UOJ
Paul stop being a disservice to the Jewish Community, using sexual allegation, for a personal vendetta. Sexual assault victims already in our community are sometimes afraid to speak out, associating them with this madman is the nail in the coffin, problems in the area will never come to light. Do to the difficulty proving an assault, and to the extent the victim claims, we sometimes don't know who to believe. With Paul throwing around names, no one will ever be trusted. Paul is putting this issue back in the closet, and not because he cares, but simply because there are yeshivos HE doesn't like.
Paul Mendlowitz has issues with Margolis, but he is wronging all of us to use sexual abuse as the vehicle to take revenge.
This is not about Margolis/Kolko/YTT. This about a systematic effort by Paul Mendlowitz, to destroy yeshivos as a whole. This was never about correcting a problem, this is about Mendlowitz and his issues with the rest of the world.

The fear of G-D
Rabbi Shafran's comments are very welcome in light of human tendency to blame G-D for all tragedy that befalls us.
However, other comments by well meaning Rabbis,translated into the English language from the Hebrew,talk about the lack of "FEAR" of G-D as the reason for this disaster.
While in the Hebrew,"Yiras Shomayim" means more meticulous observance of the mitzvos,in the English language,"FEAR" of G-D implies quite something else.
Perhaps certain explanations and proclamations of tragedies need not be translated,for the purpose of unity of Klal Yisroel.

Subject: The ban on Rabbi Slifkin's books
Yes, I am prepared to oppose them,and intend to. You are absolutely
right, most Rabbonim (especially in Eretz Yisroel) never read the
book. They do not read English, and rely on their shammosim [helpers].
Now for some of the American Rabbonim who signed, they generally will
sign anything sent to them from Eretz Yisroel. Just look at most of the
flyers that are in the newspapers, they are the same cast of characters.
I will be speaking to many Rabbonim and Rosh Yeshivas in the U.S.A. and
will work with them in a manner that will be a Kiddush Hashem.
This Mob Mentality must stop,especially when it comes to being marbetz
Torah to the masses.
Let us not forget,not too long ago,"prominent Rosh Yeshivas"wanted to
prevent the translating of the Gemmorah into the English language".

paul mendlowitz , 8/31/2003
let us try to understand what happenned-and fix ourselves!
unfortunately,we have a tendency of blaming other people for not getting it.perhaps as a community,we need to examine our communal deeds,as painful as it is.was our criticism done in a respectful and caring manner,or did we vent without being mindful of her feelings?many of her conservative views are embedded in the torah.did envy or jealousy have anything to do with our criticism?the talmud in "brochos" says ,when something bad happens we should examine "our deeds".an orthodox jew giving up the practice of mitzvohs,is definitely something bad that requires us to look at "our communal deeds"-the talmud does "not"however give us the license to examine and judge someone elses deeds.we definitely need to improve OUR ahavas yisroel-the love of our fellow jew,and all mankind!

Has Rav Belsky approved this blog?
UOJ =EMES said...
it is obvious that tuvyah and especially Mr. Rosh Yeshiva are jealous of UOJ. This blog reeks of jealousy. It's almost sad. MR RY present himself as acting for the sake of the klal, when all his effort does is illuminate his deep insecurity. He just wants to be UOJ.
====
whoever wrote this has a point
I am certain that all the comments being written in favor of UOJ are also being written by UOJ. Same style, same sentence structure, same warped logic. Mendlowitz, you gave yourself away by using those same stupid parodies of Orthodox personalities in your comments. Only you do that. You're dumber than you seem, which I would have thought not possible.
You have clearly shown that Mendlowitz is UOJ, and that he is a very troubled individual. But more important, you have shown that he is a liar, and cannot be trusted. He has been caught dead to rights spreading lies about someone because he was given an anonymous "tip" that the person is guilty. He falsely stated that his "private investigator" has confirmed the person's guilt, and that he knows it for a fact. The truth is that neither the "guilty" person nor the informant exist. The whole thing was a ploy, and UOJ fell for it, exposing himself as a dangerous liar willing to hurt people on a whim. We have proof positive that we cannot believe a word he says. If he is willing to make up fake emails here then why wouldn't he be willing to make up fake emails on his blog?
I think you should post a summary of the demented stuff that UOJ-Mendelowitz writes in his emails(some people may miss it in the long email files)
1) Brander is a totally fictitious name made up by a totally fictitious "informant" (Yossi Klein does not exist). Yet UOJ stated that his "investigator" confirmed that it is Brander person who is attacking him.
2) All this despite that fact that "Yossi Klein" told UOJ that he is not sure that Brander is the one invovled at all. UOJ answers that he found out for sure that Brander is the culprit.
3) Mendlowitz-UOJ also states that people have sent him emails and Brander's name keeps coming up over and over --- when in reality there is no Brander!
4) Mendlowitz-UOJ denies that he posted Brander's name on the UOJ blog when in fact he is the only one who thinks that Brander really exists.
I think you should make a clearer link to the pdf file. Many people do not notice the "HERE" link.
MR RY, why don't you a post a less sensationalistic, short bio, and just get to the point?
Please moderate
Wow. Now that is an amazingly ridiculous theory. I'm so amused. It sounds like something only UOJ could come up with (remember the "tuvya is shafran is plotsker is shmuel is editor" debacle?). I wonder who "anonymous" is?
For that matter, he has a poor grasp of history: "(and definitely not to any reasonable degree of certainty-- anyone remember ‘Primary Colors’??)."
Yeah. Joe Klein was forced to admit he was anonymous based on linguistic analyses done by time and newsweek.
Also, the strength of this claim is not in the linguistic analysis - its in the matching ip address. And the fact that UOJ cites r' mendlowitz up the wazoo. And that the two were "in contact" with each other about brander. This is all rather obvious once its pointed out.
Sorry, feivush, you're wrong.
Nothing wrong with blogging on Shabbos. We can even conduct e-commerce on Shabbos:
When Heinemann speaks, people listen," says Paul Mendlowitz, senior vice president of DiamondCard Processing Corp., a credit-card processing company in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.
Mr. Mendlowitz, who is Orthodox, and others countered that since most Web sites don't process transactions on Saturdays, no money changes hands, so the sites should be able to remain open. Israel Sendrovic, a retired executive vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, weighed in with the protestors, confirming that credit-card transactions over the Internet aren't generally processed Saturdays

