Ynet reports this disturbing story.
In a case of mistaken identity a 70 years old is mercilessly beaten by Orthodox Jewish anti-missionary zealots only for it to turn out she is not that kind of missionary at all, she helps women convert to Judaism! Even if she were that kind of missionary there is no justification for this any kind of violent attack. And if she were that kind of missionary, would there be the outcry that there is now over this vile attack?
‘Modesty Patrol lynched me’
Elderly Jerusalem woman brutalized by thugs who evidently thought she was a missionary; police source: Assailants wanted to send a message
A 70-year-old ultra-Orthodox woman found herself the target of a brutal religious hate crime on Monday night, when four thugs broke into her home and beat her up before leaving her handcuffed and bleeding.
“They were sent by the Modesty Patrol,” the woman, S., told Yedioth Ahronoth. “They told me, ‘You are destroying the neighborhood with you missionary teachings.”
The thugs hit her repeatedly with a metal rod, breaking her right hand, crushing her left leg and injuring her face. They used their cell phones to document the attack, evidently to report back to those who sent them.
Jerusalem police investigators confirmed that the attack was religiously-motivated.
“It’s clear that this wasn’t a robbery,” a source close to the investigation said. “The suspects didn’t come to the apartment to steal property, but to send a message.”
S. made aliyah from the United States two decades ago. She has two sons, one of whom resides in Israel, while the other lives in the US. On Sunday, she was supposed to travel to the US to attend her grandson’s Brit Milah. Instead, she was hospitalized at the Hadassah-Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem.
Over the past eight years, S. has been living alone at a primarily haredi area of Jerusalem’s Nachlaot neighborhood, and has been teaching women who wish to convert to Judaism.
“They thought that I’m a missionary because I teach non-Jewish women,” S. said.

FTA: [They used their cell phones to document the attack, evidently to report back to those who sent them. ]
This is dispicable – someone must know who they work for.
As its in Nachlaot, could it be people as evil as the paedophiles that had been targeting kids in the same area.
Yad Lachim and Jewish Israel, are you reading this, will you be condemning such an act?
Don’t hold your breath, YLA probably sent them……..same way they Teitel was one of theirs.
This sounds like it’s the Sikrikim, a small bunch of violent extremists from the charedi community.
These people are acting more and more like their adversaries on the other side of the sharia curtain.
whats the chances that Yad Lachim and Jewish Israel will issue a response saying they deplore attacks like that wether the intended target was correct or not?
why does not one writer report the actual truth,not the sexy version to bash haradim. the ugly truth that this wom an is a monster who i personally know with a long long list of victims who i can put this writer in touch with.
its not about her past as a missionary convert, or her fake conversion school. its about al the victims and there are many
anyone who wants the real truth can talk to me. i am not haradi,dont know who sent the men. but i know she has not even began to be punished for her sins
Ruth, what do you define as a ‘monster’ or ‘long line of victims’
is using mobster criminal type stunts justified ever? This is the same neighbourhood where around 70 kids had been sexually abused by Haredim.
C’mon you need to spill out to the cops anything you know.
maz deshlosh
i know you are not going to accept the facts below, however it is the truth. you can pretend there is a system that works, we here know that it does not exist not here.
so when the rabbi lets you down, all the rabbi’s have let all of us down by their silence and compliance to cover up the ugly dirt. the media is biased against you. and the parents are on the boil and in despair. and that haradim dont get me started with their nonsense – i am in this war to save the children only not to justify anyone
first let me bother you with facts
the police who i have spoken to
1 . as a victim of the good friend of sarah vorst – the famous ..zalman cohen the rapist
2 in connection with skippy another pervert
3 trying to give a statement where another pervert threatened to shoot parents and children and being told to go away and not bother them.
that po lice who can do nothing at all except defend perverts as i have seen with my own eyes and do not even sotp the perverts walking around my area and others.
that police, yah really
and he police do not hing because the judges say there is no evidence – mountains of evidence are not evidence
the the judge who does nothing not only because his palm is greased is told by the big rabbi to cover up the story
and so on. and the legal system we should go to is corrupt and careless.
ok now to the next point
those over way over 100 victims the children, ask sarah vorst about the torture they went through from babies she was involved in their torture so escuse me if i dont give a damn how many times they hit the witch.
the perverts well lets see most are americans who came here and took half wit israelis to help them gang rape the kids and film it. most wera the uniform of the haradim.
