Mr. Margulies:
As I see it you have 24 hours to make a decision which may determine the fate of your life's work.
Door number 1: fire the chronic child molester Kolko and you get to die with your business somewhat intact.
Door number 2: assume you can threaten and buy your way out of this looming disaster and you leave this world in absolute and utter disgrace.
I'm here to inform you that if Kolko is not out of Torah Temima today, you will be facing your Waterloo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki all rolled into one nice neat package. No more dinners, no more $50,000.00 club members and no more board members to take advantage of.
Don't be stupid, you have too much to lose. We have allowed you to build up a big business in our community.We should have ousted you years ago; you are HUMAN TINAF!
All we ask is that you not subject our children to a molester. Do the right thing. Get rid of this child molester today.
You never had to deal with a force as powerful as this; WE WILL CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS UNTIL OUR GOAL IS MET, NO BUYING YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS SCANDAL!
The letter below is being mailed TONIGHT to thousands of Orthodox Jewish households in Boro Park, Kensington and Flatbush. I am asking my readers to please copy the letter from this post and e-mail it to as many people as possible. Together, we can put a stop to this depravity.
WARNING-ATTENTION ALL OF JUDAISM
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.
Mr. Margulies, read this news flash very seriously.
Attorney: Spokane Church Offers Settlement
By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS-Associated Press/AP Online02/01/2006 5:43 PM
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Roman Catholic Diocese of Spokane, which filed for bankruptcy after being barraged with sex-abuse lawsuits, has offered a $45.7 million settlement to 75 people who say they were molested by priests.
Bishop William Skylstad publicly apologized Wednesday to the victims "for the terrible wrongs inflicted on you in the past." He urged Catholics to accept the proposed settlement, which will require money from individual parishes.
"To those of you who say this settlement will be a burden, I would say that this scandal is a burden we can no longer afford not to resolve," said Skylstad, head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Plaintiffs' lawyer James Stang said a committee representing alleged victims voted Tuesday night to recommend that the offer be accepted.
Under the proposed settlement, the diocese agreed not to describe the plaintiffs as "alleged victims" anymore and to give them the opportunity to address parishes and write about their experiences in the diocesan newspaper. Skylstad also would go to each parish where abuse occurred to identify the offending clergymen, Stang said.
Skylstad also agreed to support the abolition of statutes of limitations on sex crimes, write letters to abused individuals and their families and add two members of a victims group to a board that reviews clergy sex abuse complaints, Stang said.
Some of those who would benefit financially from the offer said the diocese's other concessions were more important.
"Civil litigation was the only way to hold them accountable," abuse victim Mike Corrigan said at a news conference Wednesday. "Most of us would rather they went to jail than get money out of them."
Stang said the offer must be approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and by the victims individually within 120 days.
The settlement would cover all those who have already sued the diocese. There is no provision for anyone who might bring a claim in the future.
The diocese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2004, citing claims by abuse victims totaling about $77 million against assets of about $11 million.
Two other U.S. dioceses - Tucson, Ariz., and Portland, Ore. - have filed for bankruptcy because of sex abuse claims. A $22.2 million settlement was reached last summer in Tucson, while a federal judge in Portland ruled last month that trials involving as many as 100 plaintiffs could move forward.

1 – 200 of 429 Newer› Newest»You have no shame. Rabbi kolko is a very fine man with thousands of people to vouch for him. You are an anonymous blogger who doesn't have enough balls to reveal your identity. When you realized that your threat of lawsuit has no basis you switch to mailings with no point other than ba-shmutzing a man. SHAME ON YOU!
I think you are full of shit UOJ
uoj seems to me that you are a coward refusing to reveal your identity.so youll send out a mailing and in a week the whole thing will blow over.If theres no name to this nobody will believe you
uoj ,kolko has a lot more people that like and respect him than what you choose to believe--hes not a bad person---do some more homework or start revealing names--nobody will take you seriously without names---
sounds like you have something personal against kolko
what about kolkos family--think what youll be doing to them before you shmutz him up
Mr. Anonymous: Call Kolko. Ask him if the letter is accurate. I did.
This will not go away. If he doesn't stay away from children, the authorities will be called. Not only Kolko, but Margulies, who is a mandated reporter, will have to face the law.
We don't want money. We don't want revenge. We didn't want to send this letter. We asked Kolko to leave Torah Temima and assured him that we would stop the mailing. We asked Margulies to let Kolko go. These two amoral men refused.
We want our children to be safe when they are in school. Is this too much to ask?
i know alot of people who know koko and those who dislike him too--ive never heard any of these allegations
the authorities wont listen without names
somebody will have to come forward
Ask Kolko. I know several of his victims. When I spoke with him he told me that he was sick and asked me to meet with him. He told that he had dealt with several of his victims through a Bais Din and that he would meet with any other victims face to face.
I ask you, should this man be teaching our children? Sick or healthy, he should not be around our children. Do you disagree?
The authorities will be given names galore. The law protects the identity of the victims. The victims will each give their experience with Kolko.
" know alot of people who know koko and those who dislike him too--ive never heard any of these allegations"
Nonsense, he has been accused many many times. Ask yourself, who else in our community has had so many accusations of sexual abuse made against them? Kolko has been running from these charges for decades.
if something happened 25-30 years ago,i dont know--i dont know if this should go out about somebody who maybe 30 years ago did something
there are probably tens and tens of other michnchim out there who should be woried about alot more than kolko
do you know kolkko?
