It’s been almost six years since I found myself in tears, sitting on a
floor as a victim of childhood sexual abuse described to me in detail
how, at 14 years old, Mendel Tevel performed oral sex on him. Tevel was
seen by many as a beloved, caring, and charming “mashpia” (spiritual
guidance counselor) within the Chabad community of Crown heights
Brooklyn and beyond. I remember this conversation as if it happened
yesterday. It would be one of many sleepless nights to come which I
experienced during my years of confronting childhood sexual abuse within
the Orthodox Jewish community.
