.@CampKaylie has released the letter below in response to the new allegations against Rabbi Yossi Ungar announcing that Ungar will not be working at Camp Kaylie this year.
🧵🧵🧵
Firstly, as we've noted previously, HALB may have conducted what they called an but that "investigation" was conducted not by an independent investigator but by their own defense attorney who would have a hard time releasing a report incriminating her own client.
Such an investigation conducted by someone with such a clear conflict of interest is a farce and of no legitimate value.
Second, given that Camp Kaylie now knows that it has had in its employ an alleged child sexual abuser, it should open its own investigation which should be open directly to current and former campers and staff to investigate abuse that Ungar may have committed at @CampKaylie.
That said, we are glad to see that Ungar will at least be kept away from @CampKaylie campers this summer.

New allegations of child sexual abuse surface against Hebrew Academy of Long Beach and @CampKaylie rebbi previously named in CVA suit, Rabbi Yossi Ungar, in a letter sent to both institutions by Rabbi Yosef Blau, mashgiach ruchani of RIETS. Letter attached as screenshot. 🧵🧵🧵
This is noteworthy be a use HALB had previously cleared and reinstated Ungar following an investigation and temporary leave. The investigation, however, had been conducted by their *own defense attorney* who couldn't have found them responsible given her duty to her client.
In response to the new allegations, HALB announced that they will be launching another investigation. We strongly urge HALB parents to insist that this investigation not be conducted by HALB's own defense counsel. HALB letter attached below as screenshot.