If someone molested boys thirty years ago, and by some miracle has restrained himself since then; should he be teaching boys? At a minimum, shouldn’t he stay away from children?
So let me understand something. one day ouj wakes up and says to himself i have nothing to do today i'm going to make up a big lie about a nice family man like koko?
I agree that there are other Mechanchim out there who need to be removed. They are strengthened by the fact that Kolko has gotten away with his malicious behavior for so many years. Once Kolko is removed, the second will be easier and the third more so. Once Margulies and his type see that there is a price to pay for risking the well being of our children, they will pay heed and not risk their operations for the sake of a few molesters.
Yes, I know Kolko.
Koklo is a much hated evil man that should have been dealt with years ago. Margolis in my opinion is worse than Kolko for leaving this sicko around kids knowing that kids are at risk.
"So let me understand something. one day ouj wakes up and says to himself i have nothing to do today i'm going to make up a big lie about a nice family man like koko?"
Doesn’t make much sense, does it? Perhaps the simple answer is that this is all true.
I don’t know UOJ, all I know is that Kolko molested many children. It is my belief that a man such as he, has no place in our yeshivas. And with all due respect to Margulies, anyone who shelters a repeat offender should not be running a yeshiva.
i dont know kolko well--i see him once in a while--my son is friends with one of his kids and a leeter like that will destroy them---maybe uoj should find a different way to deal with kolko--
I am truly sorry for all the pain this will cause. Both to any innocent members of Kolko’s family; I’m sure his wife doesn’t deserve any more pain; and to the many victims who will have their wounds opened when the get the letter.
But, he was offered the option of stepping down willingly. We told him that we didn’t care if he used his health as an excuse as long as he stayed away from our children. He refused. We called several times before finalizing the letter. He steadfastly refused.
Who is more deserving of protection, our children or Kolko and his unfortunate family?
Other ways were tried, they failed. The only route left within our community is this one and if this fails we have no choice but to cooperate with the secular media and the authorities. Margulies will not survive this last course of action. We hope that he is smart enough to realize this and that he will put an end to this immediately by letting Kolko go.
Anon. After reading this stuff, would you leave your children or grandchildren alone with this man?
yankel, true. kolko is a sicko, margulies is a soulless greedy pig who is killing our children so that he can keep his business growing.
a stupid businessman. had he fired kolko years ago he would have suffered a minor embarrassment, after all these years of protecting kolko, he might not survive this mess.
stupid man.
THIS LETTER GOES OUT AND YOU WILL HAVE YOUR PANTS SUED OFF. AND THAT'S WHY YOU WILL NEVER SEE THAT LETTER.
Mr. Ignorant Anonymous:
Dream on my friend. The letter is going out and nobody will be sued (except maybe for Kolko/Margulies.)
Your relentless defense of an obvious pedophile leads one to believe that perhaps you are the one that has a personal relationship with Kolko.
Give it up - the party is over.
---------------------------------
UOJ,
Hatzlacha! May you have much success in all your endeavors, enabling you to continue your selfless efforts on behalf of the community.
The letter is going out. We are hoping that Kolko and Margulies are stupid enough to sue. In fact, our legal counsel advised this course of action. The truth is an absolute defense. If they sue, Kolko, Margulies and Torah Temima are history. All of the evidence that is currently time barred comes into court.
Unfortunately, they will not sue. This leaves us with the court of public opinion and the child protection agencies.
Understand, this will not end until Kolko is kept away from our children. We will keep on escalating until the offenders (both the molesters and their protectors)understand that they can not put our children at risk.
Simcha Klor is a Porn addict who runs a Yeshiva. (Ruach Chaim).
How can UOJ get on the case?
Someone brought him up in another thread.
UOJ my kids are in Ruach Chaim and i'm hearing that he is a sick man.
He just fired the principle named Rabbi Sabo for no reason. He is stealing from the yeshiva while the teachers havent gotton paid in a year.....
HELP!!
hey anno?
What did u hear about this "Rosh Yeshiva/Gay porn addict"?
Ruach Chaim Parent,
Get your kid out of there.
Ruach Chaim Parent,
Wait one week. The situation in Flatbush will be forever changed.
If you have evidence, email it to UOJ.
i think margolies is going to assur the internet and the mail this week!

You are full of bull - I have personaly spoken to Rabbi Kolko and Rabbi Margulis and they both deny it totally so how can you say they both agree it is true? That just tells me that everything else you post is a bunch of baloney.
Two possibilities:
1. You are lying
2. Kolko & Margulies lied to you
We spoke with both of them. We had several open discussions. They were not happy and Margulies was kind of crude, but neither challenged the contents of the letter (which had been delivered to them prior to the conversations.) They both wanted this dealt with quietly and on their terms.
If you truly Mavakesh Haemes, do a little of your own research about Kolko.
May I suggest that you ask Margulies and Kolko if what I am saying is true? Ask them if they spoke with us on the phone. Remind them that we live in the electronic age and that their lies can be proven rather easily.
Finally, ask them if they intend to sue after several thousand letters are received in a few short days and if not, why?
I wish someone would drag Rabbi Y.Y. Sekula of YTV through the mud as well. He is not in the same boat as the Kolko allegations, but I am sure many have what to say about him.
I wonder if Kolko supporters on this blog actually researerched anything or if their support is just a knee-jerk reaction to what they might perceive as an attack on something they hold in esteem.
