No there was no Devine decree for atonement here. Interesting that god took this man in a flood? No not so much? This man was not a tragic loss in his death, that’s mercy. This man was a tragic loss in his life. A highly intelligent man whose neshema was possessed and who much like lord Vader of Star Wars chose the dark side over light. His deeds hurt good people and cost some thier own lives long before he had passed.

So yes it is necessary to list the deeds of the man’s life so as to not martyr or celebrate him. He was offered tremendous opportunities for Tishuva but was incapable of seeing his own needs to do so. It is sad to lose any souls Jew or otherwise but also important to be clear in reporting who they were in their life. He made those choices and they don’t get buried with him.

Being banned from 770 and almost every shul in CH
MEANS A LOT for the community. Forcing him to leave CH may have been proven difficult.
He should have never been allowed to leave
jail after the first time he was arrested.

The legal system was too soft on him.

Allow me to explain, kol yisroel areivim zeh lzeh, every yid must take responsibility for other yidden like it is their own brother (cause after all we are one big family. Bnei avraham, yitzchok, vyaakov), as an “askan” would you sit back and watch someone destroy the life of your younger brother, your son. Terrorize your wife, daughters, sisters etc?
Maybe ch needs to start asking if their “askanim” have the right intentions for them, or is it all selfish. If you’re power hungry, work to become an elected official, if you’re not elected, it’s because this is not for you! Move on, become the gabbai in a shul! Stay away from community work if you can’t help it!

In many peoples opinion, there should have signs all over ch, signs in schools “stay far away from this guy he’s dangerous!” If he was an outside rabbi, his face, his name, everything he ever did wrong in his life would be known to all, and what is he trying to do, Make a better life for his family? Make a better life in Torah for those around him? And a murderer!? Nothing!

I just want to point out, this drug pusher wasn’t the first, and definitely wasn’t the first who had kids crack up from it, and worse passed away. There used to be a guy who looked very frum, who was a full on drug dealer in ch, in 770, always talking to the kids, yet… nothing was done!

Ask yourselves, are we doing what’s best for our children? Who can honestly, wholeheartedly stand up and say ״ידינו לא שפכו את הדם הזה״ of all children who fall off, or fall victim r”l! And it’s time to point fingers inward…

Responsible for a few deaths in our community
