lobby your JCC or other Jewish orgs to bring it to your town.

I'll talk to the DCJCC, but the film festival just ended.

I'll drop a couple of hints for 2011.

menachem, min. farrakhan never referred to judaism as a "gutter religion" - although that's what the media reported over and over and over again. what he said was in making reference to the bible verse, in the book of revelations, that talks about those who call themselves jews, but do lie, and are of the synagogue of satan. he referred to those type of jews as those who use their religion as a shield for their dirty works and a cover for their dirty religion.

[Yaakov]

Farrakhan said: "Now that nation called Israel never has had any peace in 40 years and she will never have any peace because there can be no peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under His holy and righteous name."
