Dearest Brothers,
I am not going to assume that I understand the life-long pain you are suffering being victims of sexual abuse. If the hurt you are presently feeling is because I have brought this issue to the front and center of the Orthodox world, kindly understand that I did it with the sole purpose of creating a new climate in our world; that of accountability.
The religious organizations as well as the yeshivas have failed miserably in protecting our youth from the merciless hands of abusers, be it sexual abuse or emotional. In matter of fact the Agudah for example, has ACTIVELY pursued a policy of protecting the molesters and their cohorts, by blocking every single piece of legislation that would have permitted the authorities to protect our children from the predators.They say "let the principals handle it," when the principals in many cases are involved in covering up the scandals to protect the "reputations" of their highly profitable fiefdoms.
There is nothing in it for me. I will remain anonymous; no fame, no glory, no plaques, no maftir, no money other than the money I intend to spend to publicize the issues that should be addressed by the organizations but are not. The mailing on Thursday is working it's way to your mailboxes; the post office and the mailing service are nice and friendly, but they insist on getting paid for their services. Bummer.
I would understand your hesitancy to come forward in a civil lawsuit against the above named people and entities; this is what I can offer to you as miniscule compensation for the suffering you have experienced.
I am in contact with the law firm who has collected in excess of two hundred million dollars from the various Catholic churches and archdioceses that were found guilty of harboring molesters.This is what they uncovered so far.
1- The combined assets of Kolko, Margulies, Tora Temima and it's entities have a net worth in excess of fifty million dollars.
2- "Leopold" Margulies started moving millions of dollars of assets around at the end of last year.
3- The law firm is VERY CERTAIN that if there are twenty bona fide witnesses,they can obtain a judgment against the above named entities, and wrestle away ALL the assets of the above named people and entities.
4- The juries have awarded damages, depending on the circumstances, from $500,000-$5,000,000, read five million dollars per victim.
5- In order for this firm to take this case the following has to happen:
a- I must give them a $100,000 retainer, which will be reimbursed to me after they collect on the judgment. This reimbursement would come from the "law firm's" proceeds, not from the victims'.
b- I am willing to do that out of my personal funds. I DO NOT want money from anyone!
c- The law firm's share would be one third of whatever they collect, the rest is going to be distributed in it's entirety to the victims.
d- They will NOT take the case until they have interviewed at the very least TWENTY victims, and are convinced of the credibility of the individuals.
e- I'm sure you are aware that everything you divulge to the attorneys would be protected under the attorney-client privilege.
The following must now happen in order for me to proceed. I must be contacted by e-mail by at the very least twenty five people that are willing to testify in court. ALL REPLIES WILL BE HELD IN THE STRICTEST CONFIDENCE.
The way I see it, each victim potentially would be able to collect anywhere from one to two million dollars, realistically. That is not to say that the judgment could not be greater than fifty million dollars; anything above fifty million, in my opinion, would not be collectible.
The alternative to actually taking money; you may wind up owning Yeshiva Tora Temima and it's entities, Margulies's house and Kolko's house, and you would now be in control of the yeshiva, to run it as you deem fit.
Please let me know. I am prepared to move quickly!
Hatzlacha v'kol tuv.

This is the letter. On yellow paper with a postmark dated February 2, 2006. UOJ, a man of his word!
CHILD MOLESTER ALERT
ATTENTION ALL PARENTS
There is a chronic child molester in our midst. He is not in hiding nor is he being kept away from our children. Shockingly, he is a Rebbe in Yeshiva Torah Temima located at 507 & 555 Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn, New York.
Rabbi Lipa Margulies knows of this Rebbe’s history of sexually molesting children. Rabbi Lipa Margulies refuses to remove this predator from his yeshiva. Specifically, Rabbi Lipa Margulies has been informed; repeatedly and 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 currently a Rebbe in Yeshiva Torah Temima.
We have a problem. This is not to say that our wonderful community has more child molesters than other communities. We may even have substantially fewer. The problem is in our propensity to ignore the covering up of these horrendous incidents. Child molesters must be exposed and removed from our midst. Our children must not be subjected to molesters while in school. Rabbi Lipa Margulies must stop his unconscionable employment of this molester and his covering up of this threat. Rabbi Yidi Kolko must resign his position immediately. We can not rest until our children are safe from this scourge.
This mailing should not have been necessary. Both Rabbi Yidi Kolko and Rabbi Lipa Margulies were given advance copies of this letter and advised if Rabbi Yidi Kolko left Yeshiva Torah Temima immediately, this mailing would be stopped. Rabbi Yidi Kolko responded: “the matter has been taken care of†coupled with an offer to meet with his victims in person, one at a time. Rabbi Lipa Margulies responded: “I don’t think he is still a threat and I am responsible for the children†followed by “Anyone who doesn’t like it, doesn’t have to send their children to my yeshiva.†In short, neither of these Mechanchim deny the facts; they simply refuse to do the right thing.
We are writing to ask you to speak out and help bring an end to this nightmare. Please call Rabbi Yidi Kolko at 1-718-252-6642 and ask him to resign his position immediately. Please call Rabbi Lipa Margulies at 1-718-438-1900 and ask him to dismiss Rabbi Yidi Kolko immediately. Child molesters must be kept away from our children. Our children deserve no less.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 364 of 364UOJ - did leach hach you again? Why are so many posts deleted?
There have been numerous attempts to take us down. One way is to spam the comments; therefore I turned on the moderation and the word verification features.
All comments will be published provided that they are not riddled with obscenities.
I encourage people with differing opinions to comment; those comments will be published.
If we're hacked, our new address;
theunorthodoxjew@yahoo.com
isnt that a email address? whats the blog?
isnt that a email address? whats the blog?
