Exclusive: Rabbi Nechemya Weberman Allegedly Tries To Use Backdoor Contacts To Get The Rape Charges Against Him Dismissed
Weberman's family and supporters are trying to intimidate alleged victims and their families, and now Weberman himself is allegedly reaching out to Miami Beach to have some very special strings pulled.
A source familiar with the situation writes:
[Nechemya] Weberman has been in contact with his relative Rabbi Pinchas Weberman, a chaplain with the ATF [Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, a federal law enforcement agency] and other groups. [He’s a] leading rabbi in Miami [Beach trying] to use his connections to get [the] charges dropped.
Pichas Weberman is making an all out push to do so because he fears the family’s name is being ruined and his airline and boat catering business may suffer [as a result]. He is a very shrewd behind the scenes operator with many high level contacts.
Rabbi Pinchas Weberman, a chaplain with the ATF [Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, a federal law enforcement agency]
Just how many of these "chaplains" are there out there? Is this a new frumma scam?

One reason why "mesira" is practiced to the highest degree is that it keeps the police away. The scams run deeper and deeper in the frum communities.
What pisses me off even more, is when these ganefs are caught red-handed, they scream anti-semitism. Especially if the victim of the various scams happens to be non-jewish, they feel they have a right to thieve and plunder at will as retribution for historical wrongs.

If you know Amy Neustein, Susan Rosenbluth and or Michael Lesher, tell them to leave Neustein's daughter alone. Any action taken by them is being done with malice.

I suppose anyone accused of a serious crime would try to pull influential strings, if they could.
Posted by: jay | March 26, 2011 at 07:22 PM
Jay makes a good point-Molesting and abusing children is horrible, but I really can't blame the guy for trying to use his connections to get out of trouble. Although not at all the same, by any stretch, but if you got a ticket for speeding, and you actually were speeding, you very well might call your friend who works for the traffic judge. Now in this case if it were to work, and he truly molested a minor, and got away with it, then that would be a major flaw in the system, which is significantly more fundamental and beyond the issue of child abuse. But I really can't blame him for trying.

The Weberman's provide some of the food for Kosherica's cruises. That doesn't make Kosherica cruises a reliable kosher cruise, regardless of all of the religious entertainers whom are there for the buck.

Kosherica cruises is a kosher sham as they are self certified.

I know Rabbi Pinchas Weberman, shlita, and his immediate family well. They are a very, very fine family and Rabbi Weberman is an extremely well respected Rabbi and community leader in Miami Beach - respected across all religious denominations and outside the Jewish community for the very, very fine things that he does. One would be hard pressed to find ANYONE who has ever met Rabbi Weberman or his children who would say a bad word about them. Spend your time chasing real demons. Rabbi Weberman isnt and wouldnt get involved in the Nechemya Weberman saga.

I love it how this guy above me is changing his take on the situation because of his stupid perception and opinions.

Rabbi Weberman from Miami is good people . This is a fact . He truly lives for other people, he regularly goes above and beyond for people he has never met before. Don't get me wrong , I think his brother is a sick perv that should be castrated if in fact the charges are true(I'm not saying they aren't) , but lay off the guy for trying to help his brother out . Unless you are that situation , you don't know what you would do.
Posted by: Steve R | March 26, 2011 at 10:21 PM
Rabbi Moshe Dovid Niederman of UJO of Williamsburg is also in Nechemya Weberman's web. Rabbi Niederman is a true Tzaddik and should cut off all contacts with the Weberman low life until the charges are proven false. If indeed, Nechemya Webereman is proven to be a molestor and rapist, then he should ne neutered like the dirty dog he is.

Steve R, Nechemya Weberman is not Pinchas Weberman's brother.
Posted by: Meyer Muschel | March 26, 2011 at 11:16 PM
i just cant fathon how someone like this guy nechemya weberman has the nerves to even open his mouth, i have no doubdt that he molested her, and to ask others to help him get out of this pit that he dug himself into its pure evil,it looks to me that all this is a joke for nechemya he doesnt get it, any person who can act this way in my oppinion is not a human being he is a predator beast.

