A liberal Orthodox Jewish day school in New York City has launched an
investigation after a former assistant principal was accused of
sexually abusing a student in the 1970s.
Salanter Akiba Riverdale Academy in the Bronx, known as SAR, informed
its community of the investigation in an email Tuesday night. A former
student recently emailed the school alleging abuse committed by Stanley
Rosenfeld, the school’s former assistant principal for general studies.
“As painful as this is for our school community, the pain for any of
the victims of abuse is far greater,” read the email, signed by Rabbi
Binyamin Krauss, principal of the elementary and middle school, and
Rabbi Tully Harcsztark, the high school principal. “We are committed to
being supportive to any victims of abuse, to understanding the abuse
they suffered and the harm it has caused them, and to learning from our
past experiences and using them to inform our present practices to
protect our community.”
