Updated: Poster Asks Hasidim To Pray For Rabbi Nechemya Weberman On His Day Of Judgement

A Williamsburg poster asks hasidim to pray for Rabbi Nechemya Weberman, who is now on trial for allegedly sexually abusing a neighborhood hasidic girl over and over and over again, beginning when the girl was 12-years-old and ending when she was 15. Today is the third day of the trial.

Above right, Rabbi Nechemya Weberman

Update 8:11 am CST – Here is a complete translation of the poster made by the source who sent the poster to me. I edited it for clarity:

To the One Who Answers Those Who Call To Him On The Day Of Judgment!!! 

The court trial of one of our honorable members who prays in our synagogue, the great Rabbi Nechemya Weberman, God should lengthen his days and years, began today; it shocks us when we begin to think that a member that prays in our synagogue could soon be dumped into one of the worst prisons for many years, God forbid

Presents Prayer & War!

Members of our community have, thank God, very generously joined together over this past year with big money donations to offset the high cost of paying for a great team of lawyers, but now the time is upon us to cry out with prayers and [beseech] mercy that we should have success in fighting and beating the bitter decree [against Rabbi Nechemya Weberman]

If We Remain Silent At This Time!

We don't want ourselves to imagine that if our honorable friend will, God forbid, be sentenced to tens of years prison, will we be able to say our hands did not spill his blood??? Or will we be able to forgive ourselves and assuage our guilt???

Gentlemen Wake Yourselves Up!

A clear mandate is set on every one of us to cry out with prayers and beseech mercy, that he [Weberman] should be saved from this terrible sentence that faces him, God forbid

On behalf of our holy congregation, [an edict] was enacted that all members and each shachris minyan [morning prayer quorum] must say Tehillim (Psalms chapter 20) every day after completing the standard morning prayers; [this edict] is in force throughout the entire time of the court trial in the merit of our honorable friend [Rabbi Nechemya Weberman]

'Nechemya Tzvi ben Dinah'

And the power of mass prayers will not be unanswered

[Handwritten] Today a minyan [prayer quorum] to recite psalms [in Weberman’s merit will be held in the] downstairs [synagogue]

i hope he gets the book thrown at him...
many years in jail....where he can't hurt any more girls or women.
yes, harsh....but he not only abused a young girl...
he abused our religion.

[Warren]

doron, tefilah, umilchamah? They're going to try to bribe someone else? They're going to hire the A Team to break him out of jail?

[jackson jnr]

let us raise a " save him from captivity fund" urgently . let us call on us a gop candidate to help with a couple of million for legal fees and what nott. what's his name again ? romanie the mormon. maybe his vast wealth will help this helpless rabb weberman.if he held this young woman helpless let him learn what it FEELS LIKE.[helplesness]

Personally, I would rather make a $1,000,000 donation to the German Pope's personal גמ"ח rather than to offer a single red cent to help that pervert, Nechemya Weberman, evade punishment.

[Account Deleted]

They will love his tuchus in prison and maybe then he will understand what he has done.

Poster Asks Hasidim To Pray For Rabbi Nechemya Weberman On His Judgement Day

I am glad that they simply asked as opposed to require. This is America and with its freedom of speech (but not to "stare") one may legally request one to pray.

[Rebitzman]

Oh, I'm praying for him alright........

Justice, justice......

[Alter Kocker]

He looks nice and round. The boys in the showers are just going to love him!!! He will find out that penetration of an unwilling sex partner is both painful and humiliating, this time from the receiving end.

May all the rabbis that have lined up against the victim find similar fates.

[Baruch Shelo Asani Haredi]

Pray for him to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

[Yanky]

Shemarya
Just tell me of one normal person, who would allow his daughter to be with you, in a room, even for three minutes.
You live alone and have nobody. Your only outlet is your computer screen.
If you would get out of the house and try to socialize, you would realize how wierd you are.

"Yo Honkey! I ain't doin' nothin' you ain't want me to be doin', man. You jus yell 'Stop' an I'll pull right outchya hear. Now squeal fo me!! Squeal like a pig!! Wheeeeeeaaaaaaa!!!!!!

[NechemyaVonShchemya]

Nechemya Shchemya Shabsei Tzvi ben Dinah, what have you done to our Dinah bas Yaakov, Huh? You will find out from Dinah demalchusse Dinah soon soon. Hake.... yaaseh es achaysenu? Lock him up for good, and throw away the key, key nevolo osso beYisrael... vechen lo yeoseh, you Chamor nachbi ben fofsi bin tuches bin tal von Shchem-ya.

[Nachum]

Funny that his mother's name is Dinah. In this week's parsha, Dinah was sexually violated and her brothers wiped out a whole town over it. Now alleged "Jews" are actually protecting the violator of Jewish girls.

[Sarek]

I am not a Talmudic scholar. As such, I was never taught the appropriate prayer for a child molester. Someone please post it with English transliteration and translation.

Thank you.

