How You Can Help Magen Protect Our Children



Magen's Child Protection Center has already made Beit Shemesh safer for all our children.

There is now a tremendous opportunity to name Magen's Child Protection Center after your beloved family member or other honoree.

When Magen started, in 2010, Beit Shemesh had the lowest child abuse reporting statistics for any city in Israel.

This indicated that most child abuse cases were not being reported, that victims lacked protection and treatment, and that perpetrators were freely operating in the community without consequence.

In just two years, Magen has received reports of over one hundred (100) alleged child abusers and over two hundred (200) victims.

Magen coordinates closely with the community leadership, the social services and the police.

In 2011, after Magen's first year, child abuse reports to the authorities in Beit Shemesh increased by a remarkable 43%.

B"H, Beit Shemesh is turning the corner on child abuse in our community.

There is now an opportunity for you to help Magen with this critical work, which is all privately funded.

Magen's office rental annual contract is up for renewal next month (March).

We are now seeking one or more sponsors for the Magen offices.

Magen Child Protection Center: $16,000
Individual Offices: $3000

As a gesture of appreciation for our sponsor/s, Magen is willing to name these offices after a person of the donor's choosing.
If you would like further details about this sponsorship opportunity, or if you are interested in donating money to or sponsoring any of Magen's many child protection programs, please call 02-9999.678; 050 8489001, or email (davidm@magenprotects.org).

Be"H, in the zchus of your generous support to Magen, may all of our community's children be safe.

Marrying a Soloveitchik

Image
Mazaltov! My nephew, Gedaliah Kestenbaum married Devori Soloveitchik in Jerusalem last week. Gedaliah has married into rabbinical aristocracy .    Devori is the daughter of  Rabbi Yitzchak Zev Soloveitchik, and the grand-daughter of Rabbi  Meshulam Dovid (Reb Dovid) Soloveitchik , who is Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Brisk (one of the two) in Jerusalem . The Soloveitchik's are a rabbinical dynasty descended from Rabbi  Yosef Dov (HaLevi) Soloveitchik (The "Beis Halevi") and his son Rabbi  Chaim Soloveitchik ("Reb Chaim Brisker"). Rav Chaim's sons Rabbi  Yitzchak Zev (Reb Velvel) Soloveitchik ("The GRIZ" The Brisker Rov) and Rabbi  Moshe Soloveitchik seem to have gone in different hashkafik directions. Whereas Reb Velvel's descendents are predominantly right wing hareidim, Rav Moshe's branch are leaders in the Modern Orthodox/National Religious hashkafa – most notably Rav Joseph Ber Soloveitchik ("The Rav") ...

Hoax Letter Sent to Synagogue

Image
            (Beis Tefillah Synagogue, Ramat Beit Shemesh) The following hoax letter has been sent to members of the Beis Tefillah Synagogue board of management, as if it was written by Rabbi CM [ed. name respectfully withheld] who serves as their rabbi: I think that as long as David Morris sets policy for L.A [ed. Lema'an Achai ], and is their public face,  I will not allow L.A. to use the Shul for fundraising purposes. This will change if: 1)David M apologizes publicly for stating,and insinuating again and again(in many forums,but especially in his childish Tzedek Tzedek blog) that , as a group ,  "Rabbis" (of RBSA ) are guilty of aiding and abetting and enabling child molesters.(And that of course that leaves LA to come to the rescue of our children.) OR IF  2)LA  publicly , clearly,and unambiguously disavows such statements .They must say--we clearly,and unambiguously ,disavow  statements or...
