100 000 children in Israel have been sexually assaulted
Rabbi Aryeh Goodman, 30, a former counselor at Chabad’s Camp Menachem
in Lackawaxen County, Pennsylvania and the current director of Chabad
of East Brunswick, New Jersey – was reportedly arrested by New Jersey
State Police Friday and is incarcerated in the Middlesex County Prison
awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania on charges related to an alleged
child sexual assault just over a decade ago.
During the summer
2012, a now-teenage boy told police that he was sexually assaulted
Goodman while he was a camper at Camp Menachem and Goodman was counselor
there in 2001,
the Times-Tribune reported.
According to a brief biography on the Chabad of Central Jersey website,
Goodman was born in Highland Park New Jersey. He studied in Chabad
yeshivas Brooklyn, Toronto, and Morristown, New Jersey, completing his
rabbinic studies and at Chabad’s Sydney, Australia, yeshiva.
The
biography says that Goodman and his wife Ora Malka are "currently on
Shlichus [i.e. serving as official Chabad representatives] in Central
Jersey and are the directors of Chabad of East Brunswick which is host
to Chai Central Hebrew school with over 40 children, as well as the
Kabbalah of Life organization, Shabbat Minyanim, Bar Mitzvah Lessons
online, Holiday celebrations and much more.”
Although some of the rabbis listed on the Chabad of Central Jersey
website come from prominent Chabad families, none – including Goodman –
are listed on Chabad's international website.
Camp Menachem is affiliated with the so-called messianist wing of Chabad.

I know him personally and he is innocent. Please wait for all the facts before we judge...
"I know him personally..."
We're not judging, just reporting