I do not know if they will dignify your unsigned letter with a response. Both these Rabbis have sterling reputations with thousands of talmidim and will not be effected by an unsigned letter from a troubled indvidual. While some of the greatest and most respected Rabbis will vouch for Rabbi kolko - Who will vouch for you?
"I hear that they are about to identify UOJ many of you will be very surprised to say the least? Wait till his family hears about it."
Does UOJ have anything to fear? Does he have anything to be embarrassed of? UOJ is using this forum to help save our community from implosion. The likes of Kolko and Margulies have a lot to fear. Namely, exposure.
This week a mass email will go out identifing the persons behind this blog. I will be providing an email address that you can send a blank email to to add your name the list. Trust me you will be shocked.

"I wonder if Kolko supporters on this blog actually researerched anything or if their support is just a knee-jerk reaction to what they might perceive as an attack on something they hold in esteem."
Or, are themselves graduates of Yeshiva Torah Temima and fear the humiliation of Margulies and Kolko being exposed for the men they are.
Guys, think about this. Is a little social discomfort too much of a price to pay for the safety and security of our children.
We will all be uncomfortable and embarrassed this coming week. Even you who are critical of the letter will be thankful when the facts become public and our children are safe from this molester.

The over one hundred victims of Kolko and the many who have told Margulies of Kolko’s proclivities will vouch for our bona fides.
Your blind trust and labeling of Kolko’s victims as “troubled individuals” are precisely the tactics used by Kolko and Margulies to quash the outcry of the many victims.
Think.
Do you know why Kolko had to leave MaNaVu? Are you aware of the Din Torah? Are you aware of the countless charges of sexual molestation that have been levied against Kolko over the past thirty years? Do people say these things about you?
Why?
Once the letter is sent, there will be a power in numbers (much greater than UOJ alone) demanding answers. This is why the letter itself is in actually so much more than just an outcry from a "troubled individual."
Keep going UOJ!

Should be interesting to see which "most respected rabbis" are willing to risk their reputation to protect a known child molester.
Someone asked a dumb question:
everyone talked about this 20 years ago. what triggered the rehash now?
Tam: Not dumb at all. This has been brewing for a while.
The Catholic Church scandals.
The recent assault upon Kolko by one of his victims caused many of his other victims to step forward.
UOJ’s blogging of the issue.
These are a few of the events that brought this to the fore.

Allow me to share some pratim with you. I was a student in a yeshiva Kolko worked in. He was not my Rebbi but managed to find excuses to be alone with me. He would grab me and hold me up against his erect penis until I was able to fight him off. I was 11 years old at the time. I left the yeshiva the next year and thankfully lost touch with Kolko.
In the years that followed I heard many similar stories about Kolko. I met other guys who had been molested by this man.
There are many men in prison who have done far less than Kolko.
The people sending out this letter are simply asking that he not work around their children. Is that so unreasonable?
Why are you defending Kolko?
why don't you name UOJ right here and now?
Which "Choshuve" Rabbonim have endorsed Kolko?
Gershon Tannenbaum? Milton "The Bundler" Balkany? Boruch Lanner? Ephraim Bryks?
and the beat goes on.
Hey Boog, you forgot a biggie. MARGULIES!
Morty and Aron Tendler?
They will all abandon him and bemoan the fact that he "fooled" them all these years. If Margulies sticks with him, he becomes a pariah as well. If tese "rabonim" had any backbone they would have outed Kolko years ago.
Danny Lapin?
"Rabbi" Rubashkin?
Rabbi Heinemann
"Rabbi" Israel (Sruly-Reparations Man) Singer?
"Rabbi" Jack (Black Hat Borsalino Man) Abramov?
anon,
maybe theyll have a yom iyun in madison square garden and blame the whole thing on lashon hara and the internet.
The "Rabbonim" cannot be bothered with this trifle matter at this time:
They're hard at work preparing their Shabbos Hagodol Droshos.
wrong boog. the purim lists come first.
Yes, haven't forgotten Lippy.
That's a given.
hey, where did prutim boy go?

WHY ISN'T KOLKO IN JAIL?!?

No need to work on the Purim Li$t for two reasons:
1. Their baalabatim have already prepared the envelopes,
2. These Rabbunim are already at "Ad D'LO Yodah levels.
anon,
If koko doesn't quit, he may very well end up where he belongs. Everyone is watching a case that may open up the statute of limitations on child molesters. If this happens, and koko is still teaching, he's going to jail.
the Kolko's erect penis story would sound great in Court.
don't you think???
81 posts and not one from ouj. Why?
Because he has used the name "letter supporter" as a way of garnering support for what he is doing. Propoganda typical of UOJ.
Hey Shlomo. Maybe they can make a copy for you.

It is obvious that most of the “doubt” on this blog emanates from one or two anonymous “intellectuals” who care less about the facts, and the clear and present danger posed by Kolko and his cohorts, then the protection of our children.
It is beyond comprehension that you actually believe the letter isn’t going to be mailed or that Kolko is not soiling his pants at this very moment. Could it be that your motives for dissent are fueled by envy at UOJ’s brazenness? Or, perhaps you fear that the very foundation of your own belief and trust is seriously a risk. Time will tell…
gross: well put
gross, are you calling prutim an intellectual? He doesn’t sound like a great source of original thought to me.
Kolko is now "At Risk".
Will we be zoche to see Kolko on the front page of the NY Daily News with his jacket over his face?
