Strong

It takes an incredibly strong individual to be able to work through such a traumatic life experience. It is one of the worst things that can happen to a person and for you not only keep it from debilitating you, but to prosper despite it…it’s awe-inspiring. Good for you for speaking out. Good for you for unloading what must have felt like a shameful secret…when it isn’t for YOU. The shame falls on your abuser. G-d should bless you with continued success. Kol Hakovod !

It is a nice thing to have an organization that battles community problems such as abuse. However it needs transparency. We already have so much authority 1- Torah – By choosing to live as a religious Jew – 2- Local Rabbonim – By choosing to live in this community 3- Local Police By choosing to live in a city 4- Federal authority By choosing to live in this country. 5…… JCW is now also in authority. It is fair to know exactly WHO is in the board. I think they would be much more successful if everyone knew who is… Read more »

#11…..
pathetic comment. The ability to take into account other people’s pain (may nobody ever have) is not always accessible. Try to imagine someone’s life being ruined by abuse, and then how they live their entire lives thinking about how their body was G-d forbid violated……wait, lets change that and imagine that it was PREVENTED .
got the point??

There needs 2 b a trial 1st b4 he puts som1 on the site im Sorry & thats y he wont just work with the police, u need serious evidence & the reason he wont just use the police is bec the police r not going 2 stand 4 a website that som1 wasnt convicted, bec until convicted there is no proof, & he wants 2 put ppl up even without a trial & that police will say that is defamation. So the thing is the police wouldnt b 4 his website & that is y he isnt using the… Read more »

ACCOUNTABILITY
July 25, 2014 6:29 am

All pro this redone initiative, after the last one failed miserably, following its irresponsible and non transparent modus operandi. Here is to the hope that this will be successfully run, with a REAL team of professionals and a board of advisers who actually have a say in the running of the website and group. I am a little concerned that the actual board of those deciding who is/is not to be accused is not disclosed – I hope that there will be some accountability on the site. There were tragic mistakes made on the last one – let us hope… Read more »

Excellent letter
July 25, 2014 1:11 am

Eli is no victim nor survivor, he is an initiator who thrives without realizing he is perceived as a strong and courageous individual. You are amazing! and the forth page of your letter demonstrates outstanding maturity and extraordinary determination to transcend beyond the long and painfull challenges endured during your childhood. I commend you and may others learn from your wisdom and actions.

The needy should make their own fundraising event online. Meyer deserves every penny he gets for making such a difference!

To number #11

These are the needy! They are broken souls who need support. May you never know such pain

Meyer, look what you have created for your people

This is marvelous, marvelous, more people must speak up now, and please please Gd, graphology must be used when anyone interviews for a job with children.

Graphology is the only way a persons personality can be seen, please eople, take note. Go to a graphologist before hiring a teacher, babysitter, anyone you hire. Don’t risk your kids lives, look atthe handwriting.