Keep it up UOJ, don't let them take you down. As a former TT student from when it was still called TV of Flatbush, (and who, by the way, did not have Kolko as a Rebbe, but who never heard anything bad about him at the time) I'm waiting to hear from people who have gotten the letter, as well as Margo and Kolko himself. I'm skeptical that that this was the way to get action but I do hope for all involved that you know what you are doing.
CORRECTION:IF WE ARE HACKED THE NEW ADDRESS WILL BE:

My e-mail address:

Thanks!
Someone just told me that Margo was taken to the Hospitial during davening this morning!
HEART ATTACK!!
Anyone have any further info?
Get the name for Tehillim.
Thanks.
Shimon Krohn.
OK guys here it is, I got the letter today. I am surprised I didn't think you would really do it UOJ. I am very impressed, it looks professionally done. Hats off to you, I hope you get the results you wanted from this.
I got a letter from Publishers Clearing House today, telling me I might already be a winner.
Both letters aren't worth the paper they're written on.
Hacker, Give it a rest.
You're boring. Put up or shut up!
UOJ- please don't tell me you're now reading each individual comment, deciding which ones go in and which don't. Geez, that sure seems like a colossal waste of time.
UOJ Hacker,
What is your intention? Is your goal to defend the "honor" of TT? If so, you are a fool and doing a poor job with that abhorrent language. It is interesting how not very many defenders of TT had anything intelligent to say, except for one or two.
Hackers are lower than molesters!
Hi - I am not sure who uoj hacker is but I was the one who spammed you to death. My new script is almost ready. Besides me I know of 2 people using different techniques about to blow this site up. However Kol Hamarbeh Harei zeh mishubach the more hackers the better. I wish all of them hatzlachah to shut this mamzer up.
UOJ blocked my old IP address no big deal I found a new proxy.
Above Anon,
I'm just preventing comment spam and outright obscenities.
EVERY OTHER POST WILL BE PUBLISHED!
I AM ENCOURAGING PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH ME VEHEMENTLY TO COMMENT, NO SPAM F*** BOMBS PLEASE!
I posted UOJ hacker to give you an example of the Kolko/Margulies supporters. Scumbags and low-lifes stick together!!!!!
Pretty smart uoj - turn on comment moderation so that you have an excuse for deleting the comments you don't like. Where is the comment I posted an hour ago under the name heeper? You didn't like what it said so you didn't let it go. I'm sure you'll post both of them now to show that you don't do that, but I know the truth.
UOJ it breaks my heart to see you have to spent your time moderating comments. also the word verifcation is a PITA. Any way sheigetzel still does not beleive the letters went out - my friends in flatbush did not receive them. Maybe post a pdf of the letter.
ATTENTION ALEH MENSCHEN:
THE FIRST GUY TO SCAN THE LETTER ON TO THE COMMENT SECTION GETS AN ALL EXPENSES PAID VACATION AT THE NEW ULTRA-LUXURIOUS HOTEL "TO BE BUILT" AT 550 OCEAN PARKWAY.
IT IS NOW A SHELTER FOR MOLESTERS; I FIGURE IN ABOUT TWO-THREE YEARS IT WILL BE REMODELED INTO A BEAUTIFUL HOTEL!
UOJ
Let me guess who will be the first one.
Let's see..... Will it be Boog? Letter Supporter? or just Anonymous.
Talk about low-lifes sticking together!
what star rating do you predict it will be . whatever hotel opens up , please makesure they DO NOT serve *chasidisher* shchitta
Where is the letter?
Uoj put up a copy.
SOME READING BELOW FOR THE WANNABE HACKERS:
"There is another group of people who loudly call themselves hackers, but aren't. These are people (mainly adolescent males) who get a kick out of breaking into computers and phreaking the phone system. Real hackers call these people ‘crackers’ and want nothing to do with them. Real hackers mostly think crackers are lazy, irresponsible, and not very bright, and object that being able to break security doesn't make you a hacker any more than being able to hotwire cars makes you an automotive engineer.
The basic difference is this: hackers build things, crackers break them.
If you want to be a hacker, keep reading. If you want to be a cracker, go read the alt.2600 newsgroup and get ready to do five to ten in the slammer after finding out you aren't as smart as you think you are. And that's all I'm going to say about crackers."
please say tehillim for
lipa-leopold ben fletbush zoina
Where is the letter you have been blabing about?
wheres the letter you have been blabbing about?
I live in the heart of Midwood, I'm on just about every yeshiva (including TT's) and some shul mailing lists as are many of my friend and relatives. We have yet to receive your much anticipated letter. If in fact this letter exists, whose mailing list did you use?
bbbbooooorrrrriiiiinnnnnggggggggg.......
UOJ:
I guess Anon above was right. He predicted the letters would be arriving later this week.
So, what date will the letters be postmarked?
Anon:
As promised by UOJ, the letters will be postmarked in California, and dated Thursday, February 2, 2006.
Patience remains a virtue.
"Where is the letter?
Uoj put up a copy."
Any reader of this Blog has seen an advance copy of the letter. The actual letter varies very little from the Blog post.
NU!!!!
Nobody wants an all expense paid vacation at the five star "MARKOL"
hotel????
Four different shechitas, hechsherim from the:Star K, OU,OK,CRC,FU,KKK,AK,.....
And you say you're publishing all comments, except for obscenity?!
Coward!!
Then again, that's no surprise.
Hmm, I'm quite certain I didn't use the F bomb in my comment and yet, it's not here...strange. Before I conculde that you, UOJ, are the fraud I'm pretty sure you are, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and re-ask my question.
