Lipa Margulies- This Letter Is Going To Be Mailed To The Entire Frum Community In Ten Days!

I added a new thread to this post at the end of the letter being sent out about the Margulies/Kolko affair; on the lifetime effect molestation has on children!


The following were sent an advance copy of the Kolko/Margulies mailing going out to our community this week.

Yated Ne’eman
Jewish Press
Jewish Observer
Torah Umesorah
Ohel

Will they react? Will they move to purge our community of this rodeph? Or, will they wait for the secular media and the government to act before they do anything?



WARNING !!!!!! ATTENTION ALL PARENTS

There is a chronic child molester in our midst. No, he is not
in hiding nor is he being kept away from our children.
Shockingly, he is a Rebbe in Yeshiva Torah Temima.
Rabbi Lipa Margolies knows of this Rebbe’s history of
sexually molesting children.
Rabbi Lipa Margolies refuses to remove this predator from his yeshiva.
Specifically, Rabbi Lipa Margolies has been repeatedly informed, from sources
independent of each other, that Rabbi Yidi Kolko has sexually molested
countless children during his long career around children.

Rabbi Yidi Kolko sexually molested children in Camp Agudah. Rabbi Yidi Kolko sexually molested children in Yeshiva Karlin Stolin. Rabbi Yidi Kolko sexually molested children in Camp MaNaVu. Rabbi Yidi Kolko spends his life around our children. It bears repeating that Rabbi Yidi Kolko is a Rebbe in Yeshiva Torah Temima.

We have a problem. This is not to say that our wonderful community has a
greater percentage of child molesters than other communities. We may even
have substantially less. Our problem is in our unwillingness to deal with this
horrendous problem. Child molesters must be removed from our midst. Our
children must not be subjected to them. Rabbi Lipa Margolies must stop his
unconscionable covering up of this problem and Rabbi Yidi Kolko must resign his position immediately.

We will not rest until our children are safe from this
scourge.The next move is going to be the mass media. You think your a Knocker?, not to the newspapers and the TV media.

We are writing to ask that you speak out and help bring an end to this problem.
Child molesters must be kept away from our children.
Our children deserve no less.

Concerned people please express your outrage, call Lipa Margulies at 718-438-1900 and Yudi Kolko at 718-252-6642

Lipa Margulies- You have ten days to remove Kolko from the school, or this letter goes out to the entire Frum Community! You Are Warned!!!


A study by Professor Rachel Lev-Wiesel

All the horrible abuses inflicted on the Jews in the Holocaust, did not do as much permanent damage as them being sexually molested.There can be no t'shuva for this great crime against children. The victims are tormented for the rest of their lives.

UOJ


According to new study, sexual abuse traumas have greater effect on survivors than any other experienced during Holocaust years. 'Abuse still causes incessant thoughts, nightmares,' researcher says.

A new study conducted at the Haifa University reveals that Holocaust survivors who suffered sexual abuse during World War II were much more traumatized by molestation than by any other of the horrifying experiences they went through during that period.

The study, the first ever to focus on the subject, is set to be presented next Sunday in the framework of a conference to mark the international Holocaust Memorial Day at the university.

Prof. Rachel Lev-Wiesel, who conducted the research, said that although the survivors experienced other traumatic events during the holocaust, including the loss of parents, physical abuse and hunger, the memory of sexual abuse remained etched in their minds more than anything else.
"This abuse still causes incessant thoughts on the subject and nightmares," Lev-Wiesel said.

'Survivors told stories with clarity, precision'

The study consists of interviews with 22 men and women in Israel and the United States, who were willing to share with the researcher stories about the abuse they underwent during the war.

Lev-Wiesel said that some people who offered to take part in the study were rejected, because she believed they would not be able to cope with the burden of memories and the self-exposure involved with the interview.

The average age of the interviewees stood at 68 years, and Lev-Wiesel said all have told their story with clarity and precision, in contradiction to how people usually speak of a traumatic event.

This is proof, Lev-Wiesel said, that the survivors retell the story in their heads over and over again, reliving the past daily.

All the survivors interviewed for the study have spent the war years on the run from the Nazis, some at hiding in the houses of Christians, others moving from place to place with the partisans, an easy prey for menacing adults along the way.

According to Prof. Lev-Wiesel, this fact does not eliminate the possibility similar incidents took place at ghettos as well.

Abuser usually close to victim

In some of the cases revealed in the study, the abuse was carried out by relatives or other Jews, which alleviated the trauma and embarrassment among survivors.

