I think that many people just have their heads in the sand. They believe that a Jewish person could never do such an evil thing. They don’t understand that everyone is, first of all a person and then, a member of a particular religion. Many Jews have what I call a “superiority” complex and believe that they are better than others and many those then believe that Jews are above committing crimes. I wish that they were but sadly that isn’t the case.
Where I live a Rabbi who had been here for many years was accused of molestation. The case is probably familiar to many of you as it was widely publicized. What made the problem even worse was the fact that a young man committed suicide and the Rabbi left town and went to a large school in a MAJOR city where he access to more children for well over 10 years. He was just fired from that institution a couple of years ago. He has never been legally punished for his crimes – so I guess we will have to wait for the afterlife for justice to be served.
