Crown Heights Beth Din statement re reporting abusers

Hat tip Zalman
Statement signed by 2/3 of the rabbonim on the Beth Din of Crown Heights (one being ex-Sydneysider Rav Y Braun the former rav of the Tzemach Tzedek community).

Hopefully similar statements will be issued by Batei Din and Rabbonim worldwide.

Where to now, Tzemach Tzedek?

Sydney boy writes:

Now that a date has been set for the departure of their popular and respected Rav, what does the future hold for the Tzemach Tzedek community?

 
Do they continue to operate as an independent Shul? Will they appoint another rabbi? Do they want another rabbi? Can they afford a rabbi?

If the answer to those questions is "yes", then the next question is: "Where will they find another leader with even some of the qualities of Rav Braun?“

While Rabbi Braun was always valued and admired in Sydney, his elevation to one of the highest posts in the Chabad rabbinical world indicates how fortunate we have been to have him in our midst for the past few years. At the same time this makes the selection of a replacement an even more difficult task.

Meanwhile I am sure that everyone joins me in wishing him and his family Hatzlacha Rabba in his new position.