I am not chubby, just big boned.
I am not always running, you just saw me when I was busy.
I moved from dere in Boro Pk, I am now by Fletbush.
All this blog has done is vindicate the reshaim who cover up molestation, yeshiva owners who close their eyes to overtly narcisistic homoerotic power plays by a certain rebbe against vulnerable high school bochurim, and all those who desire to maintain the corrupt status quo of crooked batei dinim, extortionary kashrus tactics, and spiritually abusive chumras that have done nothing for out spirituality, but everything to oppress and harass a generation of could've-been ehliche Jews.
This blogowner feels he has done the service of hashem here. If he only knew the delight the real reshaim have over this hollow victory. He has enabled evil and perpetuated the mockery frumkeit has come to deserve.
He's undermined all of us by giving the worst of the worst in our communities more ammunition to further actualize their brazen cynicism that enables the commercialization of kedusha and outsorucing of avodas hashem to those weak enough to be intimidated by fear, humiliation and the terror of not marrying off their children.
You've thouroughly distorted and perverted the concept of yashrus for those who aim to live a life of yashrus. Oy VaVoy if you're proud of what you've done. If only you knew. But you will have to live with and one day answer for the damage you have caused.
It is FAR FAR worse than that of a hubrisistic mechutziv.
This is funny. Mr. Rosh Yeshiva got caught in his own trap.
Here's how it worked. UOJ posts an over the top screed accusing Tuvya of being identical with Plotzker, Safran and myself, supposedly based on IP address tracking.
Someone anonymously posts a comment saying that you can't track IP addresses in blog comments and makes it seem like UOJ doesn't know what he's talking about. [FWIW, just because UOJ's site is hosted on blogspot doesn't mean that he's running stock blogger.com code on his page and in his comments.] Mr. RY takes the bait. He figures that UOJ may not really know about stuff like IP addresses and email headers. And he tries to prove that UOJ and FM are the same people.
Only by now, FM and UOJ have joined forces. Mr. RY made a critical strategic error. He was so convinced that UOJ and FM were the same person he never considered that they might be two people, now working together. All that they had to do was exchange some email account information. FM gives UOJ his email account login info and all UOJ has to do is set up another id in his email agent with the right login info and mail server addresses. Voila! Two different email accounts originating from the same IP address.
Mr. Rosh Yeshiva has been punked by UOJ and FM. Now UOJ's anonymity is really secure since FM clearly has no problem with running cover for him.
Ronnie,
You should have sent this UOJ, he could have used it to continue his game.
Mr. R.Y., a big yasher koach to you. You deserve all the credit, not Tuvya. You had the info from the start.
You should have sent this UOJ, he could have used it to continue his game.
You think every comment I post on his blog gets through moderation? I'll sometimes even post a comment for his eyes only, not for publication. For whatever reason, UOJ doesn't want to give my theory public display on his site but I'm confident, from clues in his posts, that my theory is not far from reality.
He's not playing a game and neither is FM. You guys have guaranteed UOJ's anonymity now.
Why should I send this to UOJ? He knows what he and FM are doing. They are the ones who set up Mr. Rosh Yeshiva to fall into their IP address trap.
Mr. RY has been punked. Tuvya has been punked. Only Tuvya won't allow my comments on how he got burned through his moderation. He's sitting on them, while allowing others to go through.
ROTFLMFFTO
Ronnie when did you see Elvis last?
Did the FBI kill Kennedy?
Was the Holocuast a hoax?
Notice how UOJ is keeping quiet trying to test baloon different theories until one sticks.
Ronnie
And I thought your an intelligent man. A Yiddeshe Kup.
This crappola is best viewed on Al Jazeera!!!
ROTL CFL
Ronnie,
But what's in it for UOJ and FM to have anyone believe that they are one and the same?
UOJ Sucks
You are right on the money!!
I think you should change your name to UOJ&Ronnie sucks
The two are desperately trying to convince us of their new baloney scam.
FYI
IP ADDRESSES CANNOT BE TRACKED ON BLOGGER.COM
Ronnie the IT GURU
I put you to task, I will post something on UOJ's blog.
Let's see him reveal my IP. (He moust prove that it's mine - proof like the smoking PDF file.
come on fellas,
Why did UOJ wish Belsky to drop dead?
According to Ronnie's theory he should thank him.
Hi just mad him even more anonymous.
Hmmmmmmmm...
FYI
IP ADDRESSES CANNOT BE TRACKED ON BLOGGER.COM
Ronnie the IT GURU
Actually I spent 6 years doing first and second level desktop support, local mainframe support, LAN management and administration (Novell and MSNT), and being the main IT technical resource for a DuPont site w/ approximately 800 workstations and a number of servers. I might not be a guru, but you don't have to explain to me where the any key is.
If you read what I wrote, you will see that UOJ deliberately wanted you folks to think he didn't know what he was talking about vis a vis IP addresses. He said something obviously wrong, about Tuvya, Shafran, Shlomo and myself being the same guy.
It actually doesn't matter if UOJ can track IP addresses or not but I think it's still possible. I'm not exactly backi b'HTML/XML
but from setting up templates on my own blogs, I can see no reason why UOJ can't be running some scripts that ping your workstation when you post a comment. Blogger is just a host and the comment feature is interactive.
Go ahead and think that FM is UOJ. As long as FM doesn't mind being falsely accused, UOJ's anonymity is safe.
You guys are convinced that UOJ is FM. How free must UOJ feel now that everyone thinks they know who he is.
Once again into the breech. As I read yet more names of the Kedoshim that have given their all sanctifying the name of G-d, I cannot help but wonder.WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU PEOPLE ON??? Far be it from me to judge, as that is clearly the realm of our Creator. I am just puzzled. Although I am concerned that I am not worthy to quote such Torah giants, to the likes of which this generation can only aspire, no less than Hillel paraphrased the entire Torah as "DO NOT DO UNTO OTHERS THAT YOU WOULD NOT HAVE THEM DO TO YOU". In the current vernacular, if you don't like what someone is doing to you, THEN DON'T DO IT. GET IT? That there exist those among the Jewish people who would ridicule a woman, who by all accounts is a sincere Baalat Tshuva, simply because it suits their own interests, gives me a glimpse as to why the Master of the Universe would have the earth open up and swallow the offenders. Those of you who insist that you are taking the moral high ground, and that this justifies your actions,should go back to Gan (kindergarten for the uninformed). You clearly missed something the first time. You should take a lesson from one of the greatest Torah minds (to say nothing of one of the kindest human beings to grace this planet)this world has seen, Rav Avraham Yitzchok Hacohen Kook Z"TL. Even after being publicly humilliated by those who disagreed with his (clearly Torah driven) desire to reach out to all Jews, he nonetheless extended his hand to those same individuals. For all those clamoring for an apology from UOJ, you clearly owe a public apology to this sincere woman who has found her path back to her Maker. REMEMBER? WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ROLE MODELS!!
One of the joys I experience here in Jerusalem, is seeing something that just would not happen in the States, or anywhere in Chutz Laaretz for that matter. I get to see (regularly) a woman dressed very modestly, with her elbows and knees covered, a mitpachat (skarf)on her head covering ALL of her hair, walking ARM IN ARM with another woman dressed in shorts and a tank top with her midriff exposed. THIS IS AHAVAT YISRAEL!
I admonish you (you know in your hearts who you are!), PLEASE TAKE YOUR HEADS OUT OF THE DARK WARM PLACES WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN KEEPING THEM, AND EXPERIENCE THE JOY THAT THE TORAH HAS TO OFFER BY ADHERING (sp?) TO ITS PRECEPTS. Now lets see if anyone out there can apologize for what has been done to this good woman. Even if you were not the offender.
mr & Tuvya are the greatest.Chazak U'varuch.Does anyone understand this guy Eli Greenwald?
1)He castigates Rabbis Margulies and Kolko and yet allows his own kid to remain in Torah Temimah under the afternoon (6th grade)administration of Y.Kolko.
2)accuses Camp Agudah of covering up molestation and sends his kid this summer to that camp.
Is he for real?What gives?
By the way his brother was honored at the recent Torah Temimah dinner and his mom was on the presidium for years.
JUST FOR THE RECORD
Kolko is not allowed on SilverLake grounds.He operates a totally private rental of parks which is not affiliated with any camp.
He has been relieved of all duties in connection with YTT which is k'neged halocha as he has not been found guilty of any offense. Allegations are just that and does not lose his chezkas kashrus.Obviosly we give more import to the drive-by-media and gossip mongers than the Shulchan Aruch.As far as that rosha from California is concerned I can't believe that his Zada, who was a pristine tzaddik,could have such a menuval as a descendent. Then again Ben Hirsch also comes from a prominant family.Does anyone have the quote about him from his uncle Hagaon Rav Feivel Cohen?
To Mrroshyeshiva( or whoever you are).
Todah Rabah for doing this. I knew feivy mendlowitz in his flatbush/sasregen days and he was a jerk/loser then; I heard about his escapades with his failing business and mafia dealings in the mid 90's and he was a jerk/loser then, and I've seen some of his stuff on his blog then. Still the same jerk/loser.
Tuvya seems to be closed so I am reposting here what I wrote about Ben Hirsch.
Hi - there is no reason to back down from anything you wrote about him. He is definitely the mail enabler of UOJ. Reb Feivel did say that he has no hashpa on Ben as he did not listen to his own parents. He is going threw a bitter divorce and hides all his money so he does not have to give any to his wife. His business practices are worse then Paul. Although I cannot pass on to you anything concrete I would not back down from anything you wrote. I doubt Reb Feivel would let himself be quoted. Reb Belsky a חד בדרא in this aspect.
Re UOJ's laying claim to Spinoza's heritage:
GIMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAABBBBREAK????
Spinoza? YOU? You ARE a megalomaniac, and an idiot to boot. Spinoza was excommunicated for writing some of the most intelligent and subversive political philosophy in history. Ande better yet, he did so in the open, without a nom de plumme. Have you ever even HEARD of A Theologico-Political Treatise before this article, let alone read anything in it?
Unlike Baruch, you are a semi-literate fraud with no new ideas, hiding perpetually behind a mask while claiming to be comfortable with your identity being outed.
You are an ego-driven joke.
AND to make matters worse - you are a liar - not exactly a fitting heir to the hero of the enlightenment.
Reminds me of an old joke - a small town apikores comes to warsaw to meet the world famous warsaw apikores and learn from his heresy. He is directed to the man's house, and finds him on his way out to the mikva. confused, he follows assuming that the man will pee in the water or otherwise defile it, but the warsaw apikores instead immerses with tremendous kavvana. Then he proceeds to shul, davens extensively, and sits and learns torah for the rest of the morning. On his way to perform bikkur cholim in the afternoon, the small town apikores is overcome - "I dont understand - you're supposed to be the famous warsaw apikores - why are you doing all this??? I eat chazzer on yom kippur, sleep with a prostitute in shul, and work on shabbbos! But you - you're keeping all these halachos!! What gives?" So the warsaw apikores replies - "the difference between me and you, tatteleh, is that I'm an apikores, but you're a SHEIGETZ!"
Vhameivin yavin.
Feivy Mendlowitz used to live in Flatbush on Ave. N between east 19th and Ocean Avenue (right next to where Yeshiva Kaminetz is) and ironically davened in sasregen. Coincidently his mother lived on the same block as R’ Kolko (until a few years ago). His son attended Torah Temimah for maybe 1 or 2 years. His nephews were there throughout elementary school. He moved to LA in the early 80's and was in the jewelry/diamond business. His wealth was all from his wife’s side, who originally came from Montreal. They lived in a beautiful house in Hancock Park.
They were so wealthy that as a gift for his wife’s birthday he surprised her with a brand new Jaguar.
Over the years his business dealings turned sour and he lost a lot of money filed for bankruptcy and even had some bad business dealings in Israel where he was shot at and was threatened with his and his family's life. In fact his son who was scheduled to learn in the Mir had to cancel his plans and return back to the current yeshiva he was attending (Ner Yisroel).
His bad business dealings caused a lot of marital problems in his life and he separated from his wife around 1995. They were separated for a while and there divorce was pending on splitting up of what remained of there assets.
He has a reputation in Beverly Hills as a lowlife till this day (though he tries hard to cover it up). I have alot more to say about him, but I will spare his innocent family the agony.
Mr.
Your motivations are correct, though a bit too harsh on him (and his wife).
I agree with you that he is a lowlife. I have copied the pdf file (thank you for doing it and exposing him) and am giving it to a cousing who is a big macher in Ger. Let them get a hold of this fraud.
JUST FOR THE RECORD
Kolko is not allowed on SilverLake grounds.He operates a totally private rental of parks which is not affiliated with any camp.
___________________________________
LIES!! Call Lake Compounce and they will tell you that Camp Silver Lake rented the park on 7/20 and again for 8/9. There is no "private rental company".
If true, why is R' Feivel discussing Ben Hirsch with anyone?
Whose business is it?
Do you know what his business practices are?
Mr. Investigator,
Nice of you to tell us that Paul is a low life?
Baed on what? MArrying a Baalas Teshuva and not being oiver on Negiah during the entire engagement period???
Having independent views???
You are out to destroy him.
Let us know all those terrible things. I think you are a big bluffer
Mr. Rosh Yeshiva,
Please tell us a little about yourself. Age, background, affiliations, etc.
"Nice of you to tell us that Paul is a low life?
Baed on what? "
I callenge you to ask anyone who knows him personally or through business. Dont base this on some internet postings. Ask those who know him. Get a hold of his family members. Believe me, I know him well. They dont make lowlifes bigger than this.
UOJ is someone who has made serious allegations against individuals and institutions. These allegations all rest on him being a credible person. Is this in fact the situation? Is he credible? I cannot answer this with 100% certainty, but the little bit of evidence does not stand in his favor.
1) Consider: His hyperbolic pronouncements (e.g., getting 1030 comments unprecedented in blog history—Jewish or otherwise; receiving 23,000 unopened e-mails, etc.) reek of megalomania and incredibility. Please read my Response: Part III (7/20) for more details.
2) Consider: We don’t know about most of the institutions that he has accused of molestation (one does have a ring of credibility based on outside verification). Yet, I have inside information regarding one particular institution (Waterbury) where he publicly accused the yeshiva based only on comments from one disgruntled talmid and UOJ knew about this before going public.
3) Consider: He has incorrectly accused several people of being Tuvya. He accused Avi Shafran, made disparaging remarks about him, and was wrong! He accused Paul Plosker, made disparaging remarks about him, and again was wrong! It is notable that in both of these situations he has failed to apologize or erase these accusations despite repeated pleas to do so (note how quick he erased any reference to the "endtuvya" blog as soon as he saw hints about his own identity there).
Remember, these are examples that I am personally aware of (see my earlier postings for additional examples). This is likely just the tip of the iceberg.
Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.
UOJ being a nut with an agenda (if he is) does not mean we do not have a major problem with burying our heads in the sand every time we see a molestor.
De Nial aint just a river in Egypt.
A broken clock maybe right twice a day, but you'll never know when.
Question: Why would he purposely lie (or exaggerate)?
After thoroughly analyzing 17 months of his postings, I am confident in stating that he has ulterior motivations. Again, I refer you to my Response: Part III where I document his history of hating yeshivos and his desire to embarrass them and their leaders. I quote from that response
” I have a question. Molestation occurs in camps—but UOJ is silent. Molestation occurs in families—but UOJ is silent. Molestation occurs through strangers—but UOJ is silent. Why is this? Isn't he a crusader for victims of molestation? Is it possible that this is because it doesn’t fit into his blogging goal? Is it possible that he is a man who has been very burnt by the yeshiva system who is hell bent on getting revenge?”
It appears obvious that his goal is to embarrass and to destroy our leaders and institutions. This has little to do with the molestation issue and more to do with his personal history and his own (megalomaniac) personality style.
I would not be suprised if we find out he is cheating on his wife.
You know him well?
Who are you?
Again, give us concrete proof.
Great work. You put the imbecile in his place.
Please dont insult me; I lost weight and I amn't chubby.
Whoever you are, you have the wrong guy. I don't have time all day to post and moderate comments. I'm a legitimate businessman with a wife and family to raise.