In one of the cases the abuser was a man who helped smuggle children from one place to another, in another it was a father who sexually abused his daughter, and in several other incidents – mothers who molested their sons.

Prof. Lev-Wiesel stressed that situations of stress and war do not create pedophiles, but that they enable such people to operate more freely.

Was in flatbush recently and saw Kolko in wienfelds (east 22 and l).

Made me feel very wierd to see this man with white beard who could pass for a rosh yeshiva sitting there davening maariv with such kavanah.

Then someone told me that one summer Kolko who goes to a bungalow colony (i think Irvington), was attending a simcha there and another guy from out of town was there as well, and the guy went over to kolko and punched him in the face, and proceeded to pummel him.

This doesnt happen to people who did nothing wrong.

This is not a vague accusation by a few victims. Kolko molested a vast number of kids many of whom are now coming forward for the first time in response to the publicity.

Paul Mendlowitz said...

Jerry,

The internet affords us the ability to deal with gangsters in the Jewish community in a way that has never been available to us.

I for example have been a board member of many different Jewish organizations for many years, so I have seen the way they handle problems. THEY DON'T.

The rabbis are getting away with murder. They permit Kolko and his ilk to stay around kids under the guise that he won't do it anymore.

Molesters are a danger for life since they can not control themselves.

The schools are stealing money unabashedly from it's coffers to enrich the owners, nothing happens. They don't permit audits.

So I know what I'm talking about. Members of my family and close friends are sick and tired of getting nowhere.
I've submitted many articles without naming names to the Jewish media; nobody wants to get involved.

So I blog; change is slow.. but noone should doubt my resolve or perseverance. I will go after the bad guys one by one...I won't get them all, but don't bet against me.

I too was molested by Rabbi Yidi Kolko, both while a student in 7th and 8th grades in Yeshiva Torah V'daas and during those same summers whilst a camper in Camp Agudah.

I used to get rides to school in the mornings with Yidi whether in his old blue car or in his brand new brown car. At that time he lived on 56th Street between 14th & 15th Avenue, whilst I lived on 57th Street, between 15th and 16th Avenues. He was newly married at that time and his first child, a daughter, was also just born then.

Once we got to the Yeshiva on Ocean Parkway, which then was just off of Caton Road, he would park the car (either down the block from the Yeshiva, on the Ocean Parkway service road, or around the corner, I think it was East 5th Street, and ask me to come over and either sit beside him or sit on his lap. Sometimes he would move over to the passenger seat and would then sit me on his lap.

That's when he went fishing. He would insert his hands down the front of my pants and would begin to "search around" to say the least. At the same time he would pull me closer to himself, or would push himself forward againt myself, sometimes even pushing me into the stearing wheel, to the point that it hurt.

Unfortunately I didn't react or complain. The winters were cold and these rides saved on not having to walk all the way to 13th Avenue to wait for the bus (especially on Sunday mornings), you were able to leave your house later since you could always make the ride, and you saved a couple of cents, which was a lot in those days.

During one of those Sunday mornings whilst we were driving on Caton Avenue, whilst I was sitting in the front passenger seat - I almost always sat in the front passenger seat - we were involved in a terrible traffic accident where a car went through a red light and slammed into Yidi's car. B"H we all got out without a scratch.

In Camp Aguda it was the same, whether if he took me into the trees, or into his cabin, or even would take me out for a drive. FYI, during the summer of 1970 I had my bar mitzva in the camp.

I of course told my parents and tried on several times
to explain to them what I was going through, but they didn't want to believe me and my "stories", etc. My father at that time was a very well known and respected person in the Boro Park & Midwood communities and within the Yeshiva world. So I just shut up and let the molestation and perversion continue.

I also think that Yidi Kolko is a danger to the students, past and present in Yeshiva Tora Temimah and I feel that it is about time that the wall of silence be torn down.

Did I suffer as a result, probably. But I have made a life for myself and today am very happily married with 4 wonderful children.

Skepticism is the sign of an intelligent mind, there's no bigger skeptic that I know of greater than myself, so I do understand.

Here's the way it went down, believe it or don't, I don't really care that much. My battle is with the bad guys not the readers of this blog.

I ranted about Margulies months ago and said he was harboring a molester as one of his sins.
My good buddy Gross e-mailed me and we discussed by e-mail a bunch of things including do we "name" molesters.

We were saying something like, nah, we wouldn't want to do that, that may affect his kids. We agreed that was the way to go, I respect Gross's intelligence.