[Account Deleted]

@ Nachum,

Thanks, that's a great observation and analogy by the way, kind of eerie too. "Alleged Jews" is a nice term, I usually go with "erev rav" to feel better about these people spreading this type of Shefa unto the nations from Yerushalaim and the diaspora.

[Account Deleted]

@ Yanky

Maybe you should ask your Rebbi for a referral to an Ohel program near you.

[R. Wisler]

May this all happen in the merit of that great tzaddik and rebbe Yoel Teitlebaum who in his cowerdice saved his own ugly ass and showed no ha-kores ha-tov to those who saved him. May his holy name be soon forgotten

[Yosef ben Matitya]

prayers? best is repettion of the following psukim from tehilim 109:

ז בְּהִשָּׁפְטוֹ, יֵצֵא רָשָׁע; וּתְפִלָּתוֹ, תִּהְיֶה לַחֲטָאָה.
ח יִהְיוּ-יָמָיו מְעַטִּים; פְּקֻדָּתוֹ, יִקַּח אַחֵר.

יא יְנַקֵּשׁ נוֹשֶׁה, לְכָל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ; וְיָבֹזּוּ זָרִים יְגִיעוֹ.
יב אַל-יְהִי-לוֹ, מֹשֵׁךְ חָסֶד; ....יג יְהִי-אַחֲרִיתוֹ לְהַכְרִית; .....יד יִזָּכֵר, עֲו‍ֹן אֲבֹתָיו--אֶל-יְאֲה; וְחַטַּאת אִמּוֹ, אַל-תִּמָּח.
טו יִהְיוּ נֶגֶד-יְאֲה תָּמִיד; וְיַכְרֵת מֵאֶרֶץ זִכְרָם.
וַיֶּאֱהַב קְלָלָה, וַתְּבוֹאֵהוּ; וְלֹא-חָפֵץ בִּבְרָכָה, וַתִּרְחַק מִמֶּנּוּ.
יח וַיִּלְבַּשׁ קְלָלָה, כְּמַדּוֹ: וַתָּבֹא כַמַּיִם בְּקִרְבּוֹ; וְכַשֶּׁמֶן, בְּעַצְמוֹתָיו.
יט תְּהִי-לוֹ, כְּבֶגֶד יַעְטֶה; וּלְמֵזַח, תָּמִיד יַחְגְּרֶהָ.

Yaakov Horowitz is one of the main organizers supporting the girl, so let's not turn this into a frum vs. nonfrum fight

[Hebrew Translator]

Not this is terribly relevent, but the correct translation of the title of the poster is: "To the One [i.e., God] Who answers those who call to Him on the Day of Judgment [!!!]". I believe it's a direct (however shamefully out-of-context) quote from "Le'Keil Oreich Din" in the High Holiday Shemoneh Esrei.

[Shmarya]

Horowitz is dishonest and untrustworthy. He helped block the Child Victims Act from passing into law and has repeatedly sold himself to Agudah.

He does these occasional nice things in order to have the leverage to do the much more important bad things.

Don't give him credit that he does not deserve.

[jancsibacsi]

Yosef ben Matitya-Youre a brain damaged retard with youre prayers , wipe youre behind with it it wont help you, what this monster did is worthy of death by hanging him on a high tree

[bas melech]

These chasidim (?) almost always pray for the wrong people and things. If one of these brainwashed individuals recognized the real victim, s/he'd have a real crisis in faith. By them rabbis and Torah learners can do no wrong by definition.

NR should get his just punishment. He picked on a defenseless girl, more than half his size. If justice prevails, a brute twice his size will do the same to him. Midah k'neged midah.

Posted by: jancsibacsi | November 29, 2012 at 11:06 AM You owe Yosef ben Matitya an apology. You have to tytch his prayer, and then post again.

[jancsibacsi]

Fleishike Kishke--Iam all 3 :)my apology is kish mir in tohes.

[Deremes]

Amazing how hypocritical people are.
Convicted cop killer Mumia abu-jamal for him rallies and prayers should be held becuase hes black.
Troy Davis,there was a a whole eulogy on FM stating he was executed becuase hes black and poor who couldn't afford good legal representation.But Weberman omg for him people should not give money for good lawyers,why?becuase hes a hasidic Jew with a beard so let him rot in prison.
So becuase they are black their blood is redder than Weberman's,amazing.
No prayers and money for any hasidic jew accused of a crime who is on trial.The fact someone is hasidic makes that person guilty.
It happens to be that Weberman is a bright guy therefore i cant figure out how he didn't accept a plea.Under normal circumstances he has no chance in front of a jury being that its an abuse case plus hes hasidic.And NO jury will find a hasidic Jew not guilty.

[jancsibacsi]

Deremes--OIBER CHUCHEM 2 WRONGS DONT MAKE A RIGHT

[jancsibacsi]

DeremesyOU ARE TRULY TRULY A SICK PERSON THE WAY YOU WRITE HERE IS OF A PERSON SO PARANOID WITH HIS HASSIDISHE BACKROUND THAT YOU DONT STOP AT ANYTHING,YOU HAVE NO SHAME BEREFT OF ANY SYMPATHY BESIDES YOURE OWN CLAN, DI BIST TAKE GANTZ MESHIGA.