Soon. Tonight on CBS news, a group of victims confronted a priest who had molested them 25 years ago. The church suspended him (Margulies, learn from the church, you drek) but he has escaped prosecution because of the statute of limitations. The victims confronted him with the TV cameras and the news reporters present. They had bright yellow flyers warning the neighborhood about this animal. They put the flyers on the cars and homes in the neighborhood.
This guy molested 15 boys. Kolko has molested far far more than 15. Why are we less decent than the Catholic Church, one of the most backward organizations in the world?
So the character assassination begins.
Black Hat, are you claiming Kolko is innocent?

I can only hope that if this guy is guilty, he does the right thing, and wears his very best borsalino on the day of his arrest and verdict, as is the minhag of all True Jews when busted.
Black Hat,
I do know Kolko and I know that he is guilty.
I don't know UOJ's history with Margulies, but some hatred is warranted. Margulies certainly seems worthy.
Jo Cool,
Would you please cut and paste the post and send it to those sites. Thanks.
Tendler is just as bad
so was hitler. but, this post is about kolko and margolies.
Unorthodox jew!
In the begining I said to myself be careful, maybe what you are saying is true.
Why would you care about Rabbi Margoulis etc.
But after reading your old posts, it seems like you are on a mission to bad mouth people, to make frum people look bad.
For example, what was that, that you wrote that, Rabbi Lipa Margolis urinated on the floor of an airplane while smoking- way to much lies.
Or that you are allways keneged whatever the halacha may be.
One thing I can say. And I feel bad to say it, that if you are being motzai shem rah�that is what you are saying is not true, may the rbsha punish you for being mtzar anothe yid, and may you be sued for slander and liabel, that you won't have another happy day of your life.
black hat, why ar eyou defending a child molester?
Observer, have you considered that despite UOJ's sometimes colorful depictions, Kolko is in fact a child molester. Have you considered that you are cursing people who were hurt by this monster?
Kolko is a serial child molester. Nothing can change that fact.
This is not Motzei Shem Rah nor is Lashon Harah. Kolko is a Rodeph who is a danger to our children. He has a Chazaka as a molester and we are going to get him away from our children.
Observer, you owe a lot of people an apology.
Black Hat,
Yes.
I would not be supporting the letter if I were not certain without a shadow of any doubt that Kolko is guilty.
Black Hat,
You don't know Kolko, but believe him innocent until his victims announce their names and telephone numbers. The law says we may remain anonymous.
I know Kolko and am certain of his guilt because of what he did to me.
You suspect that we may be people who don't like Kolko and are therefore spending our time and money going after him.
You have a right to independently investigate the issue and come to your own conclusion. You should do just that before you cast aspersions.
Suggestion: When you hear that his name was cleared, ask for details. When you hear that the allegations were proved false, ask for details. And think about whether you know of any other Rebbi who has been repeatedly accused of child molestation for over thirty years.
Letter Writer and friends,
I just came home and see the board full of accusations about our motives.
Real simple:
I HATE PHONY F***** UP JEWS THAT FORNICATE ALL OVER YIDDISHKEIT.
MARGULIES HAS AS MUCH RIGHT TO RUN A YESHIVAS AS AL CAPONE WOULD. HE SHIT ALL OVER ALL OF US BY SAYING F*** YOU, I'M KEEPING A MOLESTER IN MY SCHOOL IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT KISS MY ASS.
GOOD ENOUGH REASON TO HATE SOMEONE!???
BLACK HAT,
I stand by everything I said about R' Elchonon Wasserman. He could have saved thousands but forced them to die a meesa m'shuna because they might wind up in YU.
Gross,
I thought we got rid of the Lakewood lawyer, Shlomo.
Hey Liewayer, you will be made a fool of, I promise.
The letter is only a first step of many...we'll see how much punishment these momzeirim can take.
In the end they'll beg us to stop. Wait & see.
I am going to repeat myself. My only motive for this blog is to clean up as much scum as I can from Yiddishkeit. I know that I never lied about anything, and while people may disagree with my opinions, I have researched every topic I voiced an opinion about.
Like it or not I'm here to stay and will keep voicing my opinion until the Rebbe comes back as GOD/MOSHIACH!
Dude, I thought I knew something about people, but it seems that I may understand less than I had thoughht I did.
I don't get you.
I don't get you at all.
My overall impression of you is quite negative though I can't decide whether that negativity is just childishness, naivite and raw stupidity or a thick, slow moving deep river of black evil sewage.
My hope is that you're simply childish, credulous and ridiculous - but right. That's my hope.
It seems far more likely to me though that - whether you're simply an idiot unsimply evil - you're not right and are causing enormous distress and evil to a man innocent of wrongdoing.
If that's the case and you're...
childish and idiotic - I hope you find some way to make it back to him (though I doubt you could)
evil - I hope there's a judge somewhere who can repay you your kindness.
But like I said, my preference is for your being accurate. That way no remedial justioce would be required. But I HIGHLY doubt this to be the case. You seem to be a sickly creature...
mnuez
People like "mnuez" and "black hat" are reasons many victims of molestation do not come forward.
The court of law allows for accusers to remain anonymous but the court of "black hat" needs names and phone numbers!
Clearly you don't comprehend the gravity of the situation. This is retzichah! Where there's smoke, there's fire. One or two accusations, I can understand your hesitancy - but many, many stories spanning decades and we're onto something.
Good Luck Unortho and May God Avenge their Blood!