I live im the heart of Midwood and am on many Brooklyn yeshiva and shul mailing lists, as are many of my friends and family (including several TT parents) none of us received any letter. I'm curious, whose mailing list did you use?
when are you mailing the letter?
you are all fools did you really think UOJ isnt full of BS cmon no letters went out ever he is playing with you all
This is the letter. On yellow paper with a postmark dated February 2, 2006. UOJ, a man of his word!

SeriousDoubts:
If you're on TT's mailing list, you'll get the letter. Patience.
Gedult!!!!
The letter is on it's way. When you do get it it will be postmarked February 2nd.
GEDULT!!!!
SeriousDoubts:
If you're on TT's mailing list, you're getting the letter.
The mailing list used was a combination of yeshiva and various tzedaka lists. The computer eliminated the duplicates.
I can guarantee that it went out, taken to the post office on February 2nd, and will be hitting mailboxes this week for sure.
If the olam doesn't get it before Shabbos I'm shutting down my blog.
How's that for a guarantee?
Bingo Anon,
YOU ARE THE WINNER!!!!!!!DING,DING,DING!!!!!!
COME ON DOWN!!!!!!!
YOU GET THE CHOSSON-KALLAH SUITE AT THE NEW MARKOL HOTEL ON OCEAN PARKWAY!!!!!!!
ouj i will use the initials zz----when margo and kolko outlast your sorry ass i will remind you--your blog is full of people already who discredit you.Ive spoken to hundreds of flatbush people about this already and not ONE has heard anything like this about kolko---until someone comes forward you have no proof about this and may g-d repay ten times worse than what you are doing to kolko and probably his family---may you your wife and your kids suffer a thousand times worse than all your victims on all your blog letters
attn everyone--any negative comments about uoj are being deleted from this bwonder why??
hey uoj--zz here---stop being a first class coward and let the posts go through
Yungerman:
Why do you need a scan? What's wrong with the real thing or the text above?
WOW! ONE person got the letter. I'm so convinced!
Attention UOJ: Are you too scared to take on Simcha Klor. Are you also intimidated by this lying, thieving slimeball.
Attention YRC parents: If UOJ will not take on Klor, then let's take our complaints to a different blog that will get results.
Once again:
I PUBLISH ALL COMMENTS THAT DON'T HAVE OBSCENITIES.
FYI I HAVE BLOCKED THOUSANDS OF COMMENTS THAT ALL IT HAD WAS THE F*** BOMB.
I DO NOT LIKE COMMENT MODERATION AND WILL TAKE IT OFF EVENTUALLY AND WE WILL SEE IF THE MINUVALIM ARE WILLING TO CRITICIZE ME AND MY BLOG WITHOUT TALKING LIKE A BROKEN TOILET!!!
KLOR HATER,
I do not publish crap that I PERSONALLY AM NOT AWRE OF.
THIRD REQUEST: GET ME VERIFIABLE INFO AND I'LL LOOK INTO IT.
EVERYTHING I PUBLISH I HAVE VERIFIED TO BE ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!!
Holy Hannah! You read THOUSANDS of comments and delete F bombs left and right and you still have the time to be a hot shot real estate mogul, fancy schmancy business man, choshuveh board member.
Truly, I'm impressed. *insert eye roll emoticon here*
UOJ - I was a doubter and I got the letter today. I confess that I did not believe you but you proved me wrong. HOWEVER - you did not have the courage to sign your name. This is unfair. You are now making very serious accusations in writing. You must have the courage to show your face.
Shlomo,
The people who received or will receive the letter were from a complied list. It is my opinion that the list was comprised of other lists - mainly Tzedaka orgs. or Yeshiva lists.
Since you don't really earn money yet (and you don't have kids in Yeshiva) you probably don't give much Tzedaka - therefore you aren't on a "mosod list."
When your shtotty law career takes off, perhaps you'll begin to receive Tzedaka mail.
The letters have arrived in our homes.
All those who are interested in the safety of our children, please discuss the letter and if you are comfortable with its accuracy, ask your friends to call Kolko and Margulies to request they do the right thing.
We do not want to escalate to the next level but we will if we must.
All the Agudah machers got their letters. They're machen in der hoizen
I got the letter. unbelievable-maybe we can get the organizations like Tora Umesora to do something.
Good work UOJ, what you do is a mitzva. It's not pretty but neither is the hell these molested kids are suffering.
the letter came today postmark feb. 2-ouj you got my attention
i went home to check my mail. the letter was there.i am going back now i will let you know.
I received the mailing. While I understand the need for you to be anonymous, what do you expect the letter to accomplish?
my mail came today and no letter yet i asked some friends they havent recieved any letter either
Shmuel:
We expect the letter to start a dialogue in our community about the evils of ignoring the existence of child molesters in our children's classrooms.
We also expect Kolko to remove himself from our children's classroom or be forced out by the public outcry.
YY
Drop Dead - nobody wants your filthy self posting here. You're irrelevant.
Yes I got the letter. Ok I hope we people will do something serious.
Suggestion, write and call TT and demand that Margulies remove Kolko.
If he gets hundreds of calls, he will have no choice.
Save the children I beg of all of us.
You are a sick individual. If he is guilty or not he still has a wife and kids that don't deserve this kind of treatment.
You will rot in hell!
I SWEAR that untill I have heard that you have been cought,tried and sentenced, or that you have been cought and publicly have had the SHI* out of you I will DAVEN 3 TIMES A DAY THAT YOU DIE OF A MISA MESHUNAH!
I strongly agree with TT parent, I received the letter as well.
Be polite and firm with Margolis, he will have to let kolko go.
Please leave R.S.K. & Y.R.C. out of this discussion - it has nothing to do with the above - quit spreading false rumors. There is absolutely no toe-eles in bring it up.