I asked my father who was an old torah vodaas talmid what he remembers about feivel (Paul) mendlowitz. He said that there were two feivy's and he thinks that we are talking about "motty's feivy." he doesnt remember him as standing out very much. Reb shrage feivel's son motti was on the quiet side and his son Feivy was also as far as my father could remember. He remembers that he married into money and lost touch after that.
I asked him what he tought about him and his blog. My father didnt know about the blog when I described it to him he said. WHo knows, sometimes these quiet guys who noone listens to will do anything to get attention
Vicki Polin and Anonymity
The infamous Vicki Polin of Awareness Center has been trying to keep herself anonymous while publishing unsubstained allegations about all kinds of people. She lives in Baltimore but her real home address is unknown since the Awareness Center uses a PO box (P.O. Box 65273, Baltimore, MD 21209). Her phone number is a cell phone (443-857-5560) registered to T-Mobile (via telcodata.us). Her email address is VickiPolin@aol.com (which is probably her AIM name as well like many other AOL accounts). All of the data above has been obtained from the website of the Awareness Center at the time of writing.
If you look at Wikipedia's record of changes for her entry, you will find two IP addresses doing a lot of changes: 71.248.75.46 and 71.248.85.87. Both of these addresses are focused only on her entry and some related entries. Using MaxMind we can see that both are in Baltimore and both are Verizon. Whether these are actually hers is upto discussion.
The WHOIS record of The Awareness Center's website points to another phone number - 410-358-6624. According to TelcoData, this is a Verizon land line which we can assume is her home or business number, not cell phone. This number does not appear in any phone directories except the Baltimore Eruv Book.
According to ZabaSearch, Vicki's real name may be Susan Victoria Polin and she was born in 1959. This is confirmed partially by Intellius. According to the tools provided by SteveMorse.org her birthday is Jun 28, 1959.
Now for the clincher - the home address. According to the Jewish Week article about her, she lives in "an apartment in a fervently religious section of Baltimore". According to the Jewish Times, she is an "an Upper Park Heights resident". According to the same article Ms. Polin has been living in Baltimore since 2001.
As the old saying goes - "follow the money". The Awareness Center is a corpotation which must be registered with some state in order to be legal. A check of State of Maryland corporate records yields one corporation with this name that is registered by Victoria Polin. The home address is included in state's public records as well (no idea why a PO box was not used). The address is:
VICTORIA POLIN
3111 BANCROFT ROAD, APT. F
BALTIMORE, MD 21215
This is part of the Cross Country Manor apartment complex which has many kollel families from the Ner Israel Rabbinical College living there - the same school viciously attacked by Ms. Polin without any proof. I am sure these families will be happy to greet their new neighbour.
Ironic eh?
P.S. Additionally, the initial articles of incorporation for the Awareness Center list four people as members of the board (on page 4): Victoria Polin, Na'ama Yehuda, Rabbi Yosef Blau and Michael Salamon.
I just checked with YTT and was told THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY DID NOT RENT OUT THE PARK UNDER THEIR NAME OR SIVERLAKE OR ANY OTHER AFFILIATION.WILLTHE PERSON PUTTING UP THESE LIES CEASE IMMEDIATELY FOR THE WELLBEING OF YOUR WIFE AND

