Israel - A 14-year-old girl from Beitar Illite was taken to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem after an unknown person spilled acid on her face, legs and stomach, causing light burn wounds.
The act has been attributed to a representative of the so-called ‘modesty guard’ in this town where religious and secular residents are increasingly at bitter odds.
MDA received the call just before midnight on Wednesday and paramedic Dror Eini who arrived on the scene to treat the girl also managed to calm her down enough so she could explain what had happened.
Eini told Ynet that “the modesty guards have been threatening her for quite some time.” According to the paramedic the focus of the threats has largely been the victim’s 18-year-old sister and some suspect the attacker mistook the younger girl’s identity for that of her older sister’s.
Eini said the teenager was in a difficult emotional state: “She cried the whole way to the hospital, partly because she was in pain but mostly because she was terrified.” According to Eini at the time of her attack the girl had been wearing loose-fitting long pants and a short-sleeved shirt.
“If she would have been wearing the same thing in Jerusalem or in Tel Aviv, she would not have stuck out in any way,” he added.
An ultra-Orthodox teen from Beitar Illite who is in contact with the girl’s family spoke with her sister who described the incident. According to the boy, the attacker stopped the girl and first asked her for directions. Then, after confirming her surname, he spilled a bottle of acid on her.
The girl was released from the hospital on Thursday and the police sent samples of the liquid she was attacked with for analysis.

What a great kiruv thing to do.
If spilling acid really worked on making people more frum everyone owuld be doing it!
The people who spoilled the acid on this girl should have their hands and feet chopped off in a public square.
This story is making the world headlines and gives the entire klal yisroel a bad name.
This is totally disgusting and nebach on the parents and mechanchem who condone such behavior of these cowards.

1, words can not explain all the thoughts. The sick minds behind this must be perverts. Normal people are not so upset by seeing a girls that they would do such harm.
2, The harm that could be done could lead to blindness and burning of the skin that can lead to permanent scars. I agree that cutting off hand and feet would be a start.

is this what we are being tought? I dont think so!!!

Not to say this crazy act was okay, it obviously is horrific, but, the perpetrators may have thought to damage her clothes not realizing it would harm her. Some of them are not very educated. Some jerk may have heard that acid ruins clothes, and thought to ruin the non tznius clothing.
Either way, it is a very wrong thing to do, but there may have been no intent to physically harm her.

Take a deep breath and think
Dont get me wrong this is dispicable and must be condoned.

The Jewish nation is in a sad state. Historically, forever and ever the Jewish cycle is the same. So much of our suffering and sorrow unfortunately, begins with us and our lack of working together to be one cohesive unit.
Extremism is horrible and never works. Yes, saying to chop off ones hands and legs is horrible and the same as throwing acid at someone.... I just cant think of a different solution. The extreme right, just as Right Islam and Christianity is close minded and not willing to listen to reason.
That quality is what is so alarming and is the cause of so much resentment and hatred leading to comments such as "cutting off an arm."
How would you deal with terrorism and extremism? Logic never works. In a way, this is the same. How do you change people that are not willing to talk or listen? People that are not willing to listen to logic and reason.....
Sad Sad State.

The ones that say they are embarresed to be a frum jew
or they respect the one who eats bacon

We need to be respected Jews that fulfuill all of the torah commandment not just some - and as long as you are respectfull the Torah was given as whole not partly
we have a chance to except it again the right way next week tusday

they should be found and put in jail nowhere does the torah teach to pour acid on those who arent brought up charedi shame on these so called frum zealots who put a stain on all frum people!!
06-05-2008 - 2:30 PM
By the way, this all starts with the idiots screaming "Shabbos" on the streets - as if the word "Shabbos" was a curse word chalila
06-05-2008 - 2:38 PM
Rabbosai, PEOPLE WHO ACT LIKE THIS RE NOT ORTHODOX!! THEY ARE NOT FRUM - THEY ARE KRUM!!

I think all the condemnations of the Modesty Guard" people are premature. No one has identified the perpetrator yet.
He is obviously a terrible person, or maybe he's a nutcase, who thinks he's doing something heroic.
He certainly doesn't represent Hareidim, and his misdeeds do not justify this hareidi-bashing extravaganza.

There are clear large signes at all entry points, pleading with people visiting the frum neigborhoods, to please weare modest clothing. It is ironic that goiym are very understanding.
This should not be a defense for such horrible acts, it is just to understand the chilonim are not so inocent all the time all the places.

You are just as sick as the one who threw the acid
06-05-2008 - 3:08 PM
06-05-2008 - 3:08 PM
You are so quick to condemn the victim as not being innocent and doing this bedafke.
Maybe she doesn't have any other tznius clothes
and doesn't believe that she can be dictated to by Chareidim as to what to wear.
Yes - Poor Girl - nebech she was not zoiche to grow up with frum values and Poor Girl the chances of her ever becoming frum has probably
gone down to zero along with all her friends and
thousands of other chilonim. Poor girls and boys.

Someone posts that we should all wear a full skirt and long sleeved top or dress UNDER our outer dress because "she" read that it was required.
Then in another post the same user writes that we should check our shoes to make sure that they do not make sound when we walk.
I thought this was crazy and some other bloggers said so. A few days later I was on an anti missionary blog and they were discussing Christian missionaries who post absurd standards of tznius to Jewish blogs as part of their goal to make Judaism too hard to keep.
They figure they will turn people away and in the next generation get their kids as Christians.
I searched the blogs for this "noisy heels stuff" and found the same post on several modest clothing blogs.
Is it possible that it is not Jews who are doing this awful thing??
There ARE many Xtian missionary training seminaries in Bnai Brak, that is where they go to learn to look and act Jewish.
We never heard of this crazy stuff 20 years ago. Isn't it weird that we are seeing so much of it now??

This act was definitely carried out by some psycho that was just released from a psychiatric ward.

It goes something like this: A young girl (not frum) decided to visit the Rebbe during Sunday Dollars. She was not dressed appropriately. When it was her turn, the Rebbe gave her a dollar, and he said to her: Next time you come, I will give two dollars only if you dress like a daughter of Yisroel should. Well, she did, and from what I have been told, she is married with children, living a frum life.
Using hate and violence will not bring a Yid closer. It will only cause them to become more distant. What a shame.

By the way 4 hundred years ago most men wore skirts and women wore pants so these idiots should leave women alone and wear kilts.

It would be better if we taught our children how to learn then how to throw stones.

You will never see a Rosh Yeshiva or serious Jew get angry by another jew's non observence, instead they will display profound sadness at anothers jew's misdirection.
06-05-2008 - 5:31 PM
You're embarrassed to be a frum Jew?! The only way you could be embarrassed if this is your definition - A person who dresses frum is frum. I define a frum Jew by their actions, not by what they look like. I am not embarrassed by these people because they are not frum; if they want to cover up let them wear a kaffiya!
06-05-2008 - 5:47 PM
With such a coincidence on the name I wonder if this was not a setup.
BTW - when was the last time you confused a 14 year old with her 18 year old sister?