Whether RSK was right or wrong in firing the principle - it is over & done. Don't destroy a school that has a few hundred kids, because you dont like the man. By bad mouthing RSK you are only causing an already unstable yeshiva to fall apart, causing hundreds of kids to be "homeless"! He will get a new principle & rebuild. Leave it alone.
I have heard from people in brooklyn that they got your letter. That being said i think it is abominable that the letter was sent anonymously. You have no guts if you can call someone out like that but cannot put your name to it. I think you just sent it for all the extra attention and pats on the back you will get from your ilk. Its time to either put up (proof) or shut up.
I have received the letter postmarked san diego.
I did not open it, but called the police telling them that i suspect this to be a very suspicious envelope. they came with the bomb squad, bomb sniffing dogs, and WMD specialists. They confiscated the letter.
UOJ if I were you I would run REAL FAST!
Flatbush Yid:
Who do you pray to? The Patron Saint of Child Molesters?
You can't wait until UOJ is "cought, tried and sentenced"? For what? Exposing Kolko as a chronic child molester?
UOJ deserves a ticker tape parade for what he's done!
Flatbush Yid, your values are askew.
I have been a rebbe in yshivas for almost thirty years. I am not a fan of anonymous letters or rechilus, however there is no effective way in place to deal with problems like Margolis and Kolko.
This scandal is the worst kept secret in the yeshiva world.
I know many people who have been affected for life by these two.
The cover-up in a way is worse than the crime, because Kolko should have been fired immediately!! Kids do not make up these stories. Out of hundreds and hundreds of rebbes in the system one guy decides to spend thousands of dollars on a mailing to pick on a particular rebbe for no reason? We in the chinuch world know it's true.
Until the yeshivas and mosdos aggressively deal with these abominations, I support OUJ's approach.
Torah Umesorah, Agudah, OU, where are you?
Yeshiva Rebbe:
Thank you.
UOJ Hater:
While it's not a crime to hate UOJ (merely bad judgment,) it is a crime to file a false police report.
So Mr. Hater, better take your own advise and run like the dickens!
I received the letter and am wondering if this is true how is it that tt is still open? a yeshiva with a molester still teaching and uoj is the bad guy?
Shame on the people that allowed it to continue for the yeshiva to be open. so now we have to rely on an anymous blogger to protect our children? what am I missing here?
I have received information from credible sources that the real reason Magolies has been protecting Kolko is.................They are actually lovers...every morning after shacharis kolko goes up to the office where margolies shows him whos daddy...a little before breakfast ass reaming !! I feel proud to have shared the truth with the oilam !! god bless UOJ!
If this is in fact true, firing Kolko would not be enough. The Yeshiva should be closed down.

===================================
why close it down. just throw out the no goodniks from thier high places and have the new board hire new rabeim and priciple
where is ouj how come he's not replying.good letter.
If you bear the title rabbi you better act like one!!!
Gingerbread Man:
Most of the hockers that run around in kapotes with their pants pulled up high are frauds. I always wonder what goes through the mind of a "rabbi" who decides to don langa rekel and an up-hat - he think to himself "ah it doesn't pas to wear suits from Syms anymore... I gotta look choshuv...it's not "ahlts" my kavod it's for the bochurim to have kovod HaTorah!" I actually heard this from a guy who went to "Long Beach." He really believed that the Rebbeim didn't want to change their "livush" but they did it for the talmidim who needed it. I asked him why R' Pam didn't need to wear choshuve livush to get respect. H ehad no idea. I know the answer though - R' Pam was old school, respect came to him, he didn't need to chase it with a kapote and empty hat.
Flatbush Yid:
You are quintessential Flatbush garbage. The criminals had plenty of time to protect their families; don't play that weak hand.
TT has no real Board. Margo has his suckers he hits on for money and calls them his Board. TT is Margo's private business.
If he doesn't get rid of this monster the only choice may be for the authorities to shut him down.
Where does koklo live?
Kolko is not answering his phone.
Margulies sends UOJ his best, he wants his phone number.
Kolko is listed at 1249 East 22nd Street between L & K
I heard about this problem years ago when I sent my son to Torah Temima. How do you know it is true?
I was in camp with Yudi Koko. Its true.
I'm going to assume that Margulies is as stubborn and stupid as Paroh was, and it will take ten makos for him to let Kolko go.
I'm preparing makah # 2.
Stubborn is as stubborn does.
These morons have no idea what they have fallen into. UOJ, you're correct. The arrogance of these lowlifes needs to be broken.
Go for it!
UOJ;
Received the letter.
margo says he ain't removing kolko and if the parents don't like it they can send their kids elsewhere.
I say that is a wonderful idea and parents should take him up on his offer.
I know of another child molester I am curious how you would go about ostricizing him. And regarding Kolko are there any specific recent stories of his? because many have heard the "rumor" adn it is terrible to even have young innocent boys in his classroom
uoj i dont even want to meet you in hell.
Margulies has someone answering his phones asking for callback numbers.
The TT machine is gearing up. Poor a-holes have no idea what they're in for.
UOJ is going straight to heaven for this. Hell is reserved for Margolies and his goons.
Black Hatter:
You ignore one factor in your argument. Margulies has known of the problem with Kolko for a very long time.
He made the decision to bully victims instead of getting rid of Kolko.
Bad call.
Black Hatter,
I'm going to let Boog or Gross answer you; you are off the charts with your nonsense remarks.
Margo has KNOWN about this for 30 Years!!!!!!!!
Anonymous,
Please report the child molester to the police and inform The Awareness Center. That's their specialty.
This Kolko/Margulies issue is tearing my heart out...innocent kids at the mercy of the Godfather of the yeshiva Mafia and a very sick man.
I was told that Fox News had a piece tonight on a child that was molested by a priest when he was ten years old; he is now 19 and just informed his parents who went to the police and hired a Miami attorney named Mr. Herman who is suing the diocese and the priest.