On the ‘Outing’ of UOJ
So, for a while now, we’ve had an anonymous blogger posting anonymous allegations about rabbis in the ultra-Orthodox world. Some say that Un-Orthodox Jew should be credited with the recent revelations regarding Rabbi Yehuda Kolko; I don’t. Some say he’s done things to help other victims; I don’t.
And in what is sure to become the premier indication of how absolutely lacking in credibility so much of the Jewish conversation is, another anonymous blogger claims to have outed this anonymous blogger, citing information from yet another anonymous blog that has a link to an anonymously-posted document. With this information, this cadre of anti-UOJ individuals (if it truly is a cadre, and not simply one presenting multiple online aliases) is suggesting that others believe their claims. And, whether or not the individual named (the allegation is that he’s ” Feivel (Paul) Mendlowitz—also known as Paul Manilow”) actually is UOJ, certainly that individual and UOJ will be getting a lot of grief as a result of this “outing,” and there’s no one but UOJ to blame, for helping to set this extremely poor standard by which allegations are assumed to be true.
It’s not even worth examining the evidence posted; it is no evidence, as we have no clue as to the veracity or provenance of the claims made therein. And the same can be said for everything from UOJ. Perhaps no brighter line can be drawn to show just how poor the information UOJ claims to provide actually is. If there’s any self-examination to this fellow, this incident will show him exactly how shoddy his attempts to expose certain information actually are, and how much their lack of credibility, falsifiability, and accountability truly harm the pursuit of truth on the extremely pressing issue of rabbinic abuse.
All along, we’ve read UOJ asserting what he’s doing is for the victims. After this episode, he must know that his attempts at assistance are truly no help at all, and the only excuse for what he’s doing is his self-gratification.
A while ago, one commenter claiming to be UOJ left a message here; along came another claiming to be the true UOJ, leaving a message claiming the first was produced by an impostor. My response then was, “How am I supposed to know which of you is the real one?” And, truly, there is no way for me to know. Just as there’s no way to know how authentic the information behind this “outing” is, and no way to know how authentic any of UOJ’s claims about various rabbis are. And we’re much worse off because of it.
"There are cases, which in 90% of the times are taken care of properly (it's always a problem and will be a problem because most kids innocently don't understand and/or are afraid to speak up)."
Anybody who believes that is just incredibly out of touch.

Regarding Silver Lake, I was the one who posted it. My son is supposed to be going on this trip tomorrow to Lake Compounce. When I found out that Kolko has something to do with this trip, I called Lake Compounce and simply asked "which camp or organization reserved the park for August 9". The woman answered, "Camp Silver Lake". At the time, I didn't even know that it was owned by YTT. I thought simply that Kolko is now working for a new camp. Why would Kolko rent out the park under Camp Silver Lake if he has nothing to do with them anymore? Draw your own conclusions.

mr. rosh reshiva,
would you know if the pravda neeman site (parody on the yated neeman newspaper) was also UOJ's blog ?
I called Paul at work. His seceratry didnt let me through
No one can possible believe that all the names posted by UOJ are guilty of abuse. It's just a mish-mash, and there's so much stupidity, that even if someone is named there (at this point), I don't even think the guy should be embarrased -- it's so obvious that so much of it is all BS.

Chicken!
Someone should make a list of all Mendlowitz's lies --- starting with the false accusations on the identity of Tuvya, the false accusation against Waterbury Yeshiva, and the false accusation against Brander, which he claims was "conformed" by his Private Investigator.
His motives? The oisvorf has created his own version of the National Enquirer --- hes finnaly found a way to get attention in this world. He is one sick puppy.
All I can tell you is that I learned with his son in Ner Israel in the 1990s, and he is a wonderful human being, with a wife and young children of his own. A talmid chacham too, I would go so far to say.
If UOJ is indeed Paul Mendelowitz, then Mendelowitz will get his recompense. Surely we can trust God to do that. But nothing can excuse the collateral damage everyone is doing to his son and other innocent family members. Remember that.
Is he kleinman?
The only person doing collateral damage to his family is Feivel Mendlowitz himself. Now that he has been proven a slanderer and willing to falsify evidence (such as the confirmation of a Private Investigator) the public must know about it so that they can dismiss the dirt that he claims he has uncovered. The rabim is entitled to protect themselves from predators like him. Any collateral damage to his family is on his head.
But nothing can excuse the collateral damage everyone is doing to his son and other innocent family members.
WHY DID YOU MAKE HIM DO IT PAUL??? WHY????????????? WHY???????????
Do you remmeber those words Paul? Are they familiar??? You used them as your "excuse" for what you wrote about Rav Eisenmann. Except instead of "Paul" you wrote "Shragy."
But this time there is real proof that the predator in question is a real danger.
What goes around comes around, you lowlife.
I called Paul as well. Keep calling rabosai and maybe he'll see the high cose of his foul blog.
The best posts here are the ones that say "where's the proof." In other words, those guys mean "I dont know what an IP address is" since if they knew anything about them, you've got the best proof around.
I love those emails. UOJ was like a fish-you give them some line and then you reel em in. BEAUTIFUL
"The only person doing collateral damage to his family is Feivel Mendlowitz himself. "
=========
This is the typical krum gemorah logic that yeshivas traif up Jewish heads with today. My thanks to the collective you for confirming every bit of disgust I have for the swarming buzzards harrasing your accused.
If you thought UOJ was vile then look in the mirror.....you've become everything that you hated about him and more.
And last, in your own accusations, UOJ acted without a heter. Is your repugnant behavior what your holy rebbeim and holy daas torah gave a heter for?
I must congratulate you on a job well done. CHAZAK VEAMETZ!!!
Now that we know who he is we should be able to understand his twisted agenda and motives.
(I think all comments mentioning his grandfather should be deleted immediately.)
UOJ got what he gave to others. Frankly, a man with such raw, unbridled hatred for Hashem and his Torah do not deserve the notoriety he enjoyed. May he learn his lesson and do teshuva.
Maybe R' Lipa did something to hurt him during the Torah Vodaas debacle?
LONG LIVE UOJ !!!
How free must UOJ feel now that everyone thinks they know who he is.
Ron,
I can bet you hands down, that Feivel the Menuval did not have IP addresses visible on his blog.
As for him feeling free. Anybody reading his blog lately sees that he is going through a serious crisis. He's acting extremely desperate.
And quite frankly, this dumb defense you and him are trying to work out?
I don't even think Bruce Cutler would give it a chance.
Stop making a fool of yourself, you really are smarter than that.
The man who has protected a child molester for all these years you are calling "Reb" Lipa. Knock it off!
Stop making a fool of yourself, you really are smarter than that.
Thank you for the compiment. Good is good and smart is smart and they aren't the same thing. I'd give up a few raw IQ points for some self-control.
Spoofing an email account is simple. Too many things don't make sense. Why would UOJ, paranoid about his identity, fall for something like this? Why would he claim to have verified the existence of a fictional nemesis?
Perhaps I'm being too clever by half, but the only way I can make sense of it is if UOJ and FM are indeed two different people who are now working together.
I don't even think Bruce Cutler would give it a chance.
Perhaps, but it introduces plausible reasonable doubt in the mind of the public. If my reading of the situation is so far off the mark, why did Tuvya spike my comment laying out how it may have been a doublecross? Why has he stopped allowing comments?
Thank you Mr. R.Y. for exposing him and thank you for removing the nasty comments about his wife. The more you stick to the facts, the better off you are.
Please see Yeshurun chelek 15 for a comprehensive discussion of the abuse issue by such notables like The posek hador, Rav Elyashiv, Rav Feivel Cohen, Rav Moshe Halberstam, etc.
Jews are dying in Eretz Yisrael, either as missile targets or while defending their fellow Jews.
I beg of you all, tomorrow please go out of your way and be kind to a fellow Jew, ideally a different flavor Jew than you.
Didn't Hillel say that kol haTorah kulo can be summed up by not doing those things to others that we would not want done to ourselves?
Is the behavior of those who want to destroy UOJ consistent with what Hillel taught?
Is Mr. Rosh Yeshiva - Rabbi Kleinman?
He looks stupid by posting about Rav Yisroel Belsky, shlita. He is obviously showing that it hurts. He'd be best off ignoring it.
Besides, noone takes him seriously. He has badmouthed all Rabbonim (except for Reb Shrage Feivel)
wowwowwowwow.

