Victims of a prominent Orthodox rabbi who spied for years
on women in a ritual bath in Washington, D.C., have reached a $14.25
million settlement with four Jewish organizations, the rabbi’s former
synagogue announced Tuesday.
The settlement,
which must be approved by a judge, could close a legal chapter in the
scandal that rocked the Orthodox Jewish community regionally and
nationally, because of the prominence of Bernard “Barry” Freundel and
victims’ allegations that national Orthodox rabbinical bodies could have
done more. The Jewish groups named in the lawsuit were: Kesher Israel
Congregation, the National Capital Mikvah, the Rabbinical Council of
America, and the Beth Din of the United States of America. Freundel was
also named in the suit.