Mr. Herman's position is that the diocese is responsible for the happenings in their schools, whether they claim they knew about the priest's problem or not.
Furthermore, he says, if he can prove the diocese knew about the behavior of the priest, and the diocese kept him there anyway, the diocese's assets, all of them, will be owned by his client.
I don't believe in coincidence, that's my message to stay the course.
The difference is obvious – Kolko has a well-known history of chronic sex abuse, whereas Tendler’s behavior is relatively recent. Rabbi Leopold's protection is even more despicable because he knows that the one he is protecting is GUILTY of committing acts against CHILDREN. There is no possible defense here. Unlike in the case of an adult, pleading “consensual” is not an option.
Re: "Haskomos," I won't even comment.
its time for the yeshiva world to rise to the level of the catholic church. nebach. this is what people like margoles do to us.
Haskama?! From whom? The rabonim who have allowed this for decades? Perhaps you should get a Haskama from Margulies.
Are we members of a sick cult? Or are we members of a halacha based community?
What has happened to us? Haskama, God help us!
What has happened to us is that we have by direction and inculcation of our "Rabbinic Leaders" turned Torah Yiddishkeit upside down on its head.
White is black and black is white.
Torah-true Emes "Frum" has been seeded with elements of "krum" which allows perversions such as child sex molestation/predation against children, sex harassment and worse against women, and money fraud schemes and chicanery against individuals, corporations, and Government Agencies to go unchecked and unreported. Look to Skver in Monroe where massive money fraud has been raised to a Mitzvah...have a problem, need a pardon? no problem...just get on the phone to Hillary and Bill and it will be taken care of. Contact Gedaliah Weinberger to host a Dinner/Parlor meeting in his home for the Skverer Rebbe, who doled out Brochos to the Flatbush/Boro Park grateful.
We have the yo-yo dip-Lipshitz editor of the Yated in lakewood who exhorts the BMG faithful by equating the wearing of the Black Hat to Shevat Levi.
If you are questioned as to the meaning of the Black Hat, he writes, tell them you are from the illustrious Shevat Levi. There is something much worse than 'bugs' in the Lakewood water.
Jack Abramov and many of the denizens of Otisville wear the Black Hat, so what? Cheetzonious is nice and good, Penimious is better.
Look to Otisville, where a growing clan of "Am Hanivcharniks" have taken up residence for committing all kinds of money frauds. The latest "sheine yidden" to hit the front pages of our newspapers are Jeffrey Rosen and David Cohen of Kew Gardens for doctoring tax returns for over thousands of their professional clients. Not to worry. Three "Glatt" Kosher meals (Heinemann-Star-K? Oy Vey!), Daf Yomi, and Guest lectures by our Rabbis await them.
Lanner,
Mondrowitz,
Tendler,
Bryks,
Carlebach,
Kolko,
just to name a few sex pervert All-Stars.
Rechilus, Loshon Hora, and Motzei Shem Ra have been given new meanings and definitions whcih protect these monsters.
The Agudah, Torah Umesorah, Rabbinic Leadership, have known and know of these sex predators and not only done absolutely nothing, but Agudah continuously goes out of its way to stymie any and all legislative attempts
to bring some sanity into our classrooms and prevent sex predators from entering the halls of our Yeshivas as employees. They are complicit in allowing these perversions to continue and will be held accountable.
How can you do this OUJ? they ask. They (the molesters)have families is the refrain. True. They also have a very big problem which cries out for some form of professional help and at the very least a job away from Chinuch and away from our children.
What about the the molestees and their families? Who will give their lives back to them? Why doesn't anybody give a s--t? Where are you Dov Hikind? Going to Gush Katif was noble and a nice PR photo-op for you but we have a big problem here. Where is your big mouth on this situation? You could stare down Guiliani on 13th Avenue at a rally in front of Amnon's Pizza but you don't have the beitzim to address this issue? Wonder why?
Kudos to UOJ for stepping front and center to tackle this.
I received the letter yesterday. It is an important first step but I agree with you that more actons will be necessary to effect positive change because Vee'Ikovda Es Lev Paroh.
Nothing in life that is worthwhile comes easy.
Stay the course, UO.
First word verification.
Now Moderation.
Margo - 2 points
OUJ's letter received in the mail.
OUJ - 1 point
Question... So we sue Margo & the school shuts down. No what did we gain other then 1,000 boys with no school to go. Is this really the correct way to go?
I hope UOJ is ready to burn in hell for the recent letters slandering and attempting to destroy a dedicated mechanech of many years. I find it most telling that the letter bears NO signature and originated from some shady PO box in San Diego California. In fact, nowhere in either his letter or his blog does anybody identify themselves at all. It should be noted that in the Catholic sex abuse scandal, there were NAMES and FACES--pepole who were abused. Nothing of the sort here. I firmly believe that UNORTHODOX is so anti the entire frum establishment, that he will viciously malign and slander anyone without a thought of the potential harm. His sole interest is in causing strife within the frum jewish community. PLEASE DISREGARD THIS DANGEROUS PSYCHOPATH!
I worked for Kolko for a few years in camp, the man is a nut, and probably has many enemies from the way dealt with people while running the camp. However, I never saw him do anything innapropriate with any of the campers.
OUJ, why are you coming forward now? What prompted you to do this and possibly destroy a man's life? If this is true, IF IF IF, could this not have been taken up privately? Did you consult A dayan or any relgious authority before you sent out this letter? You have not proved your credibility but you already sent out the letter.