Comment censored by Mendlowitz
You look stupid, Paul.
Give it up!
Everyone knows that he has backbone and is respectable. He is a unique voice in todays generation.
Everyone knows that you are doing this because his guys got you!!
You lost all credibility with attacking Rabbonim ever since you opened your big mouth for such greats as Rav Elchonon and Rav Shteinman.
Mendlowitz is a goner. You lost.
If you refuse to post this, it goes to R.Y. and Tuvya together will all my future postings.
"Didn't Hillel say that kol haTorah kulo can be summed up by not doing those things to others that we would not want done to ourselves?"
Say, like exposing people's sins in public out of a self righteous quest to make my neighbor's financial morals better?
How about my neighbors' non-existent sins?
Mocking my neighbors' religion.
If hillel were alive today, even he'd chase UOJ out with a stick. Shamai would kill him.
PS: don't worry, they'd leave you alone - you're misguided, UOJ's the hopeless rasha.
I beg of you all, tomorrow please go out of your way and be kind to a fellow Jew, ideally a different flavor Jew than you.

Amen Ronnie! And please do not use the term "frummies" anymore in your comments, and when you want to give tochecha, please give it with love and sincerity. People will take you a lot more seriously then. By the way, I saw your Rokem webiste, you do beautiful work.
"why did Tuvya spike my comment laying out how it may have been a doublecross? Why has he stopped allowing comments? "
I like this one Ronnie.
If this is one reason to think that Tuvya is afradi, what does it say about mendelowitz's CENSORING?!
In his paranoia, he's censoring almost every comment being posted (with the exception of you and himself).
"Why would UOJ, paranoid about his identity, fall for something like this? Why would he claim to have verified the existence of a fictional nemesis?"
The most clever criminals make fatal mistakes.
The Unibomber in his cabin in Montana also thought he wouldn't be caught. In the end some letters he wrote to his brother where tracked down to him (that was in the days before ip addresses and pdf files.)
Alright, nuff already!

Mr. RY,
Have some mercy on me. All my friends are deserting me.
First Gil Student at hirhurim bans me
http://unorthodoxjew.blogspot.com/2005/06/banned-by-hirhurim.html
then frummer writes this:
When OUJ first started back in May 2005, he used to try to use my blog as somewhere to leave his nasty comments so as to attract attention to his blog.
I was very much against his nasty and vile comments and had to delete many of them.
In the end, he left my blog and stopped giving me trouble.
I have not kept up with his blog, but have dipped in enough to see and appreciate the damage which he is doing.
Whilst I cannot be considered to be one of the “really frum” bloggers, I am decent enough to know that what OUJ is doing is wrong wrong wrong.
I STRONGLY SUPPORT YOUR ATTEMPTS TO RID THE BLOGSPHERE OF THIS SCOURGE AND HOPE YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL.
May Hashem help you bring about the downfall of this nasty twisted individual.
Then canonist writes an ugly post about me:
http://www.canonist.com/?p=1152
Dont I have any friends left?
The Editor/Ronnie is a sad psycho case in desperate need of attention.Let him be, he has hit the 'babble' button in his 'cracked' up brain and cannot stop.
Funny how he has 'brilliantly' tried to spin that UOJ has 'tricked' everybody working together with Paul/Feivy,and still remains 'anonymous'.Only problem is that he does not explain why Paul would agree to be the fall guy for the 'real' UOJ.
Ronnie, keep up the babble.Throw in a couple of 'frummy' comments.
"Why would UOJ, paranoid about his identity, fall for something like this? Why would he claim to have verified the existence of a fictional nemesis?"
Because Paul Manilow is computer illiterate, doesn't know a thing about tracking an IP, and was only too eager to know who IDed as Uoj.
Uoj is Ronnie's idol, look at the way he wrote "not every thing I comment on uoj's blog gets posted I even write some comments for only uoj to see and not post." You can't expect Ronnie to understand uoj is a bigger fool than anyone thought.
OMG!
You's people fell into Mr Rosh Y's trap.
He, Yossi and Tuvya share emails (and Adobe Acrobat). They lured you all into this.
Now Mr RY is safer than ever!
Ronnie/Bozo will fill you in on the details.
I am offended that someone would even stoop to using my name. I cursed noone, and only asked that Jews act in a responsible manner. I never stooped to STEALING someone's good name. I have had this name since my Brit. It is unfortunate that you do not have the stones to post under your own name. How about a little honesty. After all, Elul is two weeks away.
I thought that the first Yeshayahu was a fraud. It did not sound like him. Thanks for clarifying.
To the real Yeshaiyahu Shlomo,
We all can tell that's not your style of writing and that you are not combative. Tuvya tried to do the same thing to me yesterday by attributing comments made by someone else and pasting my name to them. Don't take it personally, I'm sure they mean well.
I called Paul and his secretary transfers me but of course he disconnects the call. Since it was obvious that she didnt know about this blog or the UOJ, I decided to fill her in and gave her the web addresses. I'm actually laughing since she seemes pretty eager to check it out. At least his office will now know the nut he is.
Mr RY:
I have one question. The email exchange was at the end of July, beginning of August. Yet, you already exposed him as Paul Manilow on July 22 or July 23. Did you know in advance but only bait Paul afterward?
And what would you have done had he not taken the bait - would you have posted without proof (in reality you had already posted without proof earlier in July)?
And how did you know so long ago that it was Paul?
When did you find out? July?
June?
May?
Why did you then wait before exposing him, if he was continuing to slander so many people?
These are all important questions,
PLEASE RESPOND.
The Editor/Ronnie is a sad psycho case in desperate need of attention.
Actually I prefer to sit in the back row of the shul. As for my mental status, the official diagnosis is narcissitic impairment with some psychopathic behaviors. I'm not sure if that makes me "psycho case" or not.
Let him be, he has hit the 'babble' button in his 'cracked' up brain and cannot stop.
Please explain, bringing down relevant citations, the halachic rationale for slandering me as a crack user. I've never taken crack or any other preparation of free base cocaine in my life.
Funny how he has 'brilliantly' tried to spin that UOJ has 'tricked' everybody working together with Paul/Feivy,and still remains 'anonymous'.Only problem is that he does not explain why Paul would agree to be the fall guy for the 'real' UOJ.
FM had already been outed by Mr. RY by the time the email "sting" began.
Ronnie, keep up the babble.Throw in a couple of 'frummy' comments.
It's frummie, not frummy. Tell me, you don't think that large segments of the 'frum' community are more concerned with social conventions than they are with spritual matters?
Note to Enoch's einickle: See. It isn't so much UOJ as the behavior of his opponents that encourages me to engage in this debate. UOJ has many flaws, as we all do (well, except for the folks who get upset when I call them frummies), but he's honest enough to allow comments and posts there that criticize him. It's the behavior of Jews who think of themselves as religious that I find most distressing. Of course, though, they don't get it.
Folks, Yeshayahu Shlomo has posted nothing but Ahavat Yisrael, and some of the folks who get upset when I call them frummies feel the need to tar him. Would that we all had YS' middot.
Amen Ronnie! And please do not use the term "frummies" anymore in your comments, and when you want to give tochecha, please give it with love and sincerity. People will take you a lot more seriously then. By the way, I saw your Rokem webiste, you do beautiful work.
Thank you for your sincere mussar. Based on your comments and the Ahavat Yisrael demonstrated here by Yishayau Shlomo, I will trying to avoid rancor in my posts. I wish there was a better word than Frummie but it accurately describes how they are most interested in being 'frum' than acting authentically Jewish. I don't want to include all orthodox Jews, or even all chareidim in that group, so frummie is my way of distinguishing those that walk the talk and those who simply talk.
Thank you for your kind comments about my embroidery. As today is TU B'Av and there are many Jewish weddings, in case you need some wedding gifts, one of the things I enjoy doing is taking the custom monogram from invitations or benchers and embroidering it on challah covers and n'tilat yadayim towels. I'm not sure if the email link on the main page is my current one, though, but you can contact me @ autothreads@sbcglobal.net.
All of you ppl are just continuing the mess that OUJ and many others are complaining about.
This disfunctional life and methods of the "yeshivaish" sect.
I am orthodox, have a beard, I'm kosher and Shomer Shabbat but I must say, the culture we are promoting is not healthy for anyone.
It hurts the kids who grow up jaded by the corruption of our leaders, banning simple things like internet(in fact creating a yetzer hora for the internet), bugs in the water which we have drunk for 100 years and so on.
(Baalei Ruach Hakodesh who visited Brooklyn for many years, rabbis who have siata d'shmaya about impure things never said a thing about the water, does that not say something??)
It hurts adults who cant have real relationships with their friends because they pray in the wrong shul or wear the wrong color shirt,
We can steal and rob and still get kavod because we drive a lexus
Shidduchim has become a "crisis" because we hate everyone except ourselves
We allow molestors in our communities because we are afraid to oust them ourselves, instead leaving the decision up to a POWERLESS beit din
POWER TO THE PEOPLE WHO STAND UP FOR JUSTICE
a story:
A business associate was refusing to pay me rightly earned money, he said to me "take me to beit din" knowing that he would never have to pay in that case..
At that moment I made up my mind that I would not go that route, if it went that far I'm taking him to court, the beit din has NO POWER in these times.
I guess he got the feeling of the direction I was going and agreed to pay me in FULL on the spot.
A beit din is not a get out of jail free ticket,
Torah is not a "lifestyle"
The Beit Hamikdash was destroyed for SINAT CHINAM
It's up to us, the "regular people" to bring Mashiach and the Guelah people, our leaders are failing us.
PS. who cares who OUJ is! just listen to the message instead of perpetuating
Time for Plan B. UOJ/Paul is not shutting up.

