Comments on: Kramer sentencing: the aftermath and a repeated apology https://www.jwire.com.au/kramer-sentencing-the-aftermath-and-a-repeated-apology/ Australia, NZ and worldwide Jewish news that matters Tue, 06 Aug 2013 08:48:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Liat Nagar https://www.jwire.com.au/kramer-sentencing-the-aftermath-and-a-repeated-apology/#comment-46080 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 08:48:26 +0000 http://www.jwire.com.au/?p=36004#comment-46080 Let’s hope Rabbi Smukler, and Yeshivah, are actually going to enact real change in regard to the abuse of human beings. Otherwise, statements made are tarred with the same brush as Cardinal Pell and the Catholic Church. Perhaps it’s not a case of the kind of religion involved, as much as people are people whatever religion they embrace. It augurs well to remember this, and not put ourselves as Jews on too high a pedestal. A wrong done to a single human being should always be of prime importance, and the reputation of institutions, religious or otherwise, a very secondary consideration – same goes for the notion of a unified community.

I am late in responding to much of more recent J-Wire material due to big changes I’m currently making in my life, so perhaps nobody will get to read this comment. I’m astounded at the lack of interest shown by subscribers at articles and reports on this subject. The silence is deafening.
