As we head into Shabbos, there will be conversations in our communities, in Shul’s.
Some will choose to focus on this monster #NechamyaWeberman .
But the focus must remain where it belongs — on the courageous survivor(s) and the pain they were forced to carry for years.
Let’s be very clear about what happened this week in court.
After 15 years of denial, after years of portraying himself as the victim and accusing others of lying, the truth finally came out.
In a courtroom — under oath — the monster admitted what so many already knew, and what victims were forced to live with in silence.
And yet, for years, he was defended.
Protected.
Excused.
Not in the name of justice — but in the name of image, power, and false piety.
Tell the leaders and to your friends and family that are still in denial:
To you the community leaders and or friends and family who chose silence or defense instead of protecting children:
This moment belongs to the victims, not to you.
Do not confuse sympathy for accountability.
Do not blur the line between a predator and the people he harmed.
They are not the same.
He didn’t speak because he suddenly found truth — he spoke because the truth finally cornered him.
And let’s be clear:
No judge is above God.
And God cannot be fooled.
This week, justice spoke — not just in a courtroom, but for every child who deserves safety, dignity, and protection.
May this be a turning point.
May we finally choose the side of the innocent.
And may no child ever again be sacrificed for reputation or fear.
Shabbat Shalom

Imagine a world where the moment a child came forward about abuse, every leader, every rabbi, every influential figure said:
“We believe you. We stand with you. We will fight for you.”
Imagine that.

Let’s be completely honest here:
If this sentence — originally 103 years — gets cut to under 20 years, allowing immediate release, the message to every survivor is:
“Your trauma is negotiable.”
And the message to every abuser watching is:
“If you have enough pressure behind you, justice can be rewritten.”
You know the risk.
You know the danger.
You know this case’s history.
You know how survivors were treated.
This isn’t just a legal decision —
it is a moral decision,
a community safety decision,
and a precedent that will echo for generations.
You have an obligation to the victims.
To public safety.
To every parent in Brooklyn.
To everyone who expects the justice system to protect the vulnerable — not reward the powerful.
A 103-year sentence was given for a reason.
Reducing it below 20 years contradicts every principle of justice.
This moment belongs to you, DA Gonzalez.
Choose the side that protects children — not influence.

It’s shocking to see @OrinYaniv — who once reported on this case — now publicly backing a plan to reduce the sentence of a man convicted of horrific abuse.
Orin said the goal is for this individual “not to die in prison.”
Let’s be clear:
Survivors will live the rest of their lives carrying the physical and emotional damage of what happened to them as children.
They don’t get to walk away. They don’t get “sentence reduction.”
They don’t get a second chance at safety.
The community claims he “helped over 200 children.”
But that position of access and trust was exactly how he was able to harm others, while being shielded as the “good guy.”
To @BrooklynDA @DA_EricGonzalez —
If you reduce this 105-year sentence, the message to every abuser watching is simple:
“With power, money, and connections, you can hurt children and still get protected.”
That is not justice.
That is not safety.
That is not accountability.
This isn’t just about one case — it’s about the signal you send to an entire community, including vulnerable children who deserve protection.
A man convicted of these crimes remains a risk to those around him.
Victims remain affected for life.
Survivors are watching.
Children are watching.
The public is watching.
@OrinYaniv — your voice carries weight.
Use it to protect survivors, not to minimize the lifelong impact of their trauma.
@BrooklynDA — the responsibility is on you.
Do not let political pressure redefine justice

Amazing words from Avidan Beit Yaakov, the father of the soldier Capt. Roy Beit Yaakov, who was killed this week. For me, the second half especially spoke to me.
"Those soldiers in the tank are Tzaddikim and they did the best that they could. And yet things go wrong because this is war.
Understand this:
I don't have a drop of a complaint against them. I hug them. Their commanders need to hug them, so that they continue to fight.
After the war, and not until the end of the war, they are welcome to come here and visit. Not because we want to ask them hard questions; they're welcome to come here and we will hug them.
Roy - we always called him Roy HaMatok [the sweet] or Roykoosh. He was truly very sweet. He wouldn't talk a lot, but he would do a lot. He had amazing hands. He was very very precise and professional with everything he did.
I am also so hurt over his soldiers that were killed and injured there. That doesn't hurt any less.
The war is not cursed.
Our enemy is cursed.
Also, the Shabbat when the war broke out [commonly referred to as The Black Shabbat] - it was not Black.
Our enemy is Black.
It did not damage the purity of Shabbat.
This war - as hard as it is - as much as it hurts - reveals the strengths of the Nation of Israel. It shows that the People of Israel desire life. It shows that Israel has incredible people in its midst.
And therefore it [the war] is not cursed.
Roy was not in the middle of something cursed.
And so too all the other soldiers who are fighting right now; who have been lost along the way."
In an ironic twist of fortune, @ClaudineGayDEI decides to plagiarize her resignation letter.
Who could've seen that coming.