This is a copy from another blog that might answer your questions
Question: How sure am I that I have the right man?
I am 100% sure!
One week ago I posted that I was 99% sure. At that point:
a) I had clearly analyzed the postings of UOJ and had matched them with a detailed life history of the alleged UOJ—an exact match.
b) I had some IP addresses from the general location of the alleged UOJ.
c) Even more, someone (who I am in contact with via e-mail, though I don’t know his identity) had been e-mailing UOJ with this alleged identity and various demands of what must be stopped on his blog. His responses to these e-mails were exactly what one would expect when one is correct (e.g., maybe I should throw in the towel?; what would happen if I expose myself?). Lets be honest, if someone had e-mailed UOJ telling him that he knows that UOJ is Dick Cheney, he would most likely be ignored.
However, this was not 100%. Based on the psak of Rav Belsky, we needed additional proof. During the past week a large number of e-mails were obtained both from UOJ and from the alleged UOJ with an exact same IP match and the exact same writing styles. This large PDF file was shared with experts in the field and confirmed (and will soon be publicly available). There is no doubt that they are one and the same.
but he's honest enough to allow comments and posts there that criticize him.
Ronnie,
You’re getting funnier than Jay Leno.
Saw what about Mendelowits ALLOWING posts that criticize him?
Look at his blog these days, barely two or three comments critical of him. (Not too many comments to begin with...)
Not a words about the whole Mendelowits issue (hey, why not? after all it's not him, since when does he care?)
WHERE O' WHERE ARE ALL THE "VICTIMS" THAT USED TO POST ON UOJ?
WE USED TO HAVE A DOZEN A DAY, NOW WE'RE DOWN TO ZERO!!!!
WHAT HAPPENED?
(JUST WATCH HOW "THEY" WILL JUMP BACK INTO ACTION AS SOON AS THIS POST IS READ BY PAUL - FEIVEL!!!!
WHAT A FRAUD
The email trace looks pretty impressive if it isn't simply made up (very possible and forwarding it wouldn't prove anything). The tactics were utterly disgusting. The concept of attacking the messenger of truth is evil. The attribution of this to Rav Belsky is disappointing. The attacks on Paul/Feivel are baseless and nauseating. Ronnie's svara is compelling because UOJ sounds way too temimusdik in those emails. But my main point is this: WHO THE HELL CARES WHO IS UOJ? It makes no difference in the world who he is. Your mission is senseless. To do the world a real favor, please tell us who you are (Y Kleinman?) and who works with you. We need to know as much as possible about the enablers. Thank you.

