I learned a lot from this .I don’t know where you get your strength from but it’s not human , first to be sexually abused , then to get married, have kids , go to therapy , be open and honest on the very first session , then take the abuser to court and then to share the story as a orthodox rabbi. Such courage so brave
I’ve met the Rabbi and he is the nicest, kindest person ever. A lovely individual ♥️
I was also sexually abused as a child. We live in a fallen world ruled by evil, NOT G-D's fault.
Have you EVER studied the TORAH/TANACH!
YHWH is a genocidal, racist, perverted monster!
🌵
That's a toughie. How could it not be G-d's fault?
Dualism?
Oh my..am so very sorry to hear this story but its so good that you are brave to tell the world.Respect..
What a vile woman your nanny was. I'm glad you had her prosecuted.💙
Nanny who was?
Your grandmother ?
Babysiter?
moved to tears. I'm blown away.
You did not only do this for you Rabbi, but for all those this has happened to . Thank you !
Thank you for your story, your honestly, your commitment. It is inspiring for those of us still stuck in the trap of silence. Bless.
I don’t know how a adult live with themselves after doing such to a child
Thank you for sharing!
God bless you, rabbi! Thank you for speaking up! Kol Hakavod!
Thank you for sharing your story. Your beautiful! Extreme courage on your part.
How did he prove he was sexually abused so many years later? Many sexually abused as kids people are not able to prosecute people who abused them because they don't have proof.
Read his book "Not What I Expected". He managed to get her on a recorded phone call admitting everything she had done, with not one bit of regret. She's a disgusting creature!
I admire your courage!
I admire your courage.
Bless you for telling us your story, you will inspire so many other to tell their story and not suffer in silence
I am so sorry for you.
you are amazing.
The situation was not your fault.
Brave clergyman. That world does not deserve any more Father Tuckers or their Jewish counterparts.
Pedophiles are evil. Evil, evil, evil.
It is great that you tell your story, even when it hurts.
Thank you.
Very touching story, Thanks so much for sharing your story and for your inspiration.
Ur a "hero", for coming out open and facing ur abuser and I understand how Tough it is.
Thanks u Rabbi.
Ur a rabbi I respect and admire.
Horrible. Women are as capable of this ugly predatory behavior as men. Horrible. So sorry that this happened to you.
He's a rockstar, and is very brave. Bless you Rabbi Zippel.
How does this vid not have more likes
Stay strong.
Ok thanks for the kidney stone attack it's a blessing made me realise I need to learn instead of criticizing.
God bless him for speaking up
what does sexual abuse mean for a boy? what happens to a boy when a woman gets their hands on them? what do they do to them? they're always so vague.
Who would want those details? Wth is wrong with you?
@@sharaudramey9336 Am guessing not details...but its an unusual to hear..in the Jewish world🤔😔
@@esterherschkovich6499 sexual abuses don't discriminate. whether you heard about it or not doesn't mean it's less likely to happen in the jewish world. it just means that some people/communities are better at keeping it quiet.
She made him munch her rug.
It makes a person wonder why the Lord allows things like this to happen? The only thing that makes any sense is that God in His wisdom may use this horrible thing that you endured to give others hope and you will now believe a child or young person that would confide in you there shameful dark secret.
what terrible reasoning
That's a disgusting reason. You should be ashamed of yourself for even writing that.
Your sense and Gods sense is uncompareable. God is All Knowing and you are absolutely nothing compared to His knowledge. So dont even try giving a reason or sense.
@@m.s.9396 Not sure where you are coming from or what you have endured, but unless you have been a victim yourself like me who has tried to understand why things happen like this, you have no clue. Working through the process and finding self peace and forgiving those who have wronged you and violated you. Do not lecture me!!
@@sparklingdaisy3169 as a victim of abuse trying to find peace and rationalizing why this happens to me, It may seem disgusting but I've lived it , so do not act so self righteous condemning those who try a fing inner peace a forgiving your perp and finding closure.

Wow 😢😢😢
Don't blame God human lust
Metzitzah b'peh
Your community has a big problem with this
WOW
I just gotta ask was it Kosher?
Mishiginer lubab, that's chassidus? You people are considered as non religious jwes
Ok not buying his story I think he was closet case who found God and guilt
What are you blabbering about.. Look up the picture of the nanny Alavina Fungaihea Florreich. Any sane adult man having any kind of sexual encounter with that monstrosity(She looks like a big ugly ogre), would have nightmares for decades.
Not the first.
There are plenty of atheist jews. Attributing a "journey" to god is absurd. Abuse happens without god. People heal without god. God needs to be recognized as the myth he is.
Lola Twinkle does man care
I personally think that abuse has nothing to do with God, but that abuse is about the people who are abusers misusing their God given freewill.
Albert einstein stated that God does not play dice. How could that be an option if God doesn't exist? One could argue that the dice doesn't absolutely exist, and that would be more truth than arguing that God, All that Is, doesn't exist. Good news, He doesn't require permission from a man, woman, or any other creature. Isn't it written that only a fool will say there is no God? You, of course, can choose that for yourself.
@@jmallett6081 Einstein was probably just using a figure of speach. You can see, hear. smell, taste and feel dice. You cannot do the same with god. You believe god sprang from nothing and created the universe. I cut out the middle man and believe the universe sprang from nothing. God absolutely requires permission to exist. Without humans, deities would not exist...They are man made and exist in peoples minds only.... Primitive people. I believe in one less god than you. If we were living in Rome 2500 years ago, we would both probably believe in a whole pantheon of gods...ditto Scandinavia....ditto Ireland. Today we have the luxury of readily available Science and Philosophy to help us progress beyond superstition and myth.
@@LusciousTwinkle I wondered how people could worship these beings known as the greek gods adopted by the Romans. The more I analyze it, the more I see that these gods were probably a form of the nephilim, who were the offspring of daughters of men and angels who showed such beings technology that men did not have information about. These beings thought they were better than humans, thus they forced their worship. If you look at the stories, you see a group of beings that were cruel, sexual preditors, narcissists, and basically harmful, not beneficial to mankind. Perhaps what is left of the nephilim are our so called leaders or the illuminati, who pretend they do us a service, however only use and abuse us for their own purposes. Usually all myths have some basis of truth behind it that we may not understand.