ALL THIS IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE.
YOU GUYS WILL ALL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE MOTZIE SHEM RA THAT YOU ARE CAUSING.
WHAT KIND OF SICK PEOPLE WOULD MAKE UP A STORY LIKE THIS.
UOJ PROBABLY ONCE HAD A RUN IN WITH RABBI KOLKO AND FIGURED THIS WOULD BE A WAY TO GET HIM BACK.
WHAT A SICK SCHEME.
SICK, SICK , SICK.
RABBI KOLKO IS A HARDWORKING DEVOTED MAN, WITH THOUSANDS OF TALMIDIM WHO LOOK UP TO HIM AND ADMIRE HIM.
HE IS AN ASKAN AND HAS DONE UNBELIEVABLE THINGS TO HELP ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE.
HE IS SQEAUKY CLEAN AND THIS IS ALL A FARCE AND IS SHAMEFUL.
WHAT A JOKE.
YOU COULDN'T HAVE PICKED A MORE UPSTANDING GUY TO MAKE UP A STORY ABOUT.
Ocean Parkway,
Are you at 555 Ocean Parkway, by any chance?
I posted before, and I noticed someone copied a quote from it BUT YET UOJ DELETED MY COMMENT.
I wonder why??
Is this blog for everyone to voice their opinon?
Does UOJ only what bad about people?
I do not know rabbis margolis or kulko, but stop with accusitions.
If you think they did it, report it and that's it, noone has to ruin someones life for no reason.
UOJ on a diffrent post rants just about Rabbi margolis.
Ocean Parkway:
What do you base your assertions on?
Were you present when Kolko molested camper after camper in Camp Agudah?
Were you present when Kolko molested yeshiva boys in Yeshiva Karlin Stolin?
Were you present when Kolko used Camp MaNaVu as his perverse playground?
Were you present when Margulies threatened the families of victims to be quiet or they would be ostracized?
Were you present last week when Kolko asked that this letter not be sent because he was ill and has stopped molesting children.
Were you present last week when Margulies stated clearly that he believes Kolko is no longer a threat?
Presumably not. So why are you accusing us of ruining an innocents life? Kolko is a vile person who has harmed countless children with his sexual perversion.
I understand that these facts are shocking to someone who simply knows Kolko as a Rebbi or as a neighbor and was not molested by him.
You should understand that people like Kolko must be presentable, charming at times, authoritative at times and even repentant at times. If he were openly repulsive, no one would go near him. This is the nature of molesters.
So, please hold back on your diatribe, do a little asking around about Kolko’s history of molesting children and come to your own conclusion.
This many accusations over a span of so many years? All false?
"HE IS SQEAUKY"
another tt boy
Anon,
I did not delete your comments unless you spelled out the F bomb.
Please repost.
Anon,
Here's the bottom line.
EVERY SINGLE WORD ABOUT KOLKO/MARGULIES IS UNDISPUTED FACTS, TO THE PEOPLE IN THE KNOW!
NOSSON SHERMAN QUIT HIS JOB AT TT BECAUSE HE KNEW MARGULIES IS A MONSTER.
YOU CAN'T HAVE CRIMINALS REPRESENTING THEMSELVES AS RABBIS AND SCHOOL PRINCIPALS.
HAVE RESPECT FOR JUDAISM; INSIST THAT ONLY THE MOST ETHICAL AND SOUND INDIVIDUALS SHOULD BE TEACHING OUR KIDS AND RUNNING OUR SCHOOLS!
UOJ?
simcha klor, next?
Was Sherman in Stolin at the same time as Kolko?
E-mail the info on Klor. I do not know this guy.
I will do my homework on him.
For now, until the mailing goes out, I'm focused on the two scumbags on Ocean Parkway.
ou, why isnt kolko's name on the awareness center?
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I WENT TO 555 OCEAN PARKWAY TODAY TO FIND OUT WHAT IS DOING.
AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON. I WAS IN MA NA VU, I WAS IN AGUDAH, AND I WAS IN SILVER LAKE AS WELL WITH RABBI KOLKO.
AS FOR RABBI MARGULIES, DO YOU THINK HE WOULD PUT HIS WHOLE INSTITUTION ON THE LINE - ONE THAT HE HAS INVESTED HIS WHOLE LIFE INTO - IF HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A MORSEL OF TRUTH TO THIS? YOU GOTTA BE CRAZY.
THIS CAMPAIGN IS BEING RUN BY PEOPLE WHO, FOR WHATEVER REASON, ARE OUT TO GET BACK AT RABBI KOLKO. MAYBE THEY DIDN'T LIKE HIM WHEN THEY WERE IN TORAH TEMIMAH OR ELSEWHERE. WHO KNOWS.
SANDHOUSE TRIED THIS 25 YEARS AGO. HE AND HIS CRONIES ARE BACK.
BUT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IT IS A LIE.
SPEAK TO ANYONE WHO HAS WORKED WITH RABBI KOLKO OR FOR HIM. THEY'LL TELL YOU HE IS THE MOST HONEST, EHRLICHE, STRAIGHTFORWARD PERSON YOU'LL EVER MEET.
HE'S HARDWORKING, DEVOTED, AND TO MAKE UP SUCH A LIBEL IS ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL.
AND NO, I USE THE BLOGGER NAME OCEAN PARKWAY BEC. I USED TO LIVE NEAR OCEAN PARKWAY.