Remember, do something nice to another Jew today.
Tomorrow, too.
After hearing about the UOJ and the alleged revelation of his identity, I have read the posts by the UOJ and the posts on this bog. My understanding here is simple - The UOJ posts items that are clearly reflective of his position on torah observing Jew. (He disdains the yeshiva world). His bashing of gedolim is nothing but the ranting of a madman. The author of this blog is one of the same. I say this to the author of this blog. UOJ did not push any of his rants into your face or in the face of anyone. I don’t see a need to punish a individual who is maybe innocent. We know UOJ is nuts, so stay away from his website. Mr. Rosh yeshiva needs to take a step back. Your ranting is possibly destroying an innocent person’s life. Your PDF is no proof. I can simply manipulate and edit the PDF any way you want. I judge and view both of you (Mr. Rosh yeshiva and UOJ) and ranting maniacs. Both who destroy people and their families for some twisted reasoning. I recommend people stay away from these sites for the sake of klal yisroel. I will do the same.
nebach said...
Considering that Yossi Kleinman is away for the summer with no computer, It would be quite a miricle for him to be Mr. Rosh Yeshiva!!!
He also has no internet or e-mail, though I wish he did, It would make business easier.
=============
But nebach, I don't understand...I thought all good Catholics....err, I mean chareidi Jews, believe their infallible Rabbonim can perform miracles. Are you a disbeliever?
Better not be.....you know what we do to people who don't believe the same things we do around here. Not to mention what we'll do to your children's reputations if they even DARE think about getting married.
Comments to DovBears post about UOJ
http://www.haloscan.com/comments/dovbear/115513636214520908/
Paul manilow...LOL. You got hime Mr. RY.. WAY to go.
Folks, be realistic.
You can say whatever you want about Mr RY and his shady tactics. Bottom line, the secret is out UOJ IS PAUL period.
All this horseshi- about ip spoofing and PDF faking is ridiculous and stupid.
To all you nutjobs who believe that Mr RY fabricated this stuff or that UOJ "trapped" Mr RY, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE (or is it coffee?! - just because your paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!)
Feivish posted some nonsense about Shea Fishman, viciously mocking his health and age.
This menuval is still doing his nasty nasty. Though, he did stop dissing rabbonim. (Thanks to RY?)
Whatever the case, this wacko seems to think he's still running the show. The only problem is, there is no audience!
Everybody in cyberspace these days seems to be more occupied with UOJ's identity, than with the sexual molestation problem.
Perhaps Manilow should take a rest? Chill a bit? Take a breather?
(Then come back all with some more Kolko material...)
Nah.. Can't happen, the fire (on Fischman and Margulis) is burning within him!!!!!
How sad.
I have real proof that UOJ is not the person who is presented in this site. Nebach to the people who started this site and to any rov who allowed this. I spoke to rav belsky and he did agree that he said it was ok to publish and put down the person responsible for UOJ. I don’t believe that Feivel is the person. He has made his enemies and now someone is framing him.
I was at a wedding tonight and happened to sit next to an old acquaintence, *Reuven (Robert) Moskowitz, who knows a thing or two about computers, the internet, IP addresses, computer security and identifying hackers. He told me a couple of things relevant to this discussion. To begin with, there is no question that someone operating a blog can track IP addresses of the computers accessing the site, including those hosted on blogger.
He also told me some very interesting things. Concordance analysis of text is a very reliable method of identifying someone. This doesn't analyze writing styles, but rather relies on the fact that people use a fairly limited vocabularly. This is how the publishers of some malicious computer viruses were identified. So it might be possible, to compare known samples of FM's and UOJ's writings. However, in one case they were only able to narrow it down to four possible suspects. The reason why they could not go any farther is that these four were working together and shared so much information that they used virtually the same vocabularies. In other words, if FM and UOJ are working together, textual analysis may be useless.
The most interesting thing Reuven told me is that there is no such thing as anonymity on the internet. He said that the only way to post anonymously would be to use an anonymizer site that is outside the reach of US treaties, i.e. third world sites that cater to kiddie porn characters.
*Robert Moskowitz is a senior technical director at TruSecure Corporation and active in the IETF and IEEE 802.11. He has been a member of the Internet Architecture Board, the IETF Application Area Directorate, and the FNCAC. He co-authored RFC 1918, Address Allocation for Private Internets and co-chaired the IPsec working group.
To begin with, there is no question that someone operating a blog can track IP addresses of the computers accessing the site, including those hosted on blogger.
Ronnie my dear,
Please, I know a thing or two about computers as well. I'm not as brave (or as stupid) as you are, so I won't post my family history, sin confessions and shul members in public.
Now, while I agree with you that it is "possible" to track blogger IP addresses, blogger.com does not offer that service (I have my own blog @blogspot.com, and no IP addresses are visible whatsoever, tech support claims it's not possible) and even if you were using third party IP tracking software, it would still be next to impossible to actually use xxxxx.blgspot.com as the domain name.
Furthermore, if UOJ had been tracking IP addresses he wouldn't make that goofy mistake of accusing you, Paul and Tuvya of being the same. (And don't tell me that this too was a "setup")
So, with all due respect, the more you try selling this laughable theory, the more foolish you sound. The evidence are so clear, you gotta be Judge Alito to screw things up so bad.
I suggest you just get back to your "regular" ranting which I happen to find quite entertaining. Stop with this nonsense, you know better.
The puzzle fits so good, it’s amazing!
Paul Mendelowitz in real life can’t decide what his name is, Paul / Feivel / Mendelowits/ Manilo / and even Manilowits. This guy obviously needs some therapy.
To me he looks more like a bigot with a short fuse.
I think Rosh Yeshivah did a fine job in outing him. Besides a few lackeys (who ironically, all seem to have the same anti orthodox agenda) most normal people seem to agree that this guy is a raving nut and a sloppy jerk who is the last person on this planet that should take care of the super sensitive issue of child molestation.
Tuvya, did bring up some very strong questions.
Why is he so obsessed with teacher abuse? What happened to all the other forms of child abuse that goes on in the Orthodo Community?
Why does he keep on bashing the enablers more than the actual terrorists?
Doesn’t he realize that every beginner reading his blog can see through his personal agenda?
What’s all this mockery of Rabonim Roshei Yeshivah and everything Jewish?
Why can’t he EVER admit that he made a mistake?
And how did you know so long ago that it was Paul?
When did you find out? July?
June?
May?
Why did you then wait before exposing him, if he was continuing to slander so many people?
These are all important questions,
PLEASE RESPOND.

This is a copy from another blog that might answer your questions
Question: How sure am I that I have the right man?
I am 100% sure!
One week ago I posted that I was 99% sure. At that point:
a) I had clearly analyzed the postings of UOJ and had matched them with a detailed life history of the alleged UOJ—an exact match.
b) I had some IP addresses from the general location of the alleged UOJ.
c) Even more, someone (who I am in contact with via e-mail, though I don’t know his identity) had been e-mailing UOJ with this alleged identity and various demands of what must be stopped on his blog.
-----------------------------------
This doesn't answer anything!! Tuvya wrote this all based on your assertion from early July that UOJ is Paul. Please tell us what made you suspect that Paul Mendlowitz is UOJ in the first place, and when did you start to suspect this? It seems like the person moderating this blog is the person who actually outed UOJ. The moderator is just regurgiating Tuvya's posts.