He is not weird, just very fat.

[devorah]

"And NO jury will find a hasidic Jew not guilty"

Perhaps the members of the jury have all had negative experiences with your people? I've never met a Chasid who didn't try to cheat me in business and I'm no spring chicken. I've also never met a chasid who didn't have a peculiar odor emanating from his/her body. Neither soap nor water can wash away the odor or the negative feelings most people have toward your sect.

Hey guys, if I have a question about a Rabbi from williamsburg, can I ask and use full name or otherwise how? Also I'm not getting typepad notification e-mails even though i set the account to recieve them or updates on posts. Is that normal from the free version. Sorry for the many questions I never blogged outside of facebook before.

God should lengthen his days and years... IN THE SLAMMER!

[Egg]

Hi all,
Sorry, have tried to find this info elsewhere, but haven't been able to. Dumb question but I'm an outsider so bear with me: is today the final day of the trial with verdict? seems unbelievably swift if so, but i guess when the defendant is so obviously guilty there's not much deliberation needed! hope he gets what he deserves...if anyone has an answer, greatly appreciated. also, humble request: could we please switch our word choice from "victim" to "survivor?" as one myself, i'd much rather be known as the latter! thanks all.

[Eli, what me messiah?]

If you really believed that, you wouldn't choose to remain in a place where you could be tried by a jury of peer citizens or openly Hasidic, and the Satmar community wouldn't be throwing away money for a pointless defense.

I pray that God and the Court reward him as he deserves...

Is there a translation program that can handle this language? Google Translate can handle Hebrew and Yiddish, but not this. This is the only appearance of "achaysenu" on the entire Web known to Google Search.

Your paranoia and racism aside, there have been a number of cases wherein hassidim were found "not guilty."

What the author says is: Nechemya of Shechem (rhyming the defendant’s name with the biblically rotten city of Nablus). To show his disgust with Webberman, the author then appends the name of the false messiah and apostate Shabsei to the defendant’s middle name and mother’s name Tzvi son of Dina. He then refers back to the biblical story that took place in the city of Shechem (Nablus), asking, What have you done to OUR Dina daughter of Jacob (Israel)? You will find out from (is Yeshiva talk for) you will experience Dinah demalchusse Dinah the law of the land (in good ol’ U.S.A.) likely referring to his court sentence and also the jail rape (and possible shanking that likely awaits this defendant should he be convicted. Also punning Dina the name and Dinah judgment. Soon. Soon, has two possible poetic resonances (Justice Justice shall ye pursue, and going back to the false Messiah theme ut, ut (presently, presently) comes Messiah. You can read into “comes” Messiah as well). The author is then too polite to complete the phrase, but he quotes, Genesis 34:31, “HakeZona ya’aseh et akhotainu … “Should he deal with our sister as a harlot?” Lock him up for good and throw away the key, and then the author puns the English Key with the Hebrew word Ki/key (because) … key nevolo osso beYisrael for thou hath wrought coarsely in Israel (Genesis 34:7). Vechen lo yeoseh and thus shall ye not do, you Hamor (Donkey, but also the name of biblical Dina’s rapist.) The author then calls the defendant Nachbi ben Vovsi who was the spy from the tribe of Naftali bin Tuches (son of Ass) bin Tal (?) Von (a European reference) of Shechem.

[Abracadabra]

Fleishike Kishke -

Wow! That was a great job! I was just about to write an answer to John saying that "NechemyaVonShchemya" wrote numerous puns mixing Hebrew, Yiddish and English, mixing Biblical references and names with historical references and names, and the whole mixture was one big clever insult to Weberman. It would take too much time to explain all the puns and references.

But you did it! Great job!!

[Fleishike Kishke]

Abracadabra | November 29, 2012 at 05:43 PM Thanks. That was fun to unpack. He also used "bin" further insulting the defendant as an "Arab." Perhaps bin Tal is calling the defendant son of the Taliban. But I'm not sure about that one.

Deremetic - you're a thick as pigshit, sanctimonious, schmuck. You literally are not worth the steam off my piss.

You know what though, you're absolutely perfect in one respect. You're the ultimate example of the damage caused by religion. You're hateful and dismissive of anyone who isn't a black-hatted bearded bastard, you're ignorant, uneducated, and entirely unfit to contribute to society at large.

You're entirely amoral, defending outrages that would make a neoNazi gasp, and happy to ignore such "character flaws" as child rape, extortion, wife-beating, etc. as long as the person committing them is part of daily minyans.
In your demented mind saving someone's life on shabbes will have you screaming "GEVALT!! NEBECH!! SHABBESSSS!!" is a huge crime if the person being saved isn't in your cult, but raping children? Meh fine, just wait till motzi.

You make me wish there was a hell.