I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE HANHALA IN TORAH TEMIMAH, AND EVERYONE KNOWS YOU GUYS ARE NUTS.
THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO WILL STAND BY RABBI KOLKO AND ATTEST TO HIS OUTSTANDING CHARACHTER FOR A FEW IDIOTS TO TRY AND SHMEAR HIS NAME ON BLGS OR THROUGH A LETTER-WRITING CAMPAIGN.
GIVE IT UP.
UNORTHODOX JEW, WE KNOW WHO YOU'RE ASSOCIATED WITH, AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE OUT TO GET RABBI KOLKO AND RABBI MARGULIES.
WE HAVE FORMED A COMMITTEE TO FIGHT YOU GUYS AND YOU GUYS ARE GOING DOWN.
IF THEY ARE "SCUMBAGS" WHAT ARE YOU - A GUY WHO SETS UP A BLOG TO TEAR DOWN PEOPLE? TO TEAR DOWN DEVOTED COMMUNITY ASKANIM?
WHAT ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
You are more than just unorthodox.
You are absolutely retarded.
And youa re doomed to fail.
After all, the whole reason, you are who you are is because you failed in the yeshiva system and now you are letting it all out.
Give it up brother.
I say lets see what UOJ is really made of!
Keep on going!
to Ocean Parkway: if he's lying he will in fact get his tuchas whipped, but if not...and i've heard a first hand story of a ma-na-vu fiasco...then let him rot.
stop defending him u jerk
No one is saying that Margulies is an easy guy to work for.
But what does that have to do with teh price of tea in China.
The guy runs an unbeleivable school, one f the biggest around - and R JKolko is a big part of that and has been successful at that.
You could try to rip him down - or as Matisyahu says, "Chop em down" but he is too well know as a great guy -
You guys are fighting the wrong man - both bec. he is innocent and bec. there are thousands of parents, students, friends, rabbonim, roshei yeshiva, baale batim, politicians - everyone knows Rabbi Kolko is a good man!
Stop with the Motzie Shem ra!
stop it already.
UOJ, just go to the MEDIA.
let them expose this pig for you.
I hope you don't mind if I cut and paste your posts on other sites because if you do it's too late.
F-U Loser
Ocean ,
So concerned with protecting the innocent?Whats with the name dropping on your part asshole!!??
just ignore this shmuck.
UOJ keep on rolling!
we are anticipating action very soon.
WCBS880 headlines in a few days?
return to sender
what drives u?
If kolko is innocent, ocean parkway, then for sure we can expect all of these choshuve askanim and rabbonim to come out publicly in his defense once the letters have been mailed.
Let's see if that happens.
Which self-respecting person - let alone community - will give this pathetic, miserable, attention seeking, UOJ, the time of day?
Oh, and he speaks now so passionatley about his concern for Klal Yisroel!! Oh, the tears.
After all these years I got it. I've always wondered who was the guy writing on the walls of the bathrooms. IT'S UOJ!!
You gotta love these empty refutations...
If the dissenters are becoming, shall we say, desperate, kal v'chomer our friends at TT...
"I've always wondered who was the guy writing on the walls of the bathrooms. IT'S UOJ!!"
Brilliant thought! (not)
Roses are red
Violets are bluish
UOJ will drown
In the sea of his own sewage
Thanks, shteeble hopper.
"After all these years I got it. I've always wondered who was the guy writing on the walls of the bathrooms. IT'S UOJ!!"
We aren't all so smart. Please explain what you mean with this.
Black,
Are you serious???Comparing a guy like kolko to moshe rabeinu,they dont belong in the same sentence!
You must have fallen on your black hatted head!
All of this back and forth, while entertaining, is just that entertainment.
The litmus test will be after the mailing hits the public. Will the molested come forth? Will the defenders of kolko make their public appearance and defend this guy?
Will DA Hynes be called in?
Will the guy from the Regency who tried to beat the shit out of kolko two years ago come forward with his story?
Many, many questions...
Answers at 11.
Do you know where your children are?
Will Kolko be the first Korban of the new sex offender legislation being pushed by Pataki, Bruno, and Silver in the NYS Legislature?
There was a man named Kolko
He loved little boys
He drove them to Yeshiva and gave them little toys
One day while he was learning he had a good idea
He’ll give them candy too and they’ll take off their underwear!
ziggy;
Don't give up your day job, if you have one. Leave the poetry to robert frost.
Even though he's been dead for over 44 years, he can still write better than you can.
and one more thing Kolko is a fraud and is not deserving of the title rabbi.He must be DEfrocked.
Ocean Parkway:
Why do you feel a need to name Kolko’s victims? Do you consider that to be decent behavior?
You seem to be having a hard time accepting what we are saying. Why not speak with the fellow you named. Ask him to tell you all about Kolko. Then, you decide whether you believe him, or Kolko.
This is assuming you are interested in discovering the truth.
Dissenters:
Very little research will show you the validity of our accusations. If you are at all interested in discovering who Kolko really is, do your homework. You will be shocked.
letter supporter;
Your efforts at dialogue with these chevra are a brocho le'vatola. save your breath. Sick is as Sick does.
get the mailing out and then let's see what happens.
I love that black hatted brain has become and advocate of kolko's
When just a while back
"Letter Supporter said Black Hat, are you claiming Kolko is innocent?
black hatted brain said...
I have no idea. I don't even know who he is."
Black,why dont you just pull that hat of yours right back over your eyes with the rest of kolkos supporters
tough for blackie to put that hat over his eyes when he's sittin on 'em.
