Protest Against Satmar Rebbe Today

"The grand Rebbe of Satmar in Monroe (Rabbi Aron Teitelbaum) used the weekly Torah portion yesterday to call the victim in the Weberman rape trial a whore and a shame onto the community. While despicable in nature, it is also intended to drive a wedge in the community, and eliminate any little support she is getting. Decent people cannot allow this to go unchecked."

PROTESTING THE NAME SMEARING AND INTIMIDATION OF VICTIMS AND WITNESSES

The grand Rebbe of Satmar in Monroe (Rabbi Aron Teitelbaum) used the weekly Torah portion yesterday to call the victim in the Weberman rape trial a whore and a shame onto the community. While despicable in nature, it is also intended to drive a wedge in the community, and eliminate any little support she is getting. Decent people cannot allow this to go unchecked.

Tomorrow, Satmar is having their annual Chuf Alef Kislev event at the armory in Williamsburg. Please come out and lend support, as we peacefully stand outside and protest the tactics being employed by this community towards the victim and her family. This not only impacts this case, but sets a precedent for future cases, and will hopefully have the general effect of minimizing and trivializing molestation and rape.

We have secured permits with the 90th precinct, and have been assured 'sight and sound', meaning they will set up our area within eye and earshot of people entering the premises so we make a statement. I have assured the deputy inspector that we will be civil even in our rage, and we would like to show who the decent people here are. So please do not make our side look bad with inappropriate behavior. Signs may and should be made, but you cannot use sticks on the bottom and please refrain from making it too outrageous or offensive.

Should you have media contacts or friends who are photographers and wish to document it, there will be an area set up for them as well.

Please spread the word and see you there tomorrow.

Wish they would have a protest in Rockland County for those of us who can't be in Brooklyn. Perhaps in the future?

[TheRealJoe]

I hope the people arranging this protest, cleared it with Lawyer's, B/c this could help Weberman demand a mistrial.

[A Curious Jew]

This is going to be the moment of truth. We all will be able to actually count the number of FM folks out here.

I know there will be at least 5,000 Aronites in there. Wonder how many Shmaryanites there are.

Ladies and Gentlemen, are we 500? 1,000?

A curious Jew.

[Eli, what me messiah?]

One person at this protest is worth 5,000 "Aronites".

Great initiative! Hopefully the mass media will pick up on this.

[David]

This is beyond belief. I keep saying it, just when you think they can't do anything more bizarre, they manage to outdo themselves.

They should all go and drown themselves in the mikvah.

Disgraceful.

[David]

Have they committed an offense by saying things possibly prejudicial to the trial and/or possibly intimidating the victim/witness?

Why would a normal, mentally healthy person use such a name?

[AL]

Incredible how the so called 'orthoquack' are self destructing as well as they should.

They have done more to disuade Jews from true Yiddishkeit than one can imagine.

I was raised in the Lubavitch schools and today I wouldnt step foot into a Lubavitch joint to use the washroom. They quite frankly disgust me to the core.

Schnorrers, crooks, low lifes is best to describe them today. A far cry of when the Rebbe was still alive and kicking in the 60's. Yes 60's.

Once they got on that 'ufarazta BS train' that was their end.

They then attracted the worst low lifes imaginable.

I was raised in a Jewish home by my late parents Z"L, holocaust survivors who never lost their yiddishkeit after their horrific ordeal.

My Rebbes were yeshiva boys who survived the war by way of Japan.

They were real Jews. Today Lubavitch is the domain of criminals.

I am deeply saddened as to what has become of Lubavitch.

[GridLock]

Thanks for the heads up. Traffic is surely to be snarled at that location by the huge throngs of protesters that will surely show up.

Why would a Neolithic cretin with a head full of guano think he has the right to pick fault with anyone?

Maybe Steve Strong could put his sadism to use for a good cause? The real SSS could take you into the ring, and make your cerebellum herniate into your spinal column, thus increasing your IQ and personality by at least 500%.

Go back to your hegdesh, you schtick drek.

