The Jewish Community Online Suicide newlywed 'was sex-abused'
A report that a Brooklyn man who committed suicide two days after his wedding was a victim of sex abuse has riled the Orthodox community.
Mordechai (Motty) Borger, 24, jumped from the seventh-floor terrace of his hotel on November 5. His bride, Mali Gutman, whom he married on Nov 3 after they met through a matchmaker, was asleep in the room.
A spokeswoman for the NYC medical examiner’s office said the death has been ruled a suicide.
Activists working to expose sex-abuse scandals in Orthodox yeshivot said that a report in the New York Post that Mr Borger had been molested as a yeshivah student was accurate — despite angry comments posted from Mr Borger’s acquaintances. The Post, quoting an unnamed source, said that Mr Borger had told his wife about the abuse after the wedding. He was seen on security video footage in the hotel lift appearing agitated.
On the internet, the story prompted a huge number of comments asking questions about Mr Borger’s private life.
“He is a survivor” of sex abuse, said Vicki Polin, founder of the Awareness Centre, a Baltimore-based coalition. She said that Mr Borger had told his parents about the abuse, but they had not sent him to therapy or gone to the police.
Mr Borger’s father, Shmuel, the founder of Amudei Shaish Boys’ Choir, has posted an audio message on the web lamenting his son’s death after a “magnificent wedding” and noting that “a chosson’s week of sheva broches” turned into seven days of mourning.
He urges people to reach out to friends and family. “Don’t be ashamed to say I’m sorry,” he advises.
Ben Hirsch of the group Survivors for Justice said that while he does not know the truth of Mr Borger’s death, he does know of several suicides as a result of sexual abuse.
“The community’s protection of the abuser can sometimes do more damage than the abuse itself.”
Asher Lipner, vice-president of the Jewish Board of Advocates for Children, said that sex-abuse victims can develop post-traumatic stress disorder.
“A young man who is newly married… it could trigger flashbacks to a time when he last experienced sexual contact, which was abuse,” he said.
He said there was growing pressure on the Orthodox community to publicise sex abuse in yeshivot, adding: “There is an incredible amount of pressure put on someone not to talk about what happened. For over 40 years we’ve had in our community 100 per cent denial that the problem exists. When you have a dirty secret and you cover it up, it grows like a cancer.”

Motty Borger was molested by his father Shmuel Borger.

Some may construe Agudas Yisroel Of America's position on gay marriage as being hypocritical, because our opposition doesn't extend to branches enabling child abuse and pedophilia.
You won't see us commentating on Rabbinic scandals or Child Molesters or anything that will shed us in darkness.

It is without joy or rancor that I write what I am about to. It is only to reveal the perniciousness of a disease and its spread when unchecked. I have from an extremely reliable source which I will not reveal so the decision is yours whether to believe this or not.
First, that Shmuel Borger, Motty's father, is a known molester. Secondly, that he molested Motty himself. Third, that Motty himself molested others. I have heard many times of these chains of molestaion many times from professionals in the field. I and everyone else I spoke to found Shmuel Borger's anouncement out of place and detached from reality. Now i understand it. Unfortunately, more details to come.
****UPDATE****
Avrumule wrote in a 7fatcow comment,
I posted on failedmessiah. I didn’t know either Motty or Shmuel.
This creep talks of Ahavas Yisroel, let him rather talk of AHAVAS YELODIM also known as PEDOPHILIA.
I have my sources for what I wrote. And yes Motty DID tell his kallah, it is not a hypotheses.
And there is more to come soon, but i’d rather the newspapers and Law Enforcement publicize it.
Amudei Sheish boys choir. I will always cherish those sweet young innocent sounding voices.
Incest is a humongous epidemic. There exists many of such cases.
Incest survivors are shamed beyond shame, and find it impossible to speak to such abominable behavior against their own flesh and blood.
It is therefore fathomable that the only escape route for Borger resulted in his suicide.
GO TO THE POLICE!

“I was told by several people with closose ties to the Borger family that there is a a family member in the immediate family who is a known molestor.The police should press both Mrs. Borger senior and junior for details and the truth will come out. I also heard that there was a divorce in the family, a fact that warrant looking into.”

you ask if it’s true. did i see shmuely borger molest his son or anyone else, NO. these people don’t do it b’rabim. motti borger did what he thought was his only way out/kaporoh, b’rabim. that’s how we knew something’s wrong. then until his kallah told a newspaper, it was again a chet to say he committed suicide. these things thrive off secrecy. i was told by somebody who i consider an eyd ne’emon that a neighbor of motty’s told him that Motty molested his little daughter. i’ve been told that shmuel borger has a stepdaughter who’s had nervous breakdowns from what she endured. i’ve heard Shmuel’s current wife referred to as a battered woman. I don’t know what happened to his first wife. will the police do an investigation, i don’t know, unless motty told his kallah who molested him, i doubt it. we will probably never know the truth but motti paid the ultimate price for that fact and his father preydigt vi peysach krohn.
The Awareness Center and Vicky Polin
have a personal vendetta against me just because I cover up abuse. I am warning people to stop referencing me every time molesters act out.