I won't be quick to pass judgement about R Kolko because I myself have not witnessed him do anything untoward, nor do I personally know anyone who has witnessed this, nor do I know anyone who claims to be a victim. Furthermore, it's very hard to prove yourself innocent in this case. UOJ, assume your secty one day wakes up and decides you sexually assualted her. Prove you didn't
I do question UOJ's motves. It appears to ME (and several people who received the letter) that Mr. UOJ has a beef (perhaps business?) with Rabbi Margulies. He seems hell bent on taking down Margulies and not bringing Kolko to justics. Sure he CLAIMS he wants to protect the children, but his real goal is to see Margulies suffer and I highly doubt it's because of anything Kolko did.
All that glitters is not gold and you, Mr. UOJ are far from gold.
It is not UOJ's job to "prove" his credibility. If you want names as proof, call Kolko and Margo and ask them. Dayanim and Rabbonim don't give a crap and they are scared shitless of money men like Margo. Wake up!
No amount of evidence will convince some people of the truth. A victim comes forward and he is labeled crazy - it's an uphill climb but will be worthwile in the end.
All you anti-UOJ'ers
You're all infidels. How dare you question UOJ's "Holy War". Don't you know that g-d himself appeared to UOJ and told him all the facts... Don't you know that g-d personally assigned this Jihad to UOJ....
Let a group of Kolko defenders on this blog, get together and arrange a meeting with both Margo and Kolko and discuss it with them - let's see if they both they have the guts to deny it. Your theories are worthless because Kolko/Marg haven't denied it!
We tried accomplishing this without making a public statement. We contacted Kolko and Margulies and discussed the situation with them. Both Kolko and Margulies were immediately aware that they were dealing with people who had first hand knowledge of Kolko's guilt. They did not even attempt to deny the facts.
Nonetheless, they dismissed our request that Kolko leave our children's classroom.
We than sent both Kolko and Margulies advance copies of the letter and again asked that Kolko leave our children's classroom. They asked us to trust them to protect our children. We responded that a molester has no place around our children.
We gave them a deadline. They refused to act.
Only then did we mail the letter.
We are again asking that Kolko leave teaching. We will not proceed to our next step if he does so immediately. If he does not leave Yeshiva Torah Temima and stay away from children, we will take the next step in our campaign.
This situation will escalate out of our control very quickly. Several yeshivas and organizations are complicit in the covering up of Kolko's molesting of our children. We are not interested in bringing these yeshivas and organizations to their knees. We merely want our children to be safe in their classrooms.
Yidi Kolko, Lipa Margulies; do the right thing.
I was molested by Mondrowitz many years ago.
The dog stuck his hands in my pants and fondled me.
Another kid asked me if he ever touched me in any of "those" places.
I told him "yes".
I don't have a beef with the guy. I merely hate him for taking advantage of me.
If you think there are others who don't feel the same way about Kolko and others like him..............
GUESS AGAIN!
All these guys have wives!
They all have children!
That gives them carte blanche to molest children?
We have to remain silent when they don't keep their filthy hands to themselves?
To protect their families?
WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES?
As everyone has said, this issue is stale and not going anywhere.
It was actually a nice try by UOJ.
Maybe you should go and try to dig up some other story and make a big rucckus over it.
How about Kennedy's assissination?
Who really killed JFK?
That'll get more people going than some made-up revitalized story about Rabbi K.
I was molested by Mondrowitz many years ago.
He decided to put his hand down the front of my pants.
I felt ashamed, and was afraid to speak up for myself.
There those out there who feel they have the right to let their hands wander wherever it suits them.
There are others who need proof of these actions.
The victim never needs proof. He knows what he felt.
Worry about the molestors wife?
Think of his children?
WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN WHO WERE DEFILED???
What about their families?
Why do we protect the instigators and slander the victims?
WHO SUFFERED WITH THE SHAME AND EMBARRASMENT THROUGHOUT THEIR CHILDHOOD?
THE MOLESTOR??????
If Kolko did any of this even if it was years ago, he should be penalized.
So what if years have passed.
Those who were assaulted never forget.
They don't have to prove anything to themselves. They know the truth.
UOJ YOU HAVE LOST ANY CREDIBILITY, IF YOU HAD ANY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
YOU ARE DELETING ANY POST THAT YOU DISAGREE WITH, AND POSTING THOSE FROM YOUR FRIENDS LIKE LETTER SUPPORTER.
IF YOU HAD AN OPEN FORUM, THIS ISSUE MIGHT TAKE OFF.
IT IS NOW A CLOSED ISSUE, WITH YOU MODERATIONG AND DELETING EVERY POST.
HAVE A GOOD DAY. I THINK WE'LL MOVE ON TO A DIFFERENT BLOG.
I PUBLISH EVERY SINGLE COMMENT THAT IS NOT RIDDLED WITH OBSCENITIES!!!!!!!!
Indeed, what about the victims and their families? Hmm?
Answer me that you mis-guided bleeding heart do-gooders!
Who will give the Levins back their son Daniel who hung himself because he couldn't handle the trauma and the pain after Bryks molested him?
Another TT Parent:
We are not accusing either Kolko or Margulies of possessing a "right mind." No one in their right mind either molests children or protects a child molester.
We merely state the facts as they occurred. If push comes to shove we will provide audio evidence.
Consider for a moment that both Kolko and Margulies realized immediately they were speaking with people having knowledge of Kolko’s guilt.
In fact, Kolko asked, “did I do anything to you?” before the discussion continued.
We are not reckless people. This campaign was carefully thought out and built upon a foundation of fact. As wily a character as Margulies is, the reality remains that he is disadvantaged by having to lie to the public. Most people can discern between truth and lies.
Once again, all we are asking is that Kolko leave our children. They must not be subjected to a child molester in the classroom.
Sexual abuse is happening all over in the yeshivas, especially dormitories. The administration sweeps it under the rug. Their answer is it is normal for this to happen...
former yeshiva boy;
Thanks for your first-person account.
