Willig Lanner Chronology
Rabbi Mordechai Willig And OU-NCSY’s Rabbi Baruch Lanner Coverup: A Chronology Compiled by Shmarya Rosenberg, http://www.failedmessiah.com/ 1. Beit din convened in 1989 to hear charges that Rabbi Baruch Lanner, a leader of the Orthodox Union's (OU) National Conference of Synagogue Youth (NCSY), was emotionally, physically and sexually abusing children. (The OU is the parent body of the RCA.) 2. Rabbi Willig excoriates Lanner victims and their families at the beit din before evidence has been heard in a clear attempt to stifle their testimony. 3. The beit din finds Lanner guilty of abuse in a 2 to 1 vote. 4. The beit din does not call police. 5. The beit din allows Lanner and his supporters to publicly claim he has been cleared of all charges by the beit din. 6. Lanner continues to abuse women and children while remaining in the employ of the OU and of Hillel Academy. 7. No steps are taken by the beit din to end Lanner's emplyment by these organizations or to limit – or even to supervise – his contact with children. 8. June 23, 2000 - The New York Jewish Week publishes an investigative piece exposing almost thirty years of Lanner's abuse. 9. June 27, 2000 - Lanner resigns from the OU. 10. Dec. 26, 2000 - The OU releases a report accusing Lanner of sexually abusing girls and women and of physically abusing boys and girls. The report concludes employees of the OU and NCSY did not properly respond to "red flags" raised in the almost thirty years Lanner abused. -

HARAV GEDALIA DOV SCHWARTZ, ZT”L by Rabbi Shaanan Gelman
HARAV GEDALIA DOV SCHWARTZ, ZT”L By Rabbi Shaanan Gelman On December 9, 2020 the Chicago Jewish Community lost Kidushin (33b) describes another show of respect shown one of its greatest leaders. Rav Gedalia Dov Schwartz zt”l to the Av Beth Din when he is outside of the study hall, came to Chicago as the Av Beth Din of the cRc, the Chief presumably in the marketplace: Justice of our rabbinical court, and the highest authority אב ב”ד עובר עומד מלפניו מלא עיניו וכיון שעבר ד' אמות יושב for matters of Jewish law and tradition. He was recognized internationally as a posek and was renowned for his immense If an Av Beth din passes by one stands up in his presence as soon expertise and broad knowledge. Since his arrival in Chicago in as he is within range of vision, and once he passes four cubits from 1986, Rav Schwartz established himself as a leading light for him, one may sit. the broader community, a mentor and supporter of Rabbis Chazal saw these two halachot as part of the same principle, ִמ ְּפ ֵני ֵ ׂש ָיבה ָּתקוּם ְו ָה ַד ְר ָּת ְּפ ֵני ָז ֵקן around the country, and a cherished guide for the countless a fulfilment of the commandment of individuals who sought his sage counsel. – yet they also understood that the reality inside of the study The Gemara dictates two halachot regarding giving respect to hall or the academy was entirely different from the world the Av Beth Din.

Sukkos, 5781 Dear Talmidim, the Recent Uptick in Covid-19 Prompts
1 Sukkos, 5781 Dear Talmidim, The recent uptick in Covid-19 prompts this letter. The Torah requires that we avoid dangerous activity. The protection afforded to Mitzvah performance does not apply when danger is prevalent (Pesachim 8b). In all gatherings, masks covering everyone's mouth and nose must be worn. In addition, appropriate social distance between attendees (except for members of the same household) must be maintained. Hands must be washed with soap and water or with proper hand sanitizer. On Shabbos and Yom Tov liquid soap or sanitizer may and must be used. On Simchas Torah, the usual hakafos and dancing are prohibited. At the discretion of every local rav, hakafos may be limited or eliminated. Any dancing must be done while wearing masks and socially distanced. Upon advice from medical experts, we recommend that the sefer Torah not be passed from one person to another. Preferably, one person should circle the bima 7 times. After each hakafa the tzibur should join in an appropriate nigun and "dance" in place. The practice of everyone getting an aliya is a minhag, not a din, and may be adjusted or eliminated at the discretion of the local rav (see links here and here for similar horaos}. Similarly, at weddings the usual dancing is prohibited. Any dancing must be done while wearing masks and socially distanced. Chasanim and their families are urged to limit the size of weddings and to insist upon and enforce masking and appropriate distancing by all their guests. Adherence to all the above is required by the halacha which demands great caution to protect life and good health. -

Using an Eruv to Untable the Boundaries of the Supreme Court's
USING AN ERUVTO UNTANGLE THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SUPREME COURT'S RELIGION-CLAUSE JURISPRUDENCE Shiraj.Schlaff* INTRODUCTION "[T]he Court's religion-clause jurisprudence . has been de- scribed by scholars of all persuasions, and even by the justices them- selves, as unprincipled, incoherent, and unworkable."1 Lower courts await instruction from the Supreme Court on the ambiguities in relig- ion clause jurisprudence. Controversies that have arisen regarding a procedure that enables Orthodox Jews to carry and push objects out- side on the Sabbath, elucidate many of the holes and incoherencies in First Amendment jurisprudence. This comment uses the creation of an eruv, the name of this procedure, as a case-study to display the ambiguities of current First Amendment law and the need for more specific guidance from the Supreme Court on what the Establish- ment Clause permits and forbids and what the Free Exercise Clause requires. In order to understand the constitutional issues surrounding an eruv, it is important to first grasp the concept of an eruv and its func- tion in Jewish law. According to Jewish law, the Bible prohibits carry- ing from a private domain to a public domain and carrying more than a few feet within a public domain on the Sabbath. A house or apartment is generally considered to be one's private domain. Only a J.D. Candidate, 2003, University of Pennsylvania Law School.