Paysach Krohn.. Typical Jew fraud pretending to be so pious and righteous. You make me vomit! You and your fake maggid crap - exploiting vulnerable Jews -- enabling Brenner, Byrks and all sorts of lowlifes to do their ghastly doings.

New York Jewish Sexual Abuse Lawyer
Rabbi Sexual Abuse Attorney in New York
Have you been sexually abused by a member of the Jewish or Jewish Orthodox Community?
Sexual abuse occurs in many communities and institutions throughout the United States. Abusive individuals who prey on children, adolescents and young adults can be found in any setting or religious group or denomination. Recently, light has been shed on acts of sexual abuse perpetrated by rabbis, spiritual teachers and other leaders in the Jewish faith.
Reports of abuse, complaints against rabbis, teachers, mentors and other authority figures in the Jewish community have reportedly gone ignored or unnoticed in previous years. With recent media and public attention on sexual molestation, abuse and inappropriate behavior in religious institutions and groups, many survivors and their families have made the decision to come forward with their own stories of illegal and immoral sexual abuse.
Jewish Orthodox Community Sexual Abuse Lawyer
At the Zalkin Law Firm, it is our mission to provide legal representation and assistance to survivors of sexual abuse throughout the country. If you have been abused by a rabbi or other member of the Jewish faith, orthodox or otherwise, you do have legal rights and you can receive the help and support that you need. We understand that it can be very difficult to relate your story even if it occurred many years in the past. That is why we are dedicated to providing a safe, welcoming environment in which you and your family are protected and supported throughout the process.
Children and adults who have suffered sexual abuse often feel emotions such as shame, regret, embarrassment and anger as a direct result of their experiences.

We at the Zalkin Law Firm encourage and support those survivors who have been able to come forward and we want to help others who have similar situations.

BREAKING! Government Dismisses All Immigration Charges Against Rubashkin
http://failedmessiah.typepad.com/failed_messiahcom/2009/11/breaking-government-dismisses-all-immigration-charges-against-rubashkin-456.html
There are definitely several witnesses who heard Motty Borger say he was molested by Lebovits yemach shemo. As I have said on my blog, along with many others elsewhere, we need more public witnesses of abuse to help break through the wall of denial along with many other steps. Rabbinic hand wringing and recommending therapy are not enough.
Challenge: I bet the molesters steer clear of the children of the rabbonim, askanim, and gevirim. So they are not as out of control as claimed. In return they get a free pass at the more vulnerable in the community.
Many of the communal leaders are living privleged lives which allow them to minimize the problem because it does not affect them directly. They are betraying their flock, or they are obtuse to the point of being too stupid to merit their positions. BTW, I would urge readers concerned about these issues to chime in on the discussion at Rabbi Horowitz's site: http://www.rabbihorowitz.com/PYes/ArticleDetails.cfm?Book_ID=1225&ThisGroup_ID=262&Type=Article&SID=2

