Rabbi Mordechai Elon allegedly seduced male students and had sex with them. Takana, a Modern Orthodox/National Religious rabbinic committee set up to del with abuse allegations made a deal with Elon that banned him from teaching – a deal Elon quickly violated. Israeli police have recommended pursuing charges against Elon, and Ha'aretz published an exposé that detailed Elon's crimes. Here's a picture of Elon in the synagogue at the grave of the late rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch, Menachem Mendel Schneerson. He is allegedly drunk and passed out. Elon is holding the hand of a male, and another male has his arm around Elon's shoulders.
The picture was taken on or before January 31, 2011:
Posts about Rabbi Mordechai Elon.
Reminds me of my days back in Yeshiva...minus the molestation of boys.

What a POS

Big deal. I have nothing to say about whether he's a pedophile but I hope you don't have a problem with one passed out guy having his arm around another's shoulders. A little homophobic honestly.

Nothing gay about the photo. Nothing at all...

So, Mountain Dew parties at graves are in vogue?

Please, the guy's not drunk. Just because you see a plastic glass & bottle next to him?? That's probably seltzer water. And I've been to the Ohel a number of times- some people pray tachnun or vidui that way.

Justavi, do you routinely say tachnun or vidui with your arm around the guy next to you?

Looks like an emotional prayfest at the grave of the Rebbe. Find someone else to abuse, delegitimize or point fingers at.

Stupid headline of the year gold medal award.

A bunch of frumma get drunk and pass out at the table in Lubavitch Land. One of them has a history of being involved in criminal activity.
Seems like those two sentences can be used as the caption for a lot of photos taken in 770, as well as the Ohel.

Isn't it a form of Avodah Zora to have people living at the grave site and also davening there 24/7?
Does the Rebbe count in the minyan?

Hi David,
The whole Lubavith religion is the worst form of idol-worship. They may as well be Budhists. Their "philosophy" is the most simplistic and anti-intellectual form of idiocy -- and yet, in the best tradition of "doublethink", they call themselves "chochma-binah-daas".

Excuse the mis-spelling above -- Lubavitch...