[No Light]

Curious and Gridlock - you have no worth, nothing of import to bring to the table.

The typical frumbag callousness you display toward others, especially those who've been raped, exploited, and swindled by your sick cult makes me wish gehenom was real.

The Teitelbaum dynasty isstained with the blood and tears of the men, women and children abandoned to the Nazis, so that Tatte Teitelbaum could save his precious possessions add his own worthless, despicable life.

Weberman's victim is worth 500 of any of you lowlife, perverse, contemptible filth merchants.

[moshe]

About 15 years ago in KJ rumors of child rape surfaced against one of his own followers. Satmar rebbe was behind the ouster to authorities of of that person. Satmar rebetzin herself even testified in court against him. They took a lot of heat for this - and that was before "going to authorities" was in vogue. Some even claim that that story was responsible for the Satmar split.

@No Light 6:10 AM:

Yashar koach!

[Moshe aron kestenbaum, Williamsburg]

A Delaware jury has awarded $41 million to a Navy officer who said he was sexually abused by a Catholic priest as a teenager. The officer originally filed suit against the priest, the diocese, the Bishop, and the high school.In another recent case the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles has recently agreed to settle its clergy abuse cases for at least $600 million. Though lawsuits are still going through negotiations nationwide over the widely-publicized and outrageous priest sex abuse scandals. Another case now ina suit filed by 144 abuse victims against the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego has finally been settled for $198.1 million. Initially, the church had offered a settlement of around $95 million, but the bankruptcy judge ruling on their case criticized the amount as distinctly lower than similar settlements made in such cases. The settlement amount is the second-largest settlement made related to the scandal, behind the Los Angeles Archdiocese's agreement earlier this year to pay $764 million. So now after the emotional hearings in which the victim detailed the horrors she endured ... " others I am sure will follow and that even more survivors will go public with their story. So it is a good chance that the victim will end up owning UTA next year and be in the rebbis seat

the grand rebbe's granddaughter should be raped . i'd like to see how the scoundrel will react .

I don't know why I don't bellieve that story. Unless the victim was one of the Teitelbaums.

Satmar hasidim are notorious for not reporting child molestation.

I once fought it out with a Belzer hasid. He claimed that you can NEVER believe a victim against a respected hasid. These people are so delusional.

[i4i]

@AL,

you are absolutely right about chabad .
chabad are criminals who will hurt you any chance they can get and multiple times.
they'll hurt you psychologically , abuse you mentally or rip you off .
chabad are the worse ppl on earth .
the worse of them all .

Posted by: TheRealJoe | December 03, 2012 at 11:16 PM

This protest is grounds for a mistrial but the huge fundraiser over the summer with posters portraying the victim as an incoming missile is NOT?

You Satmar use that word "mistrial" a lot. I don't think it means what you think it means.

[Alter Kocker]

Evil filthy little man. Further victimization of the victim? May Teitelbaum burn in hell!

[elwerthy barak]

THE GRAND REBBE IS AN EVEN GRANDER WHORE.HELL HIS HOME.

[shish]

Finally, real activism!

This is a fantastic initiative, and more such protests (and other forms of activism) should be taken in the future.

[Dominique]

Eli: One person at this protest is worth 5,000 "Aronites".

"ACTUNG! SATMAR ARONIM ZALONIM ALERT!"

Well eli ass! How about this "scenario" That the 5000 worthless people will JOIN 'peacefully' the "good OTD protesters" and PRESTO! The rest is history..! If they are smart they should require each entering person to join the protesters for 5 minutes in rotation!

SATMAR ALERT!

[jancsibacsi]

Theese bozos are trying to pull us all back into the age of anthropods since they themselfs are very closely related to theese primitive human like creatures.

[bas melech]

The righteous protesters should have hatzlocha rabbah. Maybe their courage will influence other victims to come forward, because they will know that they too will have support.

[Sarek]

Thanks for the update. Since I'm not a Torah scholar, it is enlightening to learn that 4,000 years ago, Hashem wrote in this week's Torah portion that this particular girl is a whore and a shandah. This is irrefutable proof that past, present, & future are the same to God.

