Published By admin with Comments 0
Rabbi Menachem Yaveh, 51, was arrested this week on suspicion of leading a cult in Jerusalem and sexually abusing boys who were part of the cult. Yaveh is a student of Rabbi Eliezer Berland and father of 17 children. At least four of Yaveh’s former students filed police complaints against him.Ben Ari presented the panel with testimony including claims that Berland was involved in the school and oversaw its staff and curriculum of the 800-pupil-strong elementary school. She showed videos that she said included first-grade and sixth-grade students going to Berland’s home with gifts. “Today, to be a counselor in an after-school program, you have to have a certificate from the police showing you do not have a criminal record or have been found guilty of sex crimes, so why can a convicted sex offender be involved with ultra-Orthodox children?”