Letter Supporter,
I also noticed that self righteous ass ocean is so concerned with "TEARING DOWN DEVOTED COMMUNITY ASKANIM"
Yet he has no problems mentioning innocent’s names on an explosive thread!!
TYPICAL!!!
Boog,
Unfortunately thats the prob with most of them
It was said that Frost, ironically, was not gung-ho about taking the "road less travelled." Therefore, Frost and I poeticize in different genres. I'm an out-of-the-box type. So:
Boog is short for Booger
He tries to be over the top
He wishes he was the author of this blog
but sadly, he "snot."
wtf,
Good point!
Nu. So when exactly will the letter be mailed. Do you need a collection to defray the postage costs.
Bmumo:
What drives us is the safety and security of our children. What drives you to use such an accusatory name? The accusers are not the molesters.
Would you agree that there is no issue of Mesira when one is dealing with a Rodeph? Would you agree that a child molester is a Rodeph?
If we agree on the above, than all that remains to be determined is the veracity of the accusation.
Do the research and come to your own conclusion.
nice try, ziggy. At least there are no spelling mistakes. For a Brooklyn boychik to use the word "poeticize" is very dangerous. You might be mistaken for a Y.U. shmad.
Frost is still better dead, than you alive.
Is my understanding correct that there have been no accusations/rumors of molestation within the past 20 years. If so, why is RK your first target. Should it not be a more current "clear and present danger" ?
Anon,
A tiger cant change its stripes
Black,
Did you or did you not say "I have no idea. I don't even know who he is."
I rest my case!
Letter Supporter:
And how exactly does one go about "researching" the accusations.
Black Hat, are you accusing Elyashiv of molesting children? If not, why bring him up here?
“Is my understanding correct that there have been no accusations/rumors of molestation within the past 20 years. If so, why is RK your first target. Should it not be a more current "clear and present danger" ?”
Is it your contention that Kolko should be left alone because you only know of accusations from twenty years ago?
If the accusations of twenty years ago are legitimate, do you believe that Kolko should be working around children?
If someone entertains the thought of pedophilia they should be kept away from children.Would you lock a recovering alchoholic in a liquor store???
Why debate whether or not the letter will be sent? Just wait and find out...
TT Parent:
Speak with former campers of Camp Agudah who were there while Kolko was. Same for students of Yeshiva Karlin Stolin and former campers of MaNaVu. They, unlike the Torah Temima people, will speak with you.
After you’re satisfied that Kolko is in fact guilty, call Margulies and discuss your findings with him. Brace yourself for a very strange and disturbing conversation.
Don't know what the big deal is about UOJ seems like your average SHOCKJOCK it's pathetic. I feel bad for his victims even though this won't have any long term effects. I estimate that 80% of comments are by UOJ using different screen names. Whoever said that he suffers from a multiple personality disorder (dissociative identity disorder) and is a psychopath.
I just got an email from
revealsheigetz@gmail.com and even though he will not give me the name YET he sent some very revealing stuff.
Although he probaly has a dissociative identity disorder I think his main problem his ADD.
why hasnt the awareness center done anything with kolko yet?
Black Hatted:
You admit to not knowing Kolko, yet you staunchly defend him. It is understandable that you don't want to believe it - who does?
You don't have much of an argument in the face of people coming forward with accusations. The very nature of a blog allows discussion of certain otherwise-closed topics, without fear of retribution. There is a need for this. Sure, a blog can be (and sometimes is) abused and people can be smeared with guerilla-style attacks. But more often than not (way more often) blogs are an effective tool used in “smoking out bad guys.”
You seem upset, but I think you are also naive when it comes to this matter. There are many Kolkos out there in the yeshiva/camp world, and there are many, many stories that will be forever untold.
I understand and I agree this is all pretty hard to swallow. But the truth will hopefully prevail and someone like UOJ, with his anonymity protected, (and for good reasons, we know who he’s up against) will be allowed to continue his mission without fear of retribution. UOJ may have a personal vendetta against Kolko and TT and he may be “extra-eager” to pursue this, but he is not making this up.
If you knew any victims of sexual abuse you might think a bit differently. Wait and see how this plays out before betting your entire hand on Kolko.
Hey Shrink - maybe you can do a complete profile sketch on OJU. Do you think he is a wife beater?
Not a bad idea - there is so much to analyze btwn OUJ GROSS LETTER SUPPORTER ETC. Go for it shrink.
Anon:
Quit having a conversation with yourself.
UOJ, Letter supporter,
Did you press charges against this twisted f**k?
I have no "personal" vendetta against Margulies and Kolko, my vendetta is against the "system" that permits gangsters & molesters to operate yeshivas. How can we expect the next generation of children to become b'nei Torah?
When they grow up and realize that a mafioso was hiding a molester in his house of Torah, what will they do?
Did anyone have a good talk with the mainstream TT talmidim of lets say ten years ago? Do you know the hate they have for Margulies?
Does anyone know that R' Shustal tried to leave TT and was blackballed everywhere by Margulies to make sure his yeshiva did not get off the ground?
Does anyone know the theft by Margulies from the government lunch programs?
Does anyone know that he ran Bingo parlors out of the bais medrash for senior citizens and got money from the government for running a senior citizens recreation center?
Does anyone know that for the first ten years or so he used the name Tora V'daas and stole millions of dollars earmarked for Torah V'daas?
