The irony is that many frum yidden have not problem proudly supporting and defending non-jew, John McCain, adulterer, for president. But when a Jew stumbles into a similar arena of sin, he is looked upon forever with ein hora?

Nothing was ever proven against Karben, and even the allegations were nothing terrible. He has never admitted any wrongdoing. So what business has anyone got laying into Zaka for honouring him?

its great to see so many forgiving people? i guess each of you who throw stones have found to the path to the holy land. ryan, like most of us have made mistakes. i always thought of God as very forgiving. too bad his children haven’t learned thar lesson.

The events related to Ryan Karben are public knowledge. Is there any evidence that he has changed?

Without such evidence, ZAKA has to explain why they are honoring him. Evoking his memory is damaging to the decent and honest members of the Jewish community.

This deligitimizes Zaka in my opinion. What rabbinical leadership do they follow anyways?

The Yeshiva World has chosen not to publish any story pertaining to abuse in our communities.

Nothing.

None of Dov Hikind motsei shabbos topics are grist for The Yeshiva World.

Then why oh why is this topic something that The Yeshiva World finds fit to print.

Ryan’s peccadilloes are his alone — They are quite frankly bein adam l’makom and it is quite possible — and most likely probable that he did t’shuvah.

What Dov was discussing on the other hand was issues of bein adam l’chaveiro and lamokom. The radio show dealt with issues of protecting our children

If those items are taboo on YWN, then al achis kama v’kama this is.

YW Editor please rethink your position.

Yah, apparently Pinchos Gordon is a new editor. His name dosn’t appear anywhere else.

Regarding the Loshon Hora comments. It should be long apparent to anyone reading this blog that this is the millionth time a YW news report can be considered Loshon Hora. If this is indeed your opinion, than STOP READING THE BLOG. Reading loshon hora is also an aveira, no matter how many times you are stunned, shocked, appalled and horrified to see it in print.