I lived across the street from Pinchas Weberman for many years and I know the family better than most.
If he is not Nechemia Webermans real brother, he may as well be.

disgusting pervert who was removed from his position at landow many years ago. he gets WAY too close to little girls, even at his age and it is disgusting.
on Tropper's (giyoret prostitution ring) payroll.
Shmarya I beg from you mechila. You have been right about so many things for so many years. I did not understand and was wrong. Please forgive me. Now I am beginning to understand what you have all along.

Pinchas Weberman was never on the payroll of Landow, Was never on sleaze bag Tropper's payroll. "Neighbor" - you're a coward. Never had frum neighbors. Reveal your name - so we can identify your true motives...I am not afraid to state mine???!!

wasn't able to post am I blocked?
Posted by: Neighbor | March 28, 2011 at 05:53 PM
The Webermans had plenty of Shomer Shabbos neighbors for many years. The Rabbi just never considered anyone frum enough to even say Good Shabbos to.
Rabbi Benzaquen lived across the street and hosted Chief Sephardic Rabbi Bakshi Doron at his house on several occasions.
Rabbi Amsalem lived right around the corner for many years. Rabbi Cohen lived across the street. Rabbi Benchimol also lives on South Shore Dr. as does Rabbi Pearlson.
On North Shore, South Shore and Fairway are/were 2 Saka families, 2 Bichachis, Evan, Hamouis, Matalon, Babani and those are just some of the families I can think of who live within 2 blocks of the Webermans and who walk to shul and have their children in Orthodox day schools.
A few blocks away lived Nakash, Selonikkio, Peretz, 4 Behar families, the Gontes, Eshkenasi, Dalfin, 2 Mayas families, Salver,Aronofsky are all Shomer Shabbos, their wives cover their hair and their children attend orthodox day schools.

Rabbi Weberman taught at Landow, I do not know what his pay arrangement was. He was paid to be Miami Beach police chaplain for many years, as well as to supervise the mikvas, the eruv, and as head of ORC. The Webermans waterfront house is owned by Ohev Zedek as a parsonage.
Rabbi Weberman's Beis Din was on Eternal Jewish Families list of supporting Batei Din until Leib Tropper found out that Rabbi Webermans son was married to a Cuban girl and that Rabbi Weberman converted her and her entire family.
Since EJF tried to present itself as a haredi organization of the highest and strictest standards, Rabbi Weberman was encouraged by Tropper to resign.

Neighbor, Not only do I know who you are, I also know what motivates your vengeful, attempt at reprisal against a man who is dearly loved for his selfless, tireless, dedication to his community and Yidden everywhere. He would never compromise his moral values nor exercise any influence he may or may not have, toward injustice. Unlike yourself, who has a slime-slick of loshon harah, lies, vitriol, and controversy in tow. HaRav HaGaon P.A. Weberman won't waste even a minute of his time in defense of slander cast by worthless individuals of your ilk.
Posted by: elekmiahc | March 30, 2011 at 09:22 PM
A man who is "dearly loved" as you say, does not have an empty shul even during the week.
The neighborhood is a lovely place to live and the houses are reasonably priced for what they are. I have lived there for many years and love it. We are convenient to mid Beach, North Miami Beach, downtown Miami, Surfside/Bal Harbour, etc.
Posted by: Neighbor | March 31, 2011 at 08:22 AM
It is hysterical how you all love to comment negatively starting with Shmarya,
Joe DeAngelo who doesnt deny it, took pictures first and stood way too closely and yes, I was there, he was there to intimidate, until he forced the woman to take out her camera and take pictures. Just as you are allowed to post, so are they.Give them credt. Wait I did some private searching I see it wont take too long until the truth comes out how a dysfunctional family, decided to trap an innocent Victim, but you all love it??? Dont you?? He is a pervert??? He is a monster.
I have seen more Youtubes on Nuchem Rosenberg as a monster, and lately Ive seen a clip on the web of NucRosenber hem as doing something very close to molesting, Also we have seen a report in UKRAINE POLITZIA of him as well doesnt describe him too well behaved. But since he talks dirty you love him dont you???,
Where are all the victims the ones that were going to come forward against Weberman????
How come charges are now less than when arraigned????
What bad fortune telling... Wait until the tables are turned....... and the truth comes out. Guess youll close your site for a few days.
Believe me I started out as a supporter and ended up real tzimished until I saw the truth. Especially when I went as an observer to court. Have you seen the sleeping YU students? biting nails, reading non stop, up and down the aisles.
and all you mentioned Mark Appel, etc... came for the last few minutes. All of support I saw was two girls that looked close to the victim a stern and nervouslooking mom, her fat friend? dont know who she is, though someone mentioned Lemon Juice?? Dont know why. and some funny looking chasids staring into space, plus Nuchem Rosenberg and another nervous older guy going back and forth, back and forth, his eyes only on the two girls that came as support with the mother (not from Wmsbg community) Neither am I, but they stuck so close to the mom, I couldnt get a word across to find out who they are or who this Lemon Juice is?

