There are a number of dinosaurs who have been at YU forever who are responsible for allowing some of these students to be abused when information was known regarding the abusers. They are still at YU and some serve on the board of directors. All the excuses regarding Rabbi Finkelstein are absurd. He should never have been allowed to obtain employment at other schools or in Israel after YU. I have proof that students with disabilities are not treated fairly and teachers do not appreciate nor make the effort to understand the severity of their disabilities. YU is supposed to be a private school where Jewish students are treated with Jewish moral laws and compassion. This is not happening. In addition there is favoritism towards children of the big "machers" who can get by with anything. This is cruel. This favoritism holds true throughout YU. As one who has always shown loyalty to YU, raised over 1.5 million dollars for YU, as well as taught there for at least ten years since 1972 . THE JUDGES RULING WAS PREDICTABLE. IT IS SAD THAT RABBI DR. NORMAN LAMM WAS MADE THE FALL GUY, THE KAPPORAH HIN. SOME OF THE OTHER ADMINISTRATORS AND THE OTHERS ACCUSED SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY. <br />Rabbi Dr. Bernhard Rosenberg <br /><br />Read more: http://forward.com/articles/182348/judges-ruling-is-big-victory-to-yu-in-m-sex-ab/?p=all#ixzz2cRT3yMaZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497397929451139438.post-55375159397404132822013-07-02T04:32:35.904+03:002013-07-02T04:32:35.904+03:00After reading Dr. Norman Lamm's statement, I w...After reading Dr. Norman Lamm's statement, I want all the people who were allegedly sexually abused at YU to know that in late December I was posting on other sites that I supported their right to take the issue to court. I wrote that after reading up on sexual abuse cases and speaking to many who contacted him, I understood why neither the victims nor their parents spoke up .I encourage YU, its leadership to offer a sincere apology for what happened to these victims. I also encourage the RCA to make a similar statement regarding their members who either looked away or shook off complaints. RABBI DR.

IN THE JEWISH WEEK <br /><br /><br />I am tired of this crybaby stuff.Rabbi DR. BERNHARD Rosenberg is telling a truth people cannot handle.It is one thing to deal with a powerless child.It is another for middle aged men to hide behind a veil of anonymity and cry "victim".There parents were not children.They knew what was going on.How many even pulled their kids out of YU?You mean to tell me that they knew but let their children remain.Gordon and Finklestein should be held responsible.But where were the parents and why didn't they act?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497397929451139438.post-21516148356532855882012-12-30T22:38:51.613+02:002012-12-30T22:38:51.613+02:00

MEDICAL SCHOOL OF YESHIA UNIVERSITY SEEMS LIKE HE OWES Y.U. HIS CAREER. YESHIVA UNIVERSITY is the school where I spent most of of academic life. Do not lecture me on what I owe or do not. For your information, RIETS and .J.S.S. made be who I am. I will fight for the school that produced abbey that cared for me and nutured me. It is not my fault that parents who knew of these acts did nothing including showing up in mass to punish the individual who did malice to their child. Do not lecture me on sexual violence. Where were the parents who knew. ? Stop whining and trying to destroy Yeshiva University and have Rabbi Lamm resign. He did what was proper at the time. Prove that Rabbi GORDON molested anyone. The story about the toothbrush is ludicrous. I have had my own issues with the R..C.A. AND Y.U. , but I did not wake up 35 years later to realize I was molested. Go to ISRAEL AND CONFRONT these abusers , they are still alive. I call upon current students and alumni to speak up on behalf of their school. I FOR ONE HAVE HEARD ENOUGH UNPROVEN ALLEGATIONS THAT HAVE RUINED TWO LIVES. DO NOR RESPOUND SHAME ON YOU OR I DO NOT UNDERSTAND SEX ABUSE. I understand if this happened to my child and I knew of it I WOULD HAVE CALLED FRIENDS and made sure the culprit never did this to any child again.

You ask "Why did th...Dear Rabbi Dr Rosenberg,<br /><br />You ask "Why did the parents not turn to the police?"<br /><br />I think the answer is that there was probably a conflict between the parent's concern for their child's welfare and their loyalty to the "camp". <br /><br />Many parents are faced with that dilemma.<br /><br />The "camp" may be the school, the yeshiva, the shul, the community, the Jewish People, and most tragic of all, the "camp" may be one's own family. <br /><br />It is relatively easy to sit on the sidelines and say "my child would come first". But it can be extremely distressing and traumatic for parents to "betray" their camp, particularly when the facts are often confusing (was it friendly wrestling? or was it sexual assault?). <br /><br />I see parents struggle with this dilemma on an almost daily basis - and they often will decide not to "upset the apple cart" by reporting crimes, even against their own children, to the police. <br /><br />DavidDavid Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054370508508714804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497397929451139438.post-41874538171695907682012-12-25T09:17:47.431+02:002012-12-25T09:17:47.431+02:00Having been both a student and teacher at Yeshiva ... <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Having been both a student and teacher at Yeshiva University during these years, I pose one question: Why didn't the parents of these students call the police.

Had any of these students approached me when I was a young teacher of speech at Yeshiva College and told me of this I would have acted with vigor. Yeshiva University is a great institution. Let's not forget that many of today's Jewish leaders are products of YU. It is good that this horrendous part of the history of Yeshiva University has gone public so the individuals can find some degree of justice and peace. We are all awaiting Yeshiva University's response.
