NY yeshiva sued over 'sexual abuse'
By MICHAL LANDO, THE JERUSALEM POST, NEW YORK

A Brooklyn yeshiva and its head administrator are being sued for $10 million over alleged sexual abuse by a rabbi who taught there for several decades.

The lawsuit is the fifth to be filed against Yeshiva Torah Temimah and administrator Lipa Margulies alleging sexual abuse by Rabbi Yudi Kolko.

Kolko was arrested for a second time in September for allegedly molesting a boy at the yeshiva, and then released on bail. He was previously charged with four counts of sexual abuse, including two felony counts, and with endangering the welfare of a child.

"Despite the fact that Rabbi Margulies knew of allegations that Rabbi Kolko was sexually abusing children and was unfit to be a Rabbi or teacher at Torah Temimah, he took no action to protect the young male students at his school and continued to give Rabbi Kolko unfettered access to young children," the lawyers said in a press release.

1. Where is this yeshivah?

Can I get an address? We get tons of those mails begging for money from yeshivahs because my grandfather has contributed quite a bit before he passed away, and we still get those mails, even after he's been gone for 7 years. If I find it, I'll just write to them - "No thank you, I am not interested in contributing to your settlement for sexual abuse".