Precisely on target! Many live in luxury and comfort, while their herd struggle to put bread on the table.
They inherit authoritative positions with "qualifications" inferior to pigs. But that doesn't stop these shysters. They feel as if they are Enron; entitled to scheme, corrupt, abuse and betray others without having to pay the price.
Sexual molestation is only a "problem" because of certain activists who won't let it disappear into the night, but you can wager your house it plays back fiddle to everything else.
It's sick!
Baruch Lebovits had to have been protected by people in the community.
What i think is this is still a topic shunned in the ultra orthodox community.
They rather this happens again than reporting to police, and they won't learn their lesson until they start being prosecuted and bankrupted by lawsuits.
i hate this hushing up business by the people, they are so robotic and zombie-like.
The Swine Flu is common in PIGS.
This is a clear indication that it is the Dayanim – ‘Judges’ - and ‘Rabbis’ of today who are the PIGS and swines.
They twist and use the Torah for their own power and commercial benefit.
They are corrupt. And they are interested in only one thing:
MONEY.
Not the Torah.
When ‘dayanim’ and ‘rabbis’ use the Torah for their own power and commercial profit, this is the behaviour of a swine i.e. a Pig.
No other ‘rabbi’ will ever act against another ‘rabbi’ - even when he knows his colleague is clearly desecrating the Torah. Each rabbi is only worried about losing his own position.
Therefore, the ‘rabbi’ and ‘dayan’ will never effect justice. And he will never truly stand for the Torah or the Honour of Hashem. His pocket will always prevail.
The Torah must never be used for commercial gain and profit. Am Yisrael can only be lead by those who have the necessary love and respect of Hashem and the Torah.
1. The ‘dayan’ and ‘rabbi’ may use lies. They turn the innocent into the guilty, and the guilty, become the innocent. They will not hesitate to tell lies in the Synagogue.
2. The ‘dayan’ and ‘rabbi’ may steal. They steal and siphon off money for themselves, from the community and individuals.
3. The ‘dayan’ and ‘rabbi’ may shame a Jew in public, even repeatedly. This is one of the most vile acts of murder in Jewish law – and they know this.
4. The ‘dayan’ and ‘rabbi’ will not hesitate to use Lashon Hara - the ‘Evil Tongue’ - to suit his own ends. Slander and gossip. This too, is one of the worst acts of murder in Jewish Law. Their slander is never challenged by the community, because they hold positions of power. And the slander may begin with the Rebbetzin herself.
5. The ‘dayanim’ and ‘rabbis’ worship idols and other gods. Their only god is Money. Especially the ‘Dayanim’ – the ‘Judges’ who sit on a Beit Din. They only care about their high incomes and retirement packages. They have little or no love for the Torah or Hashem.
In the case of Lubavitch/Chabad, all their rabbis are carrying out a form of Avodah Zarah – strange worship. They are using mediation and intercession. This is completely forbidden, and against the Torah. We are only allowed to pray to Hashem, directly ourselves.
6. When the NAME of Hashem has been taken in Vain – repeatedly - by reshaim, the ‘rabbi’ will turn a deaf ear and blind eye to the
CHILLUL HASHEM.
This is the abhorrent behaviour of a Pig.
This is an extremely severe and dangerous situation.
There is NO forgiveness for this evil sin and aveirah.
7. The ‘dayan’ and ‘rabbi’ may also offer large bribes, tell lies and bring False Witnesses – when he in fact has committed the crime. These are heinous acts of the most despicable kind. This is especially vile when the ‘dayan’ is sitting on a ‘Beit Din.’
8. The ‘rabbi’ may commit adultery. And when he gets divorced, he may spread slander about his own ex-wife, blackening her name – when in fact he was at fault.
9. The ‘dayan’ and ‘rabbi’ may also desecrate Shabbat – if it suits him. He will use physical violence to assault another Jew or Jewess at any time. This evil and venomous behaviour is 100% against the Torah.
Lebovits convicted on eight of ten charges this afternoon. Denied bail. Led away in handcuffs.
http://frumfollies.wordpress.com/2010/03/08/lwebovitsguilty/
Trial also exposed another Molester, Rabbi Yissocher Berel Ashkenazi of Spinka Yeshiva, BP
A further word of advice regarding those who masquerade as a ‘dayan’ ‘rabbi’ or false ‘mekubal’:
1. These men may knowingly and willingly, deliberately deceive a Jew or Jewess. e.g. in the area of shidduchim, or offering to perform a ‘pidyon nefesh’.
This abhorrent and deceptive behaviour has caused tremendous harm to people who are innocent and trusting.
2. Do not ever ‘kiss the hands’ of these men (which they might offer to you in public).
3. And do not be duped into queuing and waiting, to see them for their ‘brachot’ (‘blessings’). They peddle ‘brachot’ purely for their own selfish gratification and ‘kavod’ (‘honour’).
Their duplicitous behaviour is nothing short of deception and cunning. In short they are abhorant and causing so much harm to amm israel. They prey on the vulnerable, and those who are naïve, unsuspecting and trusting of these pedlars.
Any man who chooses to be a ‘rabbi’ (‘true teacher’ of Torah) or a ‘dayan’ (‘judge’), or a ‘mekubal’ (‘kabbalist’) should be doing so Voluntarily. Out of his pure love for Hashem and the Torah. And his Ahavat Yisrael.
If he refuses to do community work voluntarily, and wants and accepts payment for everything he does, such a man should not be leading a community. He should get a job and earn a living. He can collect milk bottles or clean the windows. That is what is called ‘earning a living’.
Torah is learned, studied and taught: out of Love. Voluntarily. But the ‘rabbis’ have turned the Torah into their ‘Profession’, from which they earn money.
We are commanded in the Shema to:
‘LOVE Hashem, your G-d, WITH ALL YOUR HEART, and with all your soul and with all your might.’
‘VE’AHAVTA et Hashem Elokecha BECHOL LEVAVECHA uvechol nafshecha uvechol meodecha.’ (Devarim, Vaethanan, 6:4-5)
Is the ordinary man or woman PAID to pray to Hashem, or to say some words of Torah? No. Has veshalom! But the rabbis are. These men can give ‘lovely’ shiurim that they have rehearsed. But they would not give a shiur without being paid for it.
The true hachamim and rabbis of old, all actually worked at proper jobs and professions.
Wake up! Even a little child could have worked this out. These salaried men can never truly stand for the Torah, because in a case of conflict between a correct course of action according to the Torah, and the rabbi or rav’s pocket – his pocket and position will always prevail.
Pirkei Avot: (2:2)
“Raban Gamliel beno shel Rabi Yehuda HaNassi omer: yafeh talmud Torah im derech eretz, sheyegiat shenaihem mashkachat avon. Vechol Torah she’ein imah melacha sofa betailah ve’goreret avon. Vechol haoskim im hatzibbur yiheyu imahem leShem Shamayim……”
“Rabban Gamliel, the son of Rabi Yehuda HaNassi, said: It is good to combine Torah study with a worldly occupation, for working at them both drives sin from the mind. All Torah without an occupation will in the end fail and lead to sin. And let all who work for the community do so for the sake of Heaven………”
