    Israel – The Jerusalem District Court ruled on Monday that Avrohom Mondrowitz, an ultra-Orthodox man who fled the United States for Israel two decades ago to avoid abuse charges, must remain in custody until the end of legal proceedings against him.

    The United States seeks the extradition of Mondrowitz, 60, a member of the Gur Hasidic sect, and the court ruling stemmed from the suspicion he may attempt to escape Israel before his extradition. [Haaretz]

    Sorry to have to argue here but, as a parent of a child who was molested in cheder by such a person I feel he should get what is coming to him. My son’s molestor was dumped by the cheder, and a local Rov sent the molestor to a frum psychiatrist. My son also went to a psychiatrist at our own expense, the molestor hasn’t had to pay for his crimes at all!! We were told not to publicise because he has a wife and kids and they are not to blame for their paedophile of a father/husband – but BOY! do I wish I could have had a go at him myself. Paedophiles need punishment and psychiatric help.

    ….we dont put our foot down now, regardless of how many years have past that we DONT KNOW IF HE MOLESTED in ISRAEL,….

    If this is the case, then arrest EVERYONE on the street, since WE DON’T KNOW IF THEY MOLESTED SOMEONE!

    This case does not make a bit of sense, 25-30 years of no allegations against him…. something is fishy here…

    If we dont put our foot down now, regardless of how many years have past that we DONT KNOW IF HE MOLESTED in ISRAEL, then what is to stop a would be molester from thinking he can run and hide (after being outed) for a few years then resurface and cry that he has since desisted from further molestations? We would be showing all perverts that you can run and hide and never see the inside of a cell ’cause we are a bunch of looney liberals who bleed for criminals. We are acting worse than the christians r”l!

    You farbissene people calling for blood: Stop and think how our community will suffer embarrassment, and worse. For alleged crimes of 25-30 years ago!
    Think of his parents and children, who will be tortured by the press’s salacious reportage. Have a heart. His wanderings and his family’s sufferings are enough.
    As for the real screamers on this blog, those whose comments have been mercifully ‘moderated’ by the moderator, get a life; get psychological help; keep your venomous vituperations in your embittered selves.
    Be mispallel for Mondrowitz and his family. May they live in Israel in peace.

    to all you who r concernd about his prosecution ,im sure there is crdible evidents ,however just off record for the last 20 years wile being in israel ,he didnt get any atention nor anny seport from the gerer rebbe ,or chasidus ,so just cut it out ,this has nothing to do with the chasidus or the rebbe ,,so if you have a problm with the rebbe or chasidus stick it to yourself ,because we all know that with real rebbes we dont start,,and this same said on litvakishe gedoilim ,with gedoilim dont start you understnd ,, dont conect mondrwitz sins only to him self same like you believe that his kids or family r innocent

    He was indicted and ran away before trial.

    I suggest all you guys who want to be don l’kaf z’chus should find some other midah to work on first. Like feeling rachmanus for the hundreds of children who’s lives he destroyed and for the few that committed suicide.

    The allegation that Ger is protecting him is well known and disturbing. I would think that if it were false we would hear a loud denial from them. I have yet to see anyone even claim that he is not as welcome in Ger as any other Gerrer chusid.

    This should concern every Jewish parent. If Ger is not afraid to shield him and TT is not afraid to shield Kolko and NIRK is not afraid to shield thiers and and and and………who is your son’s yeshiva not afraid to shield?

    Clearly Mondrowitz is in great need of a tikkun. What is wholly inexplicable however is how the Gerrer Rebbe has stood behind him. Here in Yerushalyim he has been accepted into, and honored by, the Gerrer community like any other hoshive Yid from New York who decides to come and live in Eretz Yisroel. Why?

    The Gerrer Rebbe has not done anything to block his extradition.

    Keep your Chutzpah comments on your filthy blog.

    We’ve heard about running away TO Israel. But running away FROM Israel is unheard of.

    Yes , this case was PROVEN in a court of law and that is why this bum ran to Israel 20 years ago.

    And for the Gerrer Rebbe to get in the courts way and protect a child molestor is sick. No wonder why rebbes are starting to go to jail themselves. What goes around comes around.
