The Rebellious Man of Faith

by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

The patriarch Jacob, my namesake (Jacob Shmuel) of whom we have read the past few weeks in the Bible, is the most maligned of all the patriarchs. He is the one whom non-Jews can do without. The Christians claim to have been grafted onto the seed of Abraham and the Muslims make equal claim to the father of Monotheism as the Jews. But Jacob, with his seeming deception of his blind father to gain the firstborn blessing from Esau and his commercial manipulations of his father-in-law Laban, most of whose flock he eventually owned, is treated by anti-Semites as the prototype of the wily, cunning, dishonest Jew who will do anything to profit.

D.A. Investigation Leads to 85 Child Abuse Arrests

New York Magazine

Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes

Earlier this summer, the Hasidic community in Borough Park was ripped asunder by one of the most gruesome murders imaginable — a young Jewish boy smothered and disemboweled. The murderer may have been a troubled outcast, but he was still one of their own — a chilling reality check. Now, the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office has revealed the results of a three-year investigation into child abuse in the borough’s Orthodox Jewish community that is downright seismic: 85 predators arrested and 117 victims identified, according to the Post.
