Crown Heights: A 'Love' Story Complete With Coerced Abortions
The son of a powerful Crown Heights man is an alleged drug dealer who has impregnated two young Chabad women out of wedlock in past few months. How this situation has been handled by Chabad rabbis will shock you.
The son of a powerful Crown Heights man is an alleged drug dealer who has impregnated two young Chabad women out of wedlock in past few months. How this situation has been handled by Chabad rabbis will shock you.
This man's son is an adult, and has been described to me as Crown Height's Jewish community's major drug dealer.
The alleged drug dealer's father is a senior member of a Crown Heights service group I'll not (yet) name (Hatzolah, Shomrom, Shmira, etc.).
The alleged drug dealer impregnated a young Chabad woman in Crown Heights several months ago and another in North Miami Beach more recently. Both women come from ba'al teshuva families.
Chabad rabbis, including M.B. who is a very prominent Crown Heights rabbi, acting in conjunction with the the alleged drug dealer's father, allegedly heavily pressured the women and their families to abort the babies.
Both women, especially the North Miami beach women, resisted. But under extreme pressure from Rabbi M. B. and other major rabbis in Chabad, the women each eventually gave in and had an abortion – the one in North Miami Beach allegedly terminated her pregnancy Thursday.





One halacha for them, another halacha for us
For them to have the babies , they will be forever tainted with people expressing "whore" or "slut" in their hearts
On the other hand, have an abortion and keeping quiet about it, they still can have a 'white' wedding

Before the trolls roll, I don't doubt the reliability of the story as Shmarya applies a higher level of scrutiny and fact-checking to these FM scoops than the NYT typically does to its own stories.
My reaction is...perplexed.
Part of me wants to believe that Chabad, for all of its many defects, is just a religious cult trying to bring more into the fold and doing so often with the same contempt for secular law that we get from the Satmars, etc, with often naive, stupid, or reckless blundering.
But then there are the stories of Lubavs especially getting caught in nefarious dealings, far more serious than Section 8 cheating. This is not the first or second time we read about Chabad and drug connections, money laundering, international childnapping, etc. and this time a heavy Lub rabbi sticking his neck waaaay out to get a drug dealer out of a personal pickle.
So part of me seriously wonders whether Chabad really does have a criminal operations side.

I call upon all American Christians members of the Right Wing/Republican Party to come to Crown Heights and educate the Chabad-Lubavitch Christian Neo-Cons on know how Christianity/the Right Wing/Republican Party views the "murder" of a viable fetus. I call upon the U.S. Government to investigate possible racketeering/gangster-ism/ abuse/fraud and general disregard for U.S. Law and Custom among Crown Heights elected and non-elected Rabbis and leaders, as well as leaders and members of their "Emissary" movement known as "Shluchim."

I would hardly call it a "Love Story". It could just as easily have taken place in a black ghetto neighborhood. When so many Haredi finish their formal schooling with so little in the way of marketable skills, it should not come as a surprise that some of the young men turn to drug dealing. For a peak into the world of Haredi drug dealing, watch the movie "Holy Rollers" with Jesse Eisenberg.
Posted by: Rocky | October 28, 2012 at 03:50 PM
The story does not tell us which heksher is on these drugs. Some of us might not accept that particular rabbi's certification. I, for one, would not inject tref heroin. It must be from a rabbi I recognize as pure.

Where do I begin
To tell the story
Of how great my drugs can be?
The sweet addiction story
That is older than the sea.
That sings the truth about the drugs she brings to me.
Where do I start?
With the first shtup
She gave the fetus
To this empty world of mine.
Then I just had
Another love another time.
She came into my life
And made the living fine.
She got knocked up.
They are now knocked up
And now I want them to
Get rid of all those kids.
The rabbis will make
them to abort.
They'll threaten them with
excommunication.
They have no choice.
How long does pregnancy last
When rabbis make them to abort?
I'll send them both to go away
And I'll be free.
I made love twice in just one day.
I forgot to use a condom by the way.
I need my dad to make the problem go away.
Then I'll be free!

I thought Bogomilsky was better than that. I know one cannot compare, for it can never be tested, but I sense that the anguish of a coerced abortion is worse than the anguish of having an unplanned child. Make that tenfold if you are educated Orthodox. I would be surprized if the girl doesn't end up attempting suicide one day. If this doesn't passel Bogomilsky from dayanut I guess he's got tenure or something.

There is no way to trace this story. All evidence has been eliminated. The girls and their families silenced, the pregnancies terminated, the fix is in. Only the Kodosh Boruch Hu knows the details, writes down the facts, and ultimately executes judgement. Someday a bereaved woman will write a hesped for her unborn child.

Let me get this straight. The gezheh can get away with drug-dealing, marital infidelity and abortion, but for one who commits the despicable unspeakable "crime" of going to college, no family connections can save them? Talk about misplaced priorities.

just imagine what this MB must do , in addition of those two incidents he was busted . there must be MUCH more incidents he was not busted for . for sure .

Nope.
When you treat part of life as part of life, you don't have to try to hide this stuff, and oddly enough.........it doesn't happen as often in a community where sexuality, birth control and responsibility or taught and demonstrated.
Posted by: Rebitzman | October 28, 2012 at 07:20 PM
@ simple Jew, no gender barriers, physical or cultural, will stop a sexual predator. The Chabad-style separation of the sexes causes unrealistic expectations in relationships. Combine that with the rapid dating-marriage process, and the result is a lot of unhappy marriages. The lucky ones are those bold enough to trash their families' reputations with a divorce.

