Reply To: Admitting bad judgement: Is it seen as a sign of strength or weakness?

Meantime an email is circulating to write to the OU about this matter, complete with email addresses of everyone of importance at the OU.

Heres part of it:

Despite the fact that xxxxx xxxxx admitted his guilt of long term sexual assault of a child, Rabbi xxxxxx has neither retracted his letter or his vilification of the victim and his family. His letter is unfortunately a tragic example of the widespread, grotesque, evil phenomenon of rabbinic coverup of child molesters and persecution of their victims throughout the frum world.

Rabbi xxxxxx is a Senior Posek at the OU, an organization which prides itself on its educated leadership, its integrity and its protection of children. I am writing to you to join and be a signator in a letter writing campaign to all the administrators of the OU leadership, asking that they require that Rabbi xxxxxx publicly retract his letter if he is to continue to be affiliated with the OU. If the OU does not do so, it is giving credibility and publicly honoring a senior employee who advocates protecting xxxxxx child molestors and persecuting their victims, even when the molestor admits his guilt. This is hardly a message befitting the OU and its admirable mission in the Jewish world.
