Crown Heights Beis Din: Informing on Molesters – Not Messirah

Rabbis Yaakov Schwei and Yosef Braun





















In a new letter, two members of the Crown Heights Beis Din declared that child molesters have the Din of a Rodef and therefore it is permissible to inform on them to the police and courts, given that there is real evidence of abuse.

The letter, signed by two of the Rabbonim - Rabbis Yaakov Schwei and Yosef Braun, goes into explaining how severe the ramifications of abuse are and how much they effect children, and that someone who does not act on the knowledge of abuse is transgressing on “Lo Taamod Al Dam Reiacha”.

This letter comes on the heels of a number of stories coming out of Australia where certain offenders were exposed, as well as rumors of offenders living in Crown Heights
