"How do you give back a child his life, his innocence?"<br /><br />Several advocates said the harsh sentence will send a message to the Orthodox Jewish community where, they say, frank discussion of sexual abuse is rare.<br /><br />"It's not going to change overnight," said Beth Kaplan, director of Sacred Lives.

President Kaczynski helped promote and encourage the building project when he was mayor of Warsaw and continued his efforts as president.<br /><br />“The relation between the Jewish community and the president was very strong,” the rabbi said. “He took care of all of its needs, not just in words but also in deeds. There were not any major events where he did not honor the community with his presence.”<br /><br />The crash on Saturday wiped out a large part of the elite establishment of the government, and it is not clear why the government took the risk of allowing all of them to fly on one plane. The pilot, who also died in the crash, was blamed for ignoring Russian air controllers’ advice not to try to land under severe weather conditions.

It is the only Conservative congregation in the immediate area.<br /><br />According to The Forward, the alleged rape occurred in 2000, but was only reported last August. The alleged victim, now 17, claims Bramly hit her and then had intercourse with her. She had been friends with Bramly’s own daughter at the time, and her family was close with the Bramly family as well.<br /><br />At the time the rape is alleged to have occurred, Bramly was a first-year rabbinical student at the Jewish Theological Seminary. He was living with his wife and two children, a daughter and a son, in an apartment leased by the seminary for married students, The Forward said.<br /><br />The alleged victim and her mother visited Arizona last June – while Bramly was away – and told his wife that the girl had memories of the alleged rape.<br /><br />Bramly, was arrested by U.S. marshals and New York detectives in Arizona on March 23. He was charged with two counts of rape in an incident that allegedly occurred a decade ago. He pleaded not guilty and was released on $10,000 bail on March 26.Rabbi Avi Shafrannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305689.post-47582695186921820592010-04-08T19:16:20.375-07:002010-04-08T19:16:20.375-07:00Services continue despite charges against rabbi

Dykes, who admitted the abuse, was convicted, imprisoned and is out on parole until 2013.<br /><br />Furthering the plaintiffs case against the organization is admission into the trial of more than a 1,000 pages of so-called perversion files, which are confidential documents kept by the Boy Scouts of America regarding people who have been kicked out of scouting for a variety of reasons, including sex the abuse of scouts.</b>child molester enabler shlomo mandelhttp://abcnews.go.com/US/boy-scouts-america-accused-ignoring-sex-abuse/story?id=10313020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305689.post-47169007051716932842010-04-08T08:57:41.746-07:002010-04-08T08:57:41.746-07:00Ashkenazi protested to the assistant district atto...<i>Ashkenazi protested to the assistant district attorney, “I am a holy person!”</i><br /><br />If the DA has a witnesss they should arrest Mr. Holy Ashkenazi.holy dreknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305689.post-15471508920370268772010-04-07T17:35:21.881-07:002010-04-07T17:35:21.881-07:00I am disenchanted with the mishandling and coverin...I am disenchanted with the mishandling and covering up of abuse coming to light.
