Abstract:
In the wake of the Catholic Church sexual abuse scandal, other religious institutions have been examining the way their own organizations deal with reports of sexual abuse. The Orthodox Jewish community is among them, and reports have surfaced about the group’s attempt to suppress evidence of the sexual abuse of Orthodox Jewish children by members of their community.Keywords: Jewish Conflict with State Law; Jewish Law; Community Backlash