/end satire if you couldn't tell

[Sarah]

This was in a New York City newspaper today...

When asked the repercussion of not sending her youngest daughter to Weberman, she answered in halting English, “They wouldn’t accept her. They wouldn’t allow her to go to school.”

United Talmudical Academy administrators even required the family to pay Weberman $12,800 in advance — before the teen started eighth grade, the mother testified.

“They wanted to make sure that I would send [her] to Weberman,” said the 53-year-old mother of seven, who covers her hair per Orthodox requirements and has worked as a Mary Kay cosmetician for 21 years.

The South Williamsburg school referred questions to its attorney, who did not return requests for comment.

Now entering its second week, the Weberman trial has provided a rare glimpse into the clandestine world of ultra-Orthodox Judaism in general, and the Brooklyn Satmar sect in particular.

One story the mother told illustrated the power the school held over her daughter, now 17. When Weberman announced he was taking the teen on a daylong drive, her mother protested, citing “Yichud,” the religious rules that prevent unmarried men and women from being alone together.

But again, the school stepped in and ordered the family to go along with Weberman, she testified.

“I had no other choice,” said the mom, who explained that the school even made her write Weberman to say she was sorry for disagreeing with him. “I had to write him an apology letter.”

The teen’s mother also described the harassment her family faced after her daughter reported the alleged abuse.

“They would scream at him ‘moser, moser!” a Yiddish term for a Jew who reports another Jew to secular authorities, the teen’s mother said. Her 5-year-old granddaughter was also barred from beginning school.

Much of the Satmar community still stands behind Weberman. Rebbe Aaron Teitelbaum, one of the Satmar sect’s two top leaders, spoke out against the teen at a fundraiser this weekend.

“If you keep up with what’s happening in [Williamsburg], it is frightening. A Jewish daughter has sunk so low, it is terrible.” he said, according to sources who attended the fundraiser.

Thanks Yochanan!

Now onto the site's newest shitweasel:

the grand rebbe's granddaughter should be raped . i'd like to see how the scoundrel will react .

Yeah, let's brutalise an innocent child for the sins of her father. Very Bronze Age of you.

i4i you are disgusting and amoral. Rape is heinous, it destroys lives, it is the ultimate act of personal violation. I would NEVER wish rape or sexual assault on anyone, not my worst enemy, because it taints your life.

An eye for an eye and the whole world is blind.

Sick revenge fantasies are not the answer. They make you no better than those you're criticising.

[flatearth]

Coming next, burning sinful rape victims alive on the stake.

[No Light]

Thanks Sarah. I think the current victim is only one of many. I hope the others have help and support. What a twisted, rotten derech Satmar is.

[Alter Kocker]

The only fair verdict in this convicts Weberman, then convicts Teitelbaum of being an accessory after the fact as well as the administration of the school. May all of them end their lives housed in the prison system while being slowly tortured by their cellmates. Maybe then they will realize that their actions were heinous and disastrous. Oh, and one further thing: May every last one of their children and grandchildren go OTD so that this damnable cult finally is erased from our sight and memory.

[No Light]

Thanks Sarah. I think the current victim is only one of many. I hope the others have help and support. What a twisted, rotten derech Satmar is.

Sarah-

Nobody should say that the victim makes up stories. Her mother provides proof that NW behaved inappropriately by taking her daughter driving alone.

While I agree wholeheartedly with your comment regarding the rape of an innocent child, I wouldn't necessarily shed a tear if Aron was raped.

[spacedout BT]

The whole Weberman maase is doing more damage to Torah Judaism than a million negative images from the internet. Maybe Susanna and the Elders should have been included in Tanach.

[dh]

So, what happened at the protest?

[Mike]

Nu? did anyone go - anyone?

RE: Thousands of haredim hold Israel anti-draft protest in New York

I have never seen haredim support for Israel even in a small number. They are not real Jews like Isralis are and shall keep their mouth shut on Israel internal business.
