| Rabbi David Twersky (Skvere Rebbe) and Deb Tambor Z"L |
When
you deal with a quasi-chasidic community that appears to be mimicking a
cult, innocent people end up dying -- in the case of Deb Tambor I call this murder by suicide.
Judaism
is about each individuals relationship with G-d, and not the power and
control various rabbonim seem to be implementing over their congregants
and or community members. From the experiences shared with me from
various individuals (OTD survivors) who walked away from communities
like New Square, they left in hopes of being able to experience "Free
Will".
I've
never seen so many young people feeling trapped within a system in
which they felt they had no alternative but to end their lives. With the
number of suicides coming out of New Square along with a few other
quasi-chasidic communities, I fear the number of deaths will surpass the
number of those who died in Jonestown.
I pray to G-d all the time that the federal goverment will start
investigating the "alleged" corruption that is going on in this town ––
in hopes of preventing one more person ends up committing suicide.
I
want to remind everyone who is feeling hopeless or trapped that there
is help available to you. You can always call the National Suicide
Prevention Hotline 1-800-273-8255.