Correction...is NOT the person who actually outed UOJ. The moderator is just regurgitating Tuvya's posts.
We and my buddies plan to be there. I hope his wife has a loud wife since she's going to have to shout over us.
Hey Paul, I know your reading this blog so I'll see you in NYC on Motzei Shabbos.
LET THE REAL PARTY BEGIN.
BULLETIN!!BULLETIN!!BULLETIN!!!
Paul has confessed. UOJ is officially dead!! He will be in N.Y. this Saturday night for his wife's play, "The Rabbi and the Cheerleader" at 10:00 at 466 Grand Street, Manhattan.
One thing that I noticed is that if you look at the Ripoff Report file on Manilow (http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff53316.htm) you see some passionate responses supporting Manilow, by someone named "Alice K" who claims to have been office manager for nine years. These are from July and August of 2003 If you look at the worshipful article about Manilow at http://www.busjournal.com/content/archives/oct02/corppro.html several key employees are named, including office manager, and none of them "Alice K". (This article dates from October of 2002 - see http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BDZMP4/104-6502337-4123136?v=glance&n=551440)
Clearly Alice K is a fictitious person, and based on the writing style is almost certainly Paul/UOJ himself.
So without any reference to UOJ, it would appear that Paul Manilow is an unsavory scam artist who is in the habit of posting on the internet in support of himself using aliases.
See also the BBB article on his swindles: http://www.labbb.org/BBBWeb/Forms/General/BBBNewsArchivesPageDetail.aspx?News_ID=66&sm=
What amazes me is that people - even if opposed to UOJ - seem to assume that the multiple posts in support of himself and claiming him as a hero are all from genuine individuals. I think it is likely that many of most are from him himself.
BTW, despite Paul's title of Vice President, it appears that he is actually the owner of the business.
Thank you Mr. Rosh Yeshiva, look like Paul finally threw in the towel.
Well not exactly it's a t-shirt.
Paul Manilow (AKA UOJ) has changed his work number. The number posted is no longer valid. Does anyone have his home # or his new work number. I'd love to continue calling him. LOL
"So Much Talent! Sandy gives us Stand-up Comedy, cheerleading, singing, tap dancing, football, and even castanets!"
Paul Manilow - Musical Composer
-----------------------------------
LOL!! The guy shamelessly reviews his own wife's show. "Musical composer", a pathological liar.
This blog is nothing but one man's vendetta against another. Shameful. What difference does it make who UOJ is? None.
The numer is still working. I jst left Paul a lovely message on his voicemail.
I just gave the girl who answered Paul's phone this blog adressss. Hopefully she'll spread it around her office.
And yes, I noticed the way he critiques his wife's show without saying that he's really her husband. The guy is a plain old fraud. RY you are the man for busting this dude. i hope someone shows up to his wifes show this motzei Shabbos and ....well lets leave it at that.
Needed some good graphic desighner to go on cafepress.com and desighn nice T-shirts outing UOJ - Maybe the cartoon picture of Pual from the play the Rabbi and The Cheerleader is a good start. What do you think?
Ichloz,
That was a great link….Notice how UOJ, Paul, and Alice all have the same CAPS followed by multiple exclamation points.
UOJ (today)
IF YOU SAY "REAL UOJ" at the ticket counter...they will give you a fifty cents discount.
HE'S LOOKING FORWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PAUL
SO WE REFUNDED HIS MONEY IN FULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
never fails, the person who is treated best-goes out of their way to harm!!!!!for shame!!!! sincerely, paul manilow v.p.
ALICE
ON THE INSTRUCTIONS OF MR.MANILOW,TO ISSUE THE CREDIT!!!!!!!!!!
The true heroes of our generations are Rav Belsky,Tuvya and mr.I am in awe of what you accomplished.Let noone tell you that you nailed the wrong guy.I did some investigative work myself and spoke to his family.He has stolen money from family and friends.All used the term "lowlife"
to describe him.He has wonderful children no doubt due to their wonderful mother who is now married to a Dentist in LA.
Ronnie why don't you look at the html code of theunorthodox, and look for a counter or tracker of some sort? Look at the code of this site and you will see one in the footer. He lied when he said he gets thousands of hit. (maybe he does, but how would he know?) He is lying when says he can track your IP. I can tell the last 100 ips that visited here, but I can not tell you who posted a comment, I can compare the time of the visit and the time the post was posted, but its a guess, and more so if you have a number of visits at once. You can modify the blogger template, but you cant modify the comments. Haloscan can track commenter ips. But all this is mute since theunorthodoxjew has none of this implemented, just look at the html.
It didn't matter if he was tracking IPs or not. Just so long as you guys thought he didn't know what he was talking about.
Look, it's no skin off my back whoever UOJ is. For all I know, this entire thing has just been a brilliant guerilla marketing campaing for FM's wife's play. Just remember, you have to put money in his hands if you want to go in and heckle. Now that's a real heckler's dillemma.
I'm just reading the cards the way I see them laying on the table - I think you've been punked by FM and UOJ. I already told you about concondance analysis. If it is so important to out UOJ, go hire a company like TruSecure and have a professional review all the posts, comments and emails.
You guys care more about your self image than you do about kids being harmed by pedophiles.
Remember mr rosh yeshiva, Hashem does't need an ip address to know who you are. I'm sure He's VERY pleased with your latest contribution to klal yisroel.
The dact is that my friend told me that after he called Paul Manilow and Ben Hirsh (AKA the "meuvalim"), he started getting anonymous phone calls on his cell. I guess when the menuvalim are desperate they start making prank phone calls. PAUL, we'll see you this saturday night.
"PAUL, we'll see you this saturday night."
The chicken won't be there.
Well i'll let you know. The word around is that a bunch of guys are going. His wife is just going to love hima after they screw up her show. LOL
But his wife will and we'll give her a message to take back to him.

Go ahead, pay them for the privilege of insulting them.
By all appearances SM seems to be a decent person. Please cite relevant Jewish sources that permit you to shame her in this way?
Frummies just love to treat people badly. You enjoy it so much that I wonder how such cruel people can be Jews.
As implacably opposed I am to UOJ, I am entirely supportive of his wife who appears to be an exemplary eishes chayil, and who must be going through an intensely difficult time.
Any attempt to cause her discomfort or distress is straight rishus. Inexcusable.
This is the incredibly shrinking blog. Every day, more and more postings are deleted.
http://www.offices.org/offices/deos-rc.htm
You're getting closer mr rosh yeshiva.
Remember: Hashem doesn't need an IP address to know who you are.
ATTN: UOJ - Nobody cares if you figure out who is behind mr RY or that you figured out Tuvya - unlike you they did nothing to hide or be ashamed of.
Hashem doesn't need an IP address to know who you are. I'm sure the hatred you unleashed (it takes two to tango) will be very carefully considered when your name comes up...
You have served an important function by exposing UOJ and proving what every sane person should have realized long ago - that he is a raving lunatic with zero credibility. Although molestation is a truly horrible thing and responsible people (maybe Chaim Neuhoff?) should be involved in correcting this weakness in our system, UOJ’s (relatively recent) focus on protecting children is just a smokescreen and a convenient platform for his long history of spewing venom. Though he will certainly not stop his rantings just because he was unmasked, the people reading his trash will hopefully realize that virtually everything he writes is either a creation of his mind or unsubstantiated “allegations”. Anyone can make an allegation but only a vicious dog would post it on the internet before a claim is substantiated. The fact that he made the exact same point about another blogger (paul mendlowitz Says: August 31st, 2003 at 7:29 am for shame!!what happenned to “dan adam lkaf zchus”?how dare you assume guilt?What about the gemora in brochos,”tzaddik vra lo-rosho vtov lo”?yidel,examine your own deeds-for your views are against the halachah.) just proves that he will say/write whatever his corrupt, sick mind considers expedient. Almost nothing he says (or his “anonymous” postings say), regardless of how emphatic they are said, is presented with a single shred of credible evidence. Though he may (or may not) have uncovered a major flaw in our educational system, this is something that should be examined by responsible people. I spoke to someone who is personally aware of substantial responsible efforts and changes taking place behind the scenes to shore up whatever breaches exist. This person has made several attempts to let people know what is happening and to correct several of the patent lies UOJ was making but he conveniently declined to post them. This is only one example of how crafty he is at manipulating information. People need to realize that he has absolutely no interest in the facts but only in dragging people down and recruiting others to join his vile chorus.
Another point. It is completely irrelevant whether he is Shomer Shabbos or what his wife’s profession is. And - for crying out loud - don’t publicize who his family members are. Why should they - who are no doubt thoroughly ashamed of their father be made to suffer any more? The fact that UOJ has literally destroyed the reputations of numerous honest people and dirtied the names of their families in the course of his jihad doesn’t give anyone the license to stoop to his petty tactics or to let others do it either! Leave it to Hashem to decide how to deal with him. However, on the outside possibility that even one of the people who called him a ‘hero’ is someone other than himself, there is a need to systematically demonstrate that he has no credibility whatsoever. Concentrate instead on exposing his lies. One example from: http://www.labbb.org/BBBWeb/Forms/General/BBBNewsArchivesPageDetail.aspx?News_ID=66&sm= is Diamond Card’s advertised claim that they had a "perfect record with the Better Business Bureau" which the BBB insisted they remove. People should also read the claims and counter-claims on http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff53316.htm and decide for themself whether he is a sane person or a raving lunatic.
Some argue (probably UOJ again hiding behind various alias) that your discovery of UOJ’s identity is somehow refutable. While I doubt that, such people should consider the sophistication of your evidence which is an open book for others to examine - as compared to UOJ who spews his filth - the majority of which is without a single shred of evidence. Regarding seeming evidence about a particular Rebbe, I urge you to let responsible people see this through. If you join the rasha’s bandwagon, it is likely you will catch him on yet another lie, confront him with it, and then - following his modus operandi of destroying anyone who challenges or disagrees with him - find that he has besmirched your reputation without recourse.
Mr RY you have nothing to be ashamed keep on posting. It is important to highlight Pual dishonesty in buissness dealings etc.
המתחיל במצוה אומרים לו גמר
קריינתא דאיגרתא וכו
Thank you for exposing him. Any unstantiated allegation that he makes can now be brought to litigations. While you can't sue anonymous bloggers, identified bloggers can be sued. Wait and see how this will change his tone!
Thank you Mr.RY. Thank you Tuvya.