You are correct. The victim is made to feel guilty and ashamed for bringing charges. There is absolutely nobody to talk to. The Rabbonim are a joke and beholden to the yeshivas. Parents have reputations to maintain and shidduchim to do with their kids and are therefore mortified about coming forward. There is no support group to help them withstand the onslaught.
This is why UOJ's current attempt is vital and needsto succeed. Break down this barrier with one example, kolko, and other predators will be served notice that they are next. This entire culture of under the rug sweeping will come to an end and long overdue reforms regarding the hiring of Yeshiva personnel can be put into place.
UOJ, I am sorry for the pain and suffering you were so obviously subjected to in your years in the sad yeshiva system that needs to be rectified. However, this does not give you the right to "play G-d". The ten Makos?!?!? Who are you to decide what makos a person should receive. Anyway, aside from your terrible yeshiva experience, I'm sorry about the obviously bad business deals or problems getting into MaNaVu (rocks) years ago or whatever it is that got you so upset that you feel this is necessary. As for Margo, I don't know what he did to you personally but who doesnt have something against him...
Former Yeshiva Student:
Thank you for your comment. Your story about Kolko is consistent with what we know.
If nothing else, it drives home the point that a molester will find ways to spend intimate time with his potential victims. Some parents delude themselves that they can protect their children from Kolko by warning them. Your experience shows otherwise.
We are glad your experience with Kolko stopped short of actual abuse.
If you are willing to participate in our campaign to end the abuse of our children, please e-mail UOJ at a_unorthodoxjew@yahoo.com.
dear UOJ
I have to admit i do agree to many of your opinions . you for one have actually voiced out most try to keep to themselves or merely "brush under the
carpet". unfortionately im extremely emabarresed to share anything with such a sick pathetic pig like yourself.
1) who made you god all of a sudden?
even if these allegations are true it is pure loshon hora-
and please dont give me that excuse that loshon hora doesnt apply here beacuse who are you to pasken ?
and this is deffiately isnt the proper way way of dealing with such issues but according to your website there are a few rabbonim that you hold of did you conult them first?? it is also definately loshon hora the 2 ""humurous" articles making fun of R kolko that you have posted on your site (i would give a link but dont want to spread even more loshon hora)
2) i think the most pathetic part of you is the fact that your hiding yourself . what are afraid of??
by the way i hope your lawyers told you that this is all illegal
. and what is your true agenda ??? the alleged stories dealing with rabbi kolko happened more than 20 years ago what all of a sudden happened that caused a moron like you to try and mess up his name again? isnt it true that a group of rabbonim all agreed to let r' kolko continue his rabbi position years ago??? and why would r margolious, according you, a evil business man let r kolko stay in his school if he actually thought the stories were true it wouldnt be good for business would it???
also are there any "statute of limitations " that apply here???
3) i know first hand unfortionately about real stories of molestion ...rachmana l'ztalan
and i know r' kolko and none of these sories are true and if they where chos vshalom are true
who are to go and mess his name up
please get a life.... ASAP
YOU THINK YOU ARE HELPING K'LAL YISRAEL
~~~ YOU ARE RUINING IT!!!!~~~~~
J
PS - PLEASE POST MY COMMENT
AS THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO ALL I HAVE DONE IS VOICED MY OPINION AND TRIED MY HARDEST NOT TO USE VULAGARITY
go F*@K urself your lil prick
you obviously have something to lose or else why are you hiding yourself so well???
you are HANDS DOWN the biggeset loser in the world
I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR YOU
GET A FREAKIN LIFE !!!!!!!
AND KNOW ONE THING HELL IS A HOT PLACE SO YOU BETTER ENJOY AS MUCH OF THIS WORLD AS YOU CAN OR START DOING T'SHUVA
anon;
You and your ilk are the main reason we are in this very sad state of affairs.
You have your heads so ostrich-like deep in the sand that your tuchis' is parallel to the ground.
Had a Geshrei and action come forth from our leaders years ago about this retzicha behavior, UOJ would have had no reason to launch this campaign.
Is it true that Kolko was once spotted at a Carvel (non cholov yisroel!!!!) ???
Just when I thought it couldn't possibly get stupider...

Former Yeshiva Student,
That guy in Romimu (the law student, ) was worse than you think. He molested hundreds of boys in camp. I've made mention of him on this blog before.
Best Wishes
Former Yeshiva Student:
Is this the story you are referring to?
http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1874306,00.html
UOJ
Did you catch that comment about a toras moshe connection to the kid who jumped off the Empire State Building?
Is that possible?
As for Margo, I don't know what he did to you personally but who doesnt have something against him...
////////////////////////////////
if you had a son that was molested would you speak this same way?
Quote.. but who doesnt have something against him...
what an assanine remark!!!
Stupid is right, Gross...it is getting worse by the minute. Must be the heavy cholent intake and the enriched white flour that is destroying brain cells.
A law student, eh?!!
Wonder where he is now? Be a trip if he
is called on to defend an accused sex molester.
"If the glove does fit, you must acquit".
Yes, the kid that jumped off the Empire State Building was Dovid Abramowitz H"YD, he was a talmid at Toras Moshe and was sexually abused there; Meiselman has blood on his hands.
David Abramowitz added to the list.
Where are you Dovid Zwiebel, Agudah Lawyer?
You must be BUSY writing another brief to the State Legislature advocating and assuring the legislators that reporting to the Police is totally unnecessary because we must be discreet and the Yeshiva Principals are fully competent in handling abuse cases in their schools?!
No amount of water will wash this calumny off your hands.
Interesting, rabbi meiselman was very quick to act to destroy r nosson slifkin for kefirah, but something that really threatens yiddishkeit, he sat on his hands!
