Topic Wiki

I created an account to say this

I am a survivor of abuse

I tried to type up a longer, more detailed post but it got too hard. The bottom line is the following

There's no such thing as universal feelings, reactions, desires, needs that all victims share. Each one is an individual who suffered alone and carries the unique scars that stay with them and each one will react to future situations in life in their own way.

Therefore, there is no single response to abuse that will leave all victims feeling safe, secure, validated, supported, closure and everything else all the well meaning people here want to give them.

However, I think there is a single response that would leave all victims feeling further pain and trauma and that is "It can't be."

I didn't follow the story closely. The 20 alleged victims have they come out publicly by now or all are anonymous?

Anyone wanna define this ? In what way was he too powerful ? There are plenty of far more powerful people in the media, politicians, askunim, etc..
Assuming not going along with the radical frum agenda,the Eihdah put out a Kol kora against him in the summer

There are plenty who don’t follow the agenda. What was the kol kora about ? (Some people wear a kol kora like a badge of honor. Helps business too)

What was the Kol Koreh about? These allegations?

Here's a recording of Yonasan Schwartz talking about this, assuming he's not lying (why would he?) then I hope he'll release what he has and perhaps clear an innocent person's name. I don't know if I'm hoping that he's saying the truth or that he's lying, at this point I'm not sure which version would be better :'(

P.S. Sorry to all the non Yiddish speakers
Who’s Yonasan Schwartz?

I do believe that the books were sincere and their value is not diminished regardless of whether the allegations are true.

Can we wikify all the, dare I say, conspiracy theories on both sides?

I'm feeling a little dizzy...

If he used the books to get access to his victims...does that change anything?

Only if it somehow affected the content. If it was only the publicity from them then I don't see why it would affect the content.

Haven't been following and this story is quite sad, but in general if there's 1 or 2 accusers about something like this, I think it's fair to have a healthy amount of skepticism and allowing that it may be a he-said vs she-said situation.

But when there are dozens of non-related accusers coming forward and their stories are checked out and are consistent? Are we really going to go with, they're probably all in this to ruin the life of XYZ because he's too popular or influential?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

*דברים שאמר רבינו מרן הגרי"ג אדלשטיין שליט"א על הסיפור הטראגי •*


הבא על אשת איש יש לו חלק לעולם הבא. המלבין פני חבירו ברבים אין לו חלק לעולם הבא. גם אם עפ"י דין יש "למיחש מיבעי", אין בכך שום היתר ורמז להיתר לשפוך דם ולרצוח יהודי. פשיטא שזה נקרא שרצחו אותו ופשיטא שאין לרוצח חלק לעולם הבא. ברור לגמרי שהלחץ הגדול שלחצו אותו הביא אותו לידי חולי הנפש והרג את עצמו באונס. זה נקרא רציחה.