Before I know it I'm swamped with posts and e-mails telling me of their woes with Kolko.
I started speaking to some of them; I'm now convinced that they're telling me the truth.

I posted one guy's e-mail as a headliner, i get over 300 e-mails about this.So now I'm getting all kinds of these type of e-mails begging me to go public against so & so.
I decided not to and referred them for help elsewhere.

So what I'm saying is that I don't want to do these topics; there are other guys out there that's all they do. I say gezunteheit.

The Kolko thing is a sign of illness in our community, and I loathe that part of our community.

The Tendler issue took me months to be convinced that he was unworthy of being a rabbi, that's when I went public.

In summary, my gripe is against the "illness" that has become so prevalent; I don't know Kolko, but I can assure you if he harmed a loved one; he'd have to be wheeled to shul in a wheelchair.

The people that are willing to sully OUR YIDDISHKEIT for their personal gain is my enemy; those people I intend to do all I can to put them out of business.

One momzer at a time!

Black Hat,

Maybe maybe maybe. Maybe you are really UOJ; maybe you are really Kolko attempting to cover your ass. Maybe you are just automatic spam.

Not everything is a piece of Gemorah. Sometimes you just have to sit back, evaluate the discussion and take things at face value. It's hard to make this stuff up. How long do you think UOJ can get away with this if this were indeed untrue? This topic has been around on this blog for months. If it were indeed fabricated, do you think the people at TT would just ignore it? Google Margulies and look at the result. This can't be ignored. Kolko is caught (quite literally) with his pants down. Never in a million years did he imagine he would be uncovered with such a channel of communication. That’s the beauty of the internet and the main reason IMO that the “Rabbonim” seek to ban it – this is a watchdog - monitoring their every move. News and information has never traveled faster and more efficiently, without fear of bullying, or retribution.

Statistically, sex abuse is quite unique in that the perpetrator is very likely to get away with the crime. MOST victims (or, in our community, parents of victims) do not report it, for various (mostly obvious) reasons.

You might well-intentioned but you’re certainly naïve when it comes to this issue.

I attended a well-known summer camp for six summers (OK, it was Camp Agudah.) Anyway, one summer a popular counselor of one of the “older bunks” (therefore even “cooler” – all you former campers know what I mean) befriended me. For no rhyme or reason, he often left his bunk during lunch and sat next to me like we were best friends. With his arm around me, he would engage in conversation like we knew each other. I found it a bit strange but I figured he was a nice guy. I was kind of on the shy side, so I didn’t mind the attention. I did find it odd when he appeared devastated that I wasn’t staying the second half of the summer. With me, was nothing more than what I mentioned.

Flash forward, years later and we’re a bunch of guys swapping pathetic camp stories. A close friend of mine starts talking about his counselor when he was in the older bunks (you guessed it, Mr. Friendly) he recalls a story where they were all sitting around in their bunk house after dark and Mr. Friendly shoves his hand down another kids pajamas (I know this other guy too.) I was shocked at the story but not surprised – everything made sense now. I think (I’m not certain but I will verify it very soon) that my friend who witnessed the incident tried to tell R’ Kaufman (the head counselor) about it, but it almost landed him in trouble – Kaufman wouldn’t listen. No wonder things are kept quiet…

Now that I look back at that summer in camp, I realize that although Mr. Friendly was super popular and didn’t look at all like the stereotypical pedophile – he was indeed a real sicko. It’s scary to think what he got away with, because got to be lots of victims - guys like these don’t stop.

Child Sexual Abuse ~ Disclosures

Among victims of sexual abuse, the inability to trust is pronounced, which also contributes to secrecy and non-disclosure.
Source: Courtois & Watts, 1982.

Children often fail to report because of the fear that disclosure will bring consequences even worse than being victimized again. The victim may fear consequences from the family, feel guilty for consequences to the perpetrator, and may fear subsequent retaliatory actions from the perpetrator.
Sources: Berlinger & Barbieri, 1984; Groth, 1979; Swanson & Biaggio, 1985.

Victims may be embarrassed or reluctant to answer questions about the sexual activity.
Source: Berlinger & Barbieri, 1984.

Victims may also have a feeling that "something is wrong with me," and that the abuse is their fault.
Sources: Johnson, 1987; Tsai & Wagner, l978.

