The Awareness Center is a non-profit, certified
501 (c) (3) organization. Our goals include reaching out to Jewish
survivors of sexual violence, parents of sexually abused children, family
members of alleged and convicted sex offenders, rabbis, cantors and other
community leaders. We also serve as a clearinghouse of information, and offer
advocacy for those in need and educational seminars.
Please note: The Awareness Center looks at Clergy Abuse and
Mass Molestation Cases as a Jewish Issue, not a denominational issue. We
need to tackle these issues together as a people.
Opening up darkened spaces is a scary, saddening task,
but it is a sacred one as well. For as we have been taught by our learned
rabbis of the Sanhedrin, "anyone who saves one soul of Israel, it is said
about him that he/she has saved a whole world" (Sanhedrin 37/a). Let
us be "or La-Goyim", a light to show the way for other nations, by mending
our communities without fear or shame.
In order to escape accountability for his/her crimes, the perpetrator
does everything in hispower to promote forgetting. Secrecy and silence
are the perpetrator's first line of defense. If secrecy fails, the
perpetrator attacks the credibility of his victim. If he cannot silence
him absolutely, he tries to make sure no one listens. --

Statement on Sexual Abuse of
Children
By Rabbi Zev. M. Shandalov
May 22, 2006
Over the past few days, there have been a number of
items that have been printed in the mainstream press and in the "Jewish"
press regarding stories of sexual abuse of children and alleged cover-up
of said abuse and the perpetrators. The purpose of this email is to address
this situation.
Abuse: I am not going to discuss any of the
allegations in the articles or those that are floating around on the Internet.
I do wish though to comment in general terms.
ANY abuse perpetrated against a child
no matter how "minor" or seemingly "insignificant" can be damaging for life
for the child; is illegal; is assur (prohibited by Torah law) and can potentially
be actionable in a court of law. In addition, anyone seeking to protect the
abuser, including but not limited to rabbis, professionals, community leaders,
institutions, etc. are themselves culpable in the crimes that the alleged
perpetrator commits after discovering the crimes and seeking to cover them
up. The covering up of such offenses not only is in itself a Chillul Hashem
(a profanation of the name of Hashem) but also adds to the abuse of the victims
after the fact. Delivering information to the police in order to remove the
offender from the streets and to protect further abuse is a Mitzva incumbent
upon all who have knowledge of abuse. Additionally, the Mitzvah of "Al ta'amod
al dam re'acha" (One may not stand idly by while another is being injured)
is found in the Torah to make it everyone's responsibility to help another
in jeopardy.
I hope that this has helped to clarify a very disturbing
issue. WE MAY NOT REMAIN SILENT WHEN ANYONE IS BEING ABUSED AND CERTAINLY
NOT WHEN THE PERSON BEING ABUSED IS A CHILD!
