Torah, Kung-fu, Exercise and Achdus
by Zerach Brown
Ahavas Yisroel, the love of a fellow Jew, which is one of the foundations of the Torah, commands upon a Jew to go and to save the life of another Jew whom might be in danger. This Mitzvah is on an individual as well as a community as a whole. It is encompassed by the Mitzvah (Vayikro 19,18) of "You shall love your fellow as yourself". However there is also a specific Mitzvah (Vayikro 19.17): "You shall not stand aside while your fellow's blood is shed - I am Hashem".
In Shulchan Oruch (Hilchos Nezikei Haguf V'Nefesh, Halacha 7), it states: "A person who sees his friend drowning or robbers coming upon him, and has the capability of saving this friend, or hiring someone else to save him, must make the effort to save him, or to hire such person capable of doing so. (According to some, you must make the effort even if it puts your own life in danger, for if you won't help him he is sure to perish, where if you do help him, you have only the possibility of perishing with him). We understand this from the Posuk; (Vayikro 19,17), "You shall not stand aside while your fellow's blood is shed". There Rashi explains; "To see your friends death and you could save him". Also brought down by the Rambam (Nezikin, Rotzeach 1,14) concerning drowning, Pirush La'am adds; "This only applies to someone who knows how to swim". Is this concept true, that only a person who knows how, and is capable of saving him, must himself make the effort? If this is the case, should not one learn the required skills to save another? If you learn how to save a life, and if such a danger arose, you may merit the greatest Mitzvah; (Sanhedrin 37a), "A person who saves one life of Israel, it is as if he saves an entire world". At the same time you will have increased the odds a great deal by having been prepared in advance. A person who does not act in these circumstances, G-d forbid, forgoes on one positive commandment; (Devarim 25,12) "You shall cut off her hand" and also on two negative commandments (ibid.) "Your eyes shall not show pity" and (Vayikro 19,17) "You shall not stand aside while your fellow's blood is shed". If learning how to protect yourself aids in your ability to save others, how important should it be to learn these skills, if they could one day be needed to save your own life let alone that of another?

Zerach Brown is a child molesterBy Ian
December 15, 2009
Final note: if you are a parent, you are feeding your child to the wolfs if you let your child be alone with Zerach Brown.
December 15, 2009
Zerach Brown (also known as Scott brown) is a child molester. Zerach Brown is a sexual predator who desires to exploit male children.
Zerach Brown has a history of exploiting and molesting children. Zerach Brown lived in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn, New York where Zerach Brown systematically molested many children. As
Crown Heights is an insulted, ultra-orthodox, Jewish community; the
members of the community did not report Zerach to the police upon
learning that Zerach was a sexual predator; instead, they forced Zerach
Brown to relocate out of the community. Thereafter,
Zerach moved to the Jewish community of upstate New York and molested
many children, until that community forced Zerach Brown to relocate. At some point, Zerach Brown moved to Jewish community of Seattle Washington. Upon learning that Zerach Brown was a child molester, the Rabbis conducted a thorough investigation and released a report confirmed that Zerach Brown was a child molester.
In fact, Zerach Brown molested me. I was about 14 year old. At
that time, Zerach Brown would allow children use of his apartment to
watch movies, hang out, and socialize. Zerach Brown gave many
approximately children keys to his apartment so that they could use it
when he was not present. On one evening, I was watching a movie alone when Zerach Brown came home. Zerach Brown made me pull down my pants and underpants and lay down on his bed. Zerach
Brown also removed his pants and underpants and lied down on the bed in
such a manner that I could not run out of the apartment without jumping
over him. I felt trapped. Zerach Brown told me that he wanted to watch me masturbate and instructed me to masturbate in front of him. I was stunned, scared, and could not get an erection. Zerach Brown proceeded to touch and play with my genitals and penis to make me erect. This sexually excited Zerach Brown and caused him to have an erection. Zerach
Brown proceeded to masturbate before me and forced me to watch him
ejaculate. After Zerach Brown cleaned up his sperm from the bed sheets,
he allowed me to don my cloths and leave his apartment.
Many other people related to me that Zerach Brown molested them. In
fact, I learned that Zerach Brown molested children as young as 11 or
12 years old by masturbating in front of them and trying get the child
to masturbate and ejaculate in front of him.
I write this story for two reasons. First,
I hope that it will provide a forum for victims of Zerach Brown’s
molestation to write their stories and heal from Zerach Brown’s abuse. Second,
I hope that this will prevent Zerach Brown from molesting other
children by informing the world of Zerach Brown ’s malevolent, vicious,
and heinous actions against children.