Rabbi Weberman's son is not married to a Cuban girl, he is married to a Sephardic Jewish girl who was born in Cuba. Stop making things up.
Posted by: another neighbor | June 08, 2011 at 12:47 PM
I beleive this article was about Nuchem Weberman not his Uncle in Miami Beach:
However since many postings about the Miami Beach Weberman have surfaced lets get some facts straight:
1. I was on a Kosherica cruise 6 years ago. Swordfish was on the menu. The caterers said Rabbi Weberman and another Miami Beach Rabbi Bixon approved swordfish as kosher fish...but who knows if Rabbi weberman actually did give the ok.
2. Rabbi Webermans shul is empty all year with no minyan other than a few straglers and his grandchildren.
3. Esther Maria Vinas Weberman (his daughter inlaw) and her family were not M"Guyer by Rabbi Weberman, They were M'Guyer by the deceased Miami Beach Artists "Raphaeli" after professing to be Morranos from the 1500's.
4. Rabbi Weberman does devote his life to the tzibbur as he supervises the Mikveh and Eruv in Miami Beach.
5.Rabbi Weberman will help his freinds and colleagues and will go beyond the bounds of duty to help them help themselves.
6. He has many children and many many grand children so if a few are not Shomer Shabbos or balei avodah zorah the percentage is within acceptable...no?

Pinchas Weberman Will no doubt help Nechemya Weberman as much as he possibly can after all he is family.
Weberman is a very shrewd mystery man.
His family and household is a train wreck.
He harps on hurting people and instigating havoc just because he can when he can.
When it eventually comes back to bite him in the ass by prominent Rabbis who know his sickness he pathetically crawls under a rock making believe he has nothing to do with his depraved sadistic actions.
He has no remorse for his sick twisted behavior and is a Menuval B'Rishus Hatorah, using his Torah knowledge for evil ,self importance and malicious, cruel spiteful nature, helping his few buddies or as he calls them "Colleagues" and dysfunctional family members that give him some kovod.
This gun totting self-important thug will wield whatever he has in his power to exact vengeance on his detractors. May Hashem Protect Klal Yisroel From This Angry Old Monster.

Just so everybody knows the level of nasty tactics the weberman camp is trying with presuring every rabbi around the globe to stand up for him after all the people who are coming forward that he violated at a younger age he is a PIG and they should lock him up for life for all the neshomes that he ruined

Orthodox or not, do you wonder "why" there is antisemitism? The facts need to come out, but for you to naively believe that even a religious person is beyond human "sins", then you are are just as culpable as the alleged molester. My father was a physician in n orthodox neighborhood in NJ. He was a king, loving, and caring individual who upheld the Hippocratic oath. I was aware of certain instances where "certain" Jews would not allow a gentile to examine them. Do I need to expand any further?Religion does not allow for hate- no matter what religion that is.
I would suggest that you re-think your ultra religiosity.