A law student, eh?!!
Wonder where he is now? Be a trip if he

He's married with children and was leading a seemingly normal life. One of his victims came forward with the story and the cat is now out of the bag. He admitted to molesting 200 kids over the years, and he knows his life is pretty much over. Needless to say this has been kept hush-hush.
Interestingly enough, most of the boys he admitted molesting, denied it! That really illustrates how this issue is dealt with in the Orthodox community and how difficult it is to get a pedophile away from our children - victims are even denying it! It also answers the pervasive question posed by Kolko defenders on this blog, as to why we haven't heard of many cases that are more recent. "He must've stopped," they imagine...
Only in the "frum" world....
Gross;
What you describe is I believe known as the Stockholm Syndrome, where the victims identify with the victimizers to the point where they deny and rationalize the harm done to them.
Holocaust Survivors are a case in point.
DEAR U O J
ARE YOU MARRIED?????
AND ARE YOU REALLY NOT ORTHODOX????
SORRY FOR THE PERSONAL Q'S
said that criticism is not allowed?
I sure never did.
But I did say that one may not tear people down based on rumors.
And, by the way, I wasn't the first to say that.
The Torah does!
So, unless you believe in another faith - which is okay if you do - don't tell me that "I am paiting myself into a vinkel" or that I am "insecure."
And, to the gntleman who said we should respond "logically", let me say this: When dealing with UOJ and those of his ilk, there IS NO LOGIC. YOu can't talk intelligently to them because they have no respect for themselves, let alone other people, let alone gedolim and respected members of the frum community.
THESE PEOPLE ARE INSANE. Let us call a spade a spade.
Unfortunately, their blogs have given them a voice and assisted them in attracting attention.
BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE THEM ANY MORE CREDIBLE.
They are bitter and ready to do anything - EXCEPT PUT THEIR NAME AND FACE BEHIND A STORY.
They curse out gedolim, make accusations against rabbonim, criticize virtually every mosad - without substantiating anything they write.
It is ludicrous that they are given the time of day.
We can, and we will, put these guys away, and we will stand for kevod Shomayim and kavod haTorah.

We can, and we will, put these guys away, and we will stand for kevod Shomayim and kavod haTorah.
---------------------------------
Kovod hatora and kvod shomayim?
You sound more like the Hamas and the Taliban!!!
Mr. Mavaser:
We do not owe Margulies anything, let alone the faces behind this campaign.
We will disclose who we are when we are at that point in our campaign. We have some distance to travel before we reach that stage and Margulies and Torah Temima will be long gone when we reach that point.
As to our credibility, those who know, know; and this includes Margulies.
Please relay the following to him:
Lipa:
To knowingly harbor a child molester is a crime. Despite your complicity in Kolko’s heinous atrocities, we gave you advance notice of the mailing and offered to withdraw it if you fired Kolko. You refused. We delivered.
Pay close attention to our message.
We do not want to escalate this unfortunate situation to the next level. We are proud of our heritage and suffer greatly when scandal hits our community.
Nonetheless, we will not sit idly by and allow you to hurt our children. The progression of this campaign it entirely up to you. We will stop when our children are safe from Kolko’s perversion. Not a moment sooner.
Your business will not survive our next move. Again; your business will not survive our next move.
All we ask of you is what you are morally and legally obligated to do. Fire Kolko the child molester.
We have given you a good life. We allowed you to prosper. Do not allow your arrogance to destroy what you have you have spent your life building. Child molesters do not belong in our yeshiva.
Lipa, do the right thing.
Mr. Mavasar, please try to calm Margulies down and reason with him. Yeshiva Torah Temima is poised on a precipice. His actions over the next few days will determine its fate. We do not seek its demise; we merely want our children to be safe in their classrooms.
Lastly, when he asks what our next move is, tell him "פרטים יבוא"
Thank you.
letter supporter;
Were you molested by kolko and are you now or have you ever been a TT parent?
Shabbat Shalom
Boog:
Respectfully, some questions are best left unanswered for now.
letter supporter;
I don't think answering my question will give your ID away and may indeed add legitimacy to your support of UOJ and this venture.
Boog:
True. However, the veracity of our claims will be undisputed long before we disclose our identities.
In any case, our group includes people who answer yes to your questions.
UOJ I know who you are and, if you move foward I will identify you. Let's see how you react when I send out a mailing with your name and, number.
Glad you finally learned how to spell Torah Temimah.
Former Yeshiva Boy - It looks like you've been to many of the same mainstream yeshivas and camps like many of the rest of us. I, for one, have never experienced this so-called "overwhelming aura of homosexuality and sexual deviation".
Ever wonder why all these people seem to be drawn to you????
All these people who have issues with this blog should just not read it. That's all. Leave the guy alone. He's gonna continue to persue what he chooses. Blog comments won't change anything.
And if this indeed is true, this man must pay for what he has done. OUJ just wants Justice. What's wrong with that?
Michelle,
Someone who wants justice doesn't need to make a public display like this - this is just someone who wants attention.
There are ways to pursue true justice. This is not one of them.
after years of frustration and being "ignored" by the "system" maybe this is the only way to awaken the public to the real problem at hand...

Remember Mondrowitz, the Gerrer Chosid Ph.D?
Many rabbonim and leaders in Ger as well as outside Ger knew about this scumbag but said Nada for years. How many boys are scarred and ruined for life because of this "frum" bastard?
He was finally reported and got his sorry ass on a flight to Israel one step ahead of the cops.
GER STILL HAS NOT LEARNED A LESSON i.e. A.M. LEIZEROWITZ who heads the gerrer yeshiva in brooklyn and gets off on his students of 13-17 years of edge. and these are extreme shomer habris bastards.