In addition to "sexual guilt," there are several other types of guilt associated with the abuse, which include feeling different from peers, harboring vengeful and angry feelings toward both parents, feeling responsible for the abuse, feeling guilty about reporting the abuse, and bringing disloyalty and disruption to the family . Any of these feelings of guilt could outweigh the decision of the victim to report, the result of which is the secret may remain intact and undisclosed.
Source: Courtois & Watts, 1982; Tsai & Wagner, l978.

A child's initial denial of sexual abuse should not be the sole basis of reassurance that abuse did not occur. Virtually all investigative protocols are designed to respond to only those children who have disclosed. Policies and procedures that are geared only to those children who have disclosed fail to recognize the needs of the majority of victims.
Source: Sorensen & Snow, 1991.

Study of 630 cases of alleged sexual abuse of children from 1985 through 1989: Using a subset of 116 confirmed cases, findings indicated that 79 percent of the children of the study initially denied abuse or were tentative in disclosing. Of those who did disclose, approximately three-quarters disclosed accidentally. Additionally, of those who did disclose, 22 percent eventually recanted their statements.
Source: Sorensen & Snow, 1991.

Young victims may not recognize their victimization as sexual abuse.
Source: Gilbert, l988.

There is the clinical assumption that children who feel compelled to keep sexual abuse a secret suffer greater psychic distress than victims who disclose the secret and receive assistance and support.
Source: Finkelhor & Browne, 1986.

Early identification of sexual abuse victims appears to be crucial to the reduction of suffering of abused youth and to the establishment of support systems for assistance in pursuing appropriate psychological development and healthier adult functioning . As long as disclosure continues to be a problem for young victims, then fear, suffering, and psychological distress will, like the secret, remain with the victim.
Sources: Bagley, 1992; Bagley, 1991; Finkelhor et al. 1990; Whitlock & Gillman, 1989.

UOJ;

My prediction is that margie/kolko will do nothing and call your bluff.

The only hope of getting results is that in 8 days from now you go to Mach-1 speed; do the mass mailings, go to the newspapers, and get as much publicity focused on these two MO-FO bastards as possible.

You have two things now going in your favor:

1. Bloomberg's announcement yesterday of his sweeping overhaul of Administration of Child Services Bureau
to better flag and halt child abuse in the aftermath of the Nixzmary Brown scandal, and

2. Gov. Pataki's very public announcement at the beginning of this week, announcing the introduction of new legislative bills to severely increase penalties for those convicted of child sex abuse. Get this: First time convicted offenders will face 25 years in jail!!! Repeat offenders will receive lifetime sentences without parole! This legislation is backed by Joe Bruno and Silver and has an excellent chance of passage. The politicians have put their finger up and see which way public sentiment is blowing on this issue. It's a good vote getter for them.(Pardon my cynicism).
Bottom Line is: Mee'toch Lo Lishmah, Ba Lismah.

If you get results with kolko, it will serve notice on all of the other sex predators out there and hopefully loosen the tongues of the suffering vistims.

Go sic 'em and Chazak!

BOTTOM LINE IS GROSS YOU DONT ADD SHIT TO THIS BLOG.

Paul Mendlowitz said...

Above Anon,

You are a shit disturber looking to go after people for the hell of it. Anyone that can read gross's story sees clearly that he was NOT molested.

As far as accomplishments go, we have many. I will get to them another time. I'm not here to toot my horn, I have a mission and it's not about bragging to you about my accomplishments.

Mr. Pasik, myself and members of the media are doing our thing; this stuff takes time, and I don't intend to sabotage my work by announcing it before I'm ready.

If this blog saved one child because yeshivas are extra vigilant about screening who they hire, this was well worth my time.

I leave you with this. I have much better things to do with my time than hang around a keyboard, I intend to clean up as much rif-raf in the commmunity as I can; gansters, thieves, molesters, predators and the sick element that tends to gravitate to the yeshivas.

I'm in it for the long haul and for the right reasons; God is on my side...I will prevail.

This is the new media, the Margolis post got thirteen thousand hits...he will get his, mark my words.

Anonymous, There is a difference between the earlier attempts to get Kolko away from kids and this campaign.

For the first time ever the public at large is being approached. While we expect the Margulies/Kolko/Yeshiva Torah Temima machine to respond aggressively; enough people have credible or first hand information about this pedophile to reinforce the truth about Kolko.

"You can fool some of the people some of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."

Second, after the mass mailing the newspaper articles will start. The mass media is out of the reach of the Margulies/Kolko/Yeshiva Torah Temima machine.

