Rabbi Yehoshua Kaganoff has asked that the following be posted:
BELOW is the table of contents to my recently published Sefer (in English) that has an entire section (pg 281) on pedophiles & what the Torah really says to do about them.
also BELOW is a synapsis of the OU’s endorsement letter to the sefer. the original letter from the OU is available upon request
please Give this information to the families involved; they can either order the Sefer from me at the below contacts OR They can call me for Psak Halocho & guidance. If I don’t answer my line it’s because I’m helping others. they should please leave a message & a call back number
Sincerely,
Rabbi Kaganoff