Does anyone know Margulies worked for Tora V'daas in the tuition office, stole their list of benefactors and started his own Tora V'daas against warning after warning by R' Yaakov Kaminetzky?
Does anyone know that Margulies was FORCED by bais din to change the name and give back the money he stole, but Never gave back the money???
Does anyone know that over 100 kids were molested by Kolko in TT, and were blackmailed into NOT going to the police?
Does anyone know that Nosson Sherman quit his job as principal of TT, over this issue?
DOES ANYONE CARE?????????
Do we continue to let an old sick gangster hide a molester under his roof???
You make the decisions for yourself.
I will make him and his ilk suffer every day of their lives not knowing when I will strike out at them.
Gangsters & sickos BEWARE the internet is the way to get to you because the conventional ways don't work.
God knows I tried.!
I didn't mean "personal" as in regarding your personal life or having a personal relationship with them. I meant that even if there are reasons (and seemingly there are) for going after them with extra gusto, that doesn't take away from the fact that this is true.
Like I said before, their party is over.
Could you post some pictures, it would make things much more interesting.
There are no gedolim as long as they look the other way when there are gangsters running yeshivas.
I have opinion one way or the other but I get the feeling this is more about Margolis than Kolko.
A daily lesson from the Chofetz Chaim: A Daily Companion/Mesorah Publications:
SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM —
Previously, the Chofetz Chaim explained the true source of this ongoing exile. He stated that the sins of loshon hora and sinas chinam (baseless hatred) of past generations would not cause Hashem (G-d) to withhold His Presence from us. It is our own sins that keep Hashem from drawing near to us, despite our constant prayers.
The Chofetz Chaim says that if we analyze our sins, there is only one that can be so powerful as to cause Hashem not to redeem His beloved children — the sin of loshon hora. It is simple logic. If loshon hora, and the sinas chinam which it caused, had the negative spiritual power to destroy the Beis HaMikdash, then certainly it has the power to prevent the rebuilding of the Beis HaMikdash.
The Chofetz Chaim brings many sources to support this point. In Parashas Shemos, the Torah relates the suffering of the Jews in Egypt. The Torah states that Moshe, who had grown up in Pharaoh’s palace, went out among his people and shared their pain and suffering. In his wanderings among the Jews, he encountered the notorious pair, Dasan and Aviram who informed on him after he killed an Egyptian who was attacking a Jew. Moshe said, “Now the matter is known” (Shemos 2:15). The Midrash interprets this to mean, “Now I understand why the Jewish people are in this terrible exile. It is because they speak loshon hora.”
The Chofetz Chaim also cites the episode of the Spies who were sent to scout out the Land of Israel in preparation for the Jews’ conquest of it. Their negative report was loshon hora against Hashem’s precious Holy Land. The Jews wept over this report on the night of Tishah B’Av (the ninth of Av), and it was this sin that ultimately led to the destruction of the first Beis HaMikdash (Holy Temple). Hashem declared, “You wept in vain. I will establish this night as a night of weeping for all generations.”
The Chofetz Chaim provides further proof. The Torah states “Cursed is he who attacks his friend secretly” (Devarim 27:24). As Rashi explains, this is a reference to loshon hora. A person who speaks loshon hora is cursed. The Talmud (Arachin 15b) goes further, comparing loshon hora to a denial of G-d.
The Chofetz Chaim then offers his final point. The Midrash (Devarim Rabbah 6,14) states, “Hashem says, In this world, because there is loshon hora among you, I withdrew My Presence from among you.” Like a letter directly from Hashem – clear and unambiguous.
The message of this statement is incredible. The Beis HaMikdash has not been rebuilt, the Shechinah (Divine Presence) is not in our midst, because of the forbidden speech which we utter.
TWO
ok, its not quite yet TWO, but im tired of waiting till midnight.
so according to your interpertation, if all of us were molesters, as long as we didnt say loshon hara, the beis hamikdash would be rebuilt?
Longest 48 hours imaginable. Where is Jack Bauer when you need him?
Loshon Hora Man:
Your point? Are you suggesting that the saintly Chofetz Chaim would allow a pervert to molest the children in his community? Are you suggesting that the saintly Chofetz Chaim would sit quietly while the local yeshiva hired this molester. Are you suggesting that the saintly Chofetz Chaim would allow a molester to spend his life around children?
He would shout at the top of his lungs. Save the children! Keep this monster away from our children!
Read the whole sefer. Don’t distort the teachings of this great man.
So, what is your point?
kolko is a good man---he will come out of this clean----while you ouj will look like a total joke
uoj i learn in lakewood and it sounds like you are bitter about frumkeit all-together---lakewood knows about your blog and basically nobody is going for it
UOJ,
Only on your blog could a letter attacking a community's reaction to accusations of child molestation turn into a mob's demand for you to clarify your stand on Gedolim.
I would personally like you to clarify your stand on the existence of the Tooth Fairy BEFORE we discuss the issue of child molesting. Only then will I decide if this issue is something worth considering.
David: Good point and well put.
But, I disagree on one point.
These guys would crawl out from under their rocks no matter which site posted the letter.
Lakewood Learner:
Has the Vaad started condoning child molesting by Rabeim?
UOJ may be bitter, but Kolko and Margolies are engaging in something that any civilized society deems intolerable.
Doesn't this put a damper on your air of superiority over the Goyim? They expose and expel their molesters. You defend ours.
Sounds like UOJ has something to be bitter about after all.