Leah, thats trully tragic and awful,
I would say though dont put names of anyone involved on the web, this could endanger any courts decisions on putting the evil people responsible for this in the slammer. Innocent people in the UK got their cars set on fire from rumours that got twisted around on the web about people accused of child sex abuse, and it turned to be the wrong guy.
Try this, write a statement on your computer, and add anything you feel comes up recently or you hear from neighbours and record it. Make multiple print outs and mail them to different people in the police department, maybe that way theres less chance of someone might ‘make any evidence disappear’ if indeed there is any corruption as you said. I have to say I know nothing on how Israels police and law enforcement deal with this kind of thing.
I will pray and encourage everyone else on RPP to do so also, for both the child abuse case and the woman attacked by a religious mob in her home.
boy am i happy to be outta nahlaot esp with my kids
actually it makes me more determined to clean up the area than ever. my garden brings great light and joy to the area and i am not going to be afraid of thugs. also my children are not here so that is one reason i took on this war to save the children.
we cannot allow the wicked to win. never. no way. we have to fight back and bring sanity and law and order here. just walking up to skippy and telling him to leave the area has produced results, he looks awful his health is terrible. i thought he was going to kill me after i destroyed the montifore garden we made together but he is a scared coward only good at bullying babies.
zalman cohen is in jail and the trial is ongoing the good friend of vorst. spielberg was found hanging on a rope,the judge said it was suicide,yah hands and feet tied up. another one fled the country.so we are winning. they have less power and less access to the kids so their porn industry is suffering. yah.
i am going to give them sleepless nights these monsters who roam around here and they will all go away. we will force the corrupt legal system to take action and the corrupt rabbi’s turning the other eye to answer us for their crimes.
to blame the despicable beating of an old hareidi lady on the “modesty patrol” (aka cowardly religious thugs) sounds like a flat out cover up and a diversion to me
its not logical. its bizarre. **it sounds like a distraction from the REAL reason of this act of religious terrorism.**
everyone knew she ran a conversion school. that was not a secret in that small little shtetl world. of course she is going to have non jewish women coming thru her doors.
so to be accused and visciously beaten for being a missionary to non jews is absolutely ridiculous. if she was a missionary she would be targeting jews, not gentiles seeking to convert!
this cannot be the reason for the attack. use your heads. think this through.
why would someone want to hurt her?
-was it revenge?
-was someone trying to silence her?
-was someone trying to make an example of her?
-was someone to SEND A MESSAGE?
nevertheless, no matter what she may have done, or what negative activities she may have been involved in, or no matter what harm she may have done, or what crimes she may have committed…
…the darkness and negativity she may have brought about to our children, our city and our land cannot be any greater than the darkness & negativity brought about by men in masks beating an old lady to a bloody pulp
evil is evil. darkness is darkness. this was a sad day for nachlot.
this did nothing to clean up the streets and bring Light back to our city… it just brought more darkness. it blocked the Light of Hashem to all of us.
zvia, good questions and there are answers – sarah vorst was mixed up with pedophiles ad rapists like zalman cohen now in jail and the court case is on with the boys who he raped giving evidence. i am one of the many women he raped
yes a message was sent to all the helpers of the perverts like her, in her case for bucks. a loud message was sent.
we have now become chicago. a man murdered, a old woman smashed up. and this is what i said months ago.and it will get worse. the police are doing nothing to protect the children. – people are freaked out.and the perverts walk around laughing in our faces.
anyone who wants to read more about sarah vorst can see failed messiah which has gone into it in great detail and former students have spoken out about the abuse in her school.
i dont know what to think anymore. no punishment for crime and perverts arrrogant and protected by the law that is supposed to protect the most innocent amongst us. and those of us,like me who speak out are demonized.
something is going on here and people are afraid and covering up. raped babies and a old woman getting beaten up, i am with the babies. make your choice.
i am not a haradi. just concerned for the children – this woman caused great harm to many children, and women. what do you want. no legal system that operates here for anyone. so beyond corrupt. so what do you expect will happen.
if the police do not start to take an interest in this and stop helping the perverts as i hae seen with my own eyes, it will get worse ;
