NYC’s Mayor Eric Adams boasts of endorsement from Black Hebrew Israelite ‘rabbi’ accused of child molestation
A 2023 document released by the Charlotte, N.C. based Hashabah Yisrael congregation states that “Rabbi” Baruch Yehuda was excommunicated for a period of “not less than ten years” due to his “refusal to face the charges” that he committed “homosexual molestation of a minor.”
“Due to the serious nature of the charges and the defendant’s failure to comply, it is expected that these determinations will be adopted by any and all congregations, communities, families and individuals,” the document urged.
When contacted by The Grayzone, the Hashabah Yisrael congregation refused to comment on the case. The group is currently facing a defamation lawsuit by Yehuda.
It’s unclear whether the accusations against Yehuda have ever been pursued in a court of law. The Charlotte congregation stated that when they broached the allegations with the International Israelite Board of Rabbis (IBOR), national leadership moved to “unjustly exonerate” Yehuda, even though he “chose not to face his accusers in a trial setting.”