Chabad treat BT and converts just as bad as their Litvish brethren, Molesters usually go for the children of BT and converts because they know they are less likely to press charges so their status would not be questioned.
The girls who exposed Tropper the shtuper has her conversion status questioned and had people like UOJ calling her whore.
Posted by: Bassy the Haredi Slayer | October 28, 2012 at 08:24 PM
Most of the religious right are not opposed to abortions when it suits them. They just want to make sure women don't have easy access. The royalty will always get abortions done when it suits them. If need be they will fly them to another country.

Nine months are slowly getting close,
I am surrounded by the blanket of yours;
Slowly I am growing in your womb,
Please don’t send me to the tomb;
Oh mother, can’t you hear my voice?
Don’t you have another choice?
Aren’t you happy? You can see me soon,
I am excited to see the world of sun and moon;
In your womb, I am counting days,
To show you mother, my little gaze;
Oh mother, can’t you hear my voice?
Don’t you have another choice?
Mother, I am excited for my first toy,
I promise I will become your joy;
Please don’t feel me as a burden,
Whatever you decide cannot be undone;
Oh mother, can’t you hear my voice?
Don’t you have another choice?
I know you are waiting to see me play,
More than you I am excited to see that day;
Oh mother, won’t you start my life story,
Please don’t make my life a history;
Oh mother, can’t you hear my voice?
Don’t you have another choice?
I am excited to play in your lap,
With my deeds, I will make you clap;
Oh mother, give me a chance to live,
Even if you don’t, I will forgive;
Oh mother, my life is now a question,
Please don’t give it name of abortion.

Ah, the glorious "torah" of Schneerson again displays its true colors.
Schneerson encouraged the culture of "getting high" based on the low, primitive, mongol Eastern European culture that spawned him and his group.
To a Lubavitcher, there's no difference between losing your senses to alcohol or to narcotics. Schneerson saw to that. If Schneerson were truly a Jewish leader, he would have encouraged temperence to his deluded followers.
Rather, Schneerson encouraged orgies of "getting stoned" so that his followers would swallow the hours of bullshit that he spewed at his gatherings and would be more pliably molded to worship him.
Lubavitch is nothing but an Eastern European folk-cult with no resemblence whatsoever to what Moses received on Sinai.
Posted by: R. Wisler | October 28, 2012 at 09:27 PM
Sticking my "had" up a dead bear's (note the possessive apostrophe you illiterate Eastern European trash) will not change the fact that Schneerson is rotting in hell with all of the other subhuman garbage that tried to set themselves up as idols.

What is scarier is that there are so many commenters up till now, and NOT ONE said anything like this? Their parents went to a rov? The girls who are having sex out of marriage give a hoot about what a rov says?

Of course, your precious baby, if brought to term, could always end up in hell.
There are many people who truly wish they hadn't been born. Of course, don't let that interfere with your sentimental, adolescent world view.
Posted by: Jeff | October 29, 2012 at 05:37 AM
@NU, even if the sex technically weren't coerced it wasn't merely playing. Girl needed her fix, was short of cash, and the dealer was more than happy to accept "alternative" payment. Happens in the ghetto all the time.
Posted by: Baruch Shelo Asani Haredi | October 29, 2012 at 08:22 AM
Such a shame - you are disgusting.
It's a shame indeed, a shame you posted your delusional, mawkish, anti-choice, fantasy bullshit, on a post about forced abortions.
You're fucking sick in the head, and clearly have no shame about spewing your saccharine-coated lies wherever you feel like it.

Where does it say they "went to a rov"? It says they were pressured. These families live in communities. Being pressured by leaders of those communities is not the same thing as consulting a rabbi about what to do.

Well, now that the abortions have taken place, I suppose it will be easy for the Rav/Rabbonim to deny their involvement and to lay the blame fair and square on the shoulders of the women. Therefore, I suppose that those women will suffer more from the publicity than the man who impregnated or the Rov... (I hope they kept a DNA sample as proof)
Posted by: soso | October 29, 2012 at 09:50 AM
IF the Rov in this case is Moshe Bogomilsky it is no surprise to me. He is a total low life with ABSOLUTELY no morals. If anyone could be described as a menuval (betachlis) birshus haTorah it would be this asshole of a lowlife par excellence. Just look at the comments on the Chabad sites when he was running for Rov up there -- and that's just what they allowed through.

Did you actually defend abortion above in the thread by stating "some people wish they had never been born"? Really? How do you propose to certify the correlation? Clearly, some people wish to die, but this does not mitigate the crime of random murder. Or does it? However, you feel about abortion in general, you might want to scrub that comment before you ever decide to run for office.

I have to say I have read this post and the comments and am truly saddened. To see this much hatred.. This was the reason the beit Hamikdash was destroyed. Hatred for another jew.
Firstly, If you are going to name names, then you should give all the details out..
Secondly, everyone dies. It’s the natural process of life. What you have and who you are related to might have an effect in this world but when this life ends and it comes time to be judged before G-d, you’re not going to get a free pass because you’re great great grandfather’s uncle was a great rabbi somewhere. You’re not going to get a free pass because you were wealthy. You’re going to be judged on the good and the bad you did in your life. Whether you were kind, you followed the torah and mitzvot, if you loved G-d and tried to be the best jew you could be or if you were a liar, a selfish person that didn’t care who they f**cked over as long as it suited their needs, or just a not good person.
Judgement day is coming and no amount and money or yichus will save you..