Third, once the newspaper articles commence followed by in depth magazine articles, the politicians will have no choice but to ignore the entreaties of the Margulies/Kolko/Yeshiva Torah Temima machine. The politicians have far more to lose by ignoring this threat to our children than the Margulies/Kolko/Yeshiva Torah Temima machine can ever offer them.

For the record, we have offered both Kolko and Margulies the opportunity to stop this embarrassment to our community. They were both given advance notice of this campaign and told that if Kolko retires immediately everything stops. If Kolko announces his retirement by this Friday, using any excuse he wishes, this stops. If Margulies maintains his arrogance by continuing to claim that he is responsible for the children at Yeshiva Torah Temima and that he believes that Kolko is no longer a threat; it might be time for us to let Yeshiva Torah Temima go as well.

Understand, the big story here is not that of one pedophile but rather of the massive cover up by Yeshiva Torah Temima, Camp MaNaMu, Yeshiva Karlin Stolin, Camp Agudah and all of the “leaders” who deem the reputation of our community more important than the lives of our children. This perversion of halacha and human values is as harmful as the pedophilia itself.

Pedophiles have no place among our children.

It's amazing that all of these "frum" jews are so concerned about the victimizer(s) and don't give two-shits about the victims.

Our Rabbinate, Organizations, Leaders, Mechanchim, etc. who know the truth of what has/is happening and remain silent have blood on their hands and are as culpable for these Retzichas as are the sex predators who stalk our kids.

To you "Rabbis and Leaders": Take your high-minded "ernste" Shabbos HaGadol and Shabbos Shuva Droshos and shove them up your sorry arses.

"Please don’t bash what the jews have had for centuries with your misinterpertations."

Quit your feeble attempt at adding simulated intellectual (and irrelevant) substance to your empty remarks. You aren't making any sense.

Of course TT is ignoring it - they are holding their breath and calling UOJ's bluff – for now. My point is, if the accusations were indeed fabricated, do you think they will just sit back and let "lies" like this exist in the open? Wouldn't someone make an attempt at reasonable contact w/ UOJ in an effort to dispel any false information?

Read my anecdote again: I was NOT molested (what is the motivation behind your question anyway?) My point to the story was, this was Camp Agudah and there was a counselor with a SERIOUS PROBLEM; there were witnesses and NOTHING was ever done. It shows how it is possible for animals to get away with things like this and go about their life as if nothing is amiss, while the victims remain silent. There are hundreds of camp incidents like the one I menioned.

There is another investigation underway concerning a former counselor who molested many campers at Camp Mogen Av. When he was later confronted, he did not deny it. There was no point in doing so. As a matter of fact this counselor admitted to molesting over 200 (!) boys throughout the years and when some of the victims were questioned years later, many of them DENIED being molested! Now do you get the point??

As for Marguiles you are not going to change the man, he's going to do what he has to do, and UOJ is not the one that will take him down. He will continue what hes doing, even once Kolko is not around.

Inmate Who Killed Defrocked Priest Is Found Guilty

By KATIE ZEZIMA

BOSTON, Jan. 25 — A jury in Worcester, Mass., today rejected an insanity plea by Joseph Druce and found him guilty of first degree murder in the strangulation death of a child-molesting priest behind bars in 2003.

Mr. Druce, who was already serving a life sentence for another killing, will be sentenced this afternoon.

He had admitted to killing the defrocked priest, John J. Geoghan, who was his fellow inmate at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center, known up to then as one of Massachusetts' most secure prisons.

Mr. Geoghan was one of the most widely known figures in the sexual abuse crisis in the Roman Catholic Church, having been accused of molesting some 150 children in several parishes over three decades. He was serving 6 years of a 9-to-10-year sentence for groping a boy in a swimming pool.

Mr. Druce had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. According to testimony by corrections officers during the trial, Mr. Druce told them he "did it for the children," to stop Mr. Geoghan, 68, from molesting more boys when he got out of prison.

Prosecutors said Mr. Druce followed Mr. Geoghan into his cell at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center on Aug. 23, 2003, and jammed the cell door shut with a nail clipper and a ripped-up copy of "The Cross and the Switchblade," a book about a minister who transformed the lives of teenage gang members by introducing them to Christianity.

He then tied Mr. Geoghan's hands with a T-shirt, wrapped stretched-out socks around Mr. Geoghan's neck, tightened them with a shoe, and then jumped up and down on his body, prosecutors said.

Mr. Druce took the stand on Monday and contended that his own molestation as a child and years in prison had filled him with rage, and that was "freaked out" by Mr. Geoghan's arrogance and his stated plans to work with children again when he was released from prison.
