					<description><![CDATA[Romy Leibler, I wonder at your glowing appraisal of Rabbi Kluwgant in regard to reform within Jewish institutions, when reading the J-Wire posting by Vivien Resofsky on 29/01/15 which, among other comments, said:

&quot;As a social, worker, over the last years I have asked you [Kluwgant], Rabbi Glasman (ex RCV president) and Rabbi Goodhardt (Rabbi in charge of family violence portfolio) whether I can address the members of the RCV to tell the Rabbis about reform that has taken place in other Chabad communities - that involve Rabbis. The answer has been no. Perhaps it is time to implement the reform required - to confront the cultural barriers to reporting and for Rabbis to spearhead change in Orthodox communities.&quot;

Ms. Resofsky also accused him of ignoring the main issue (sexual abuse of a child and cover-up by some in Rabbinical authority) and flipping the problem onto the victims.

In addition, Kluwgant&#039;s part in the Royal Commission hearing revealed less than palatable information about his own conduct, vis a vis a text message.  Rabbi Franklin has a very different agenda to deal with, one not of his making, but one contributed to by those Rabbis who resigned, including Kluwgant, so please spare us the homilies.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;....I worked in tandem with him and one of our major successes was the restructuring of religious institutions such as the Melbourne Beth Din, which is now incorporated with a proper constitution and a communal body shareholder...&quot;

Major Successes? You obviously know NOTHING about MBD or how it operates. First, Mr Liebler, I suggest you go to Rav Franklin at NORA and get the list of charges levelled against  MBD on this &#039;success&#039; period as you put it.  There has been zero accountabily and correct operation in MBD, despite your ignorant claims to otherwise.

There has to be full investigation to these corrupt courts which can only be described as a TOTAL Chilul HaShem, the victim count established, reconciled and accounted for. These courts have no representation whatsoever to Judaism or to any Court that understands its critical role in administering Justice.

Your glowing self praise for the MBD abomination is not only farcical, but disgusting in the face of the refusal for anyone in this community to take responsibility.Until all the perpetrators are removed who still hold current positions, these abominations shut down, the job is not done.]]></description>
