Deputy Education Minister Rabbi Meir Porush visited with Rabbi Eliezer Berland in his prison cell after the latter had a visit from Migdal HaEmek Chief Rabbi Dovid Yitzchok Grossman Shlita.
Persons close to Rabbi Berland reported on Tuesday, 1 Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan that Porush made a visit to the prison to meet with Rabbi Berland.
Rabbi Berland was extradited by South Africa in compliance with an Israel Police request amid accusations he assaulted women. He remains imprisoned without bail.

Why would a senior government official meet privately with someone accused of abusing women and other serious crimes? Its bizarre that Porush, who has responsibility for the education of the children of EY, would dignify this guy who has brought such embarrassment to EY in the eyes of the world by literally running from country to country to escape the judicial system, showing up in foreign courtrooms wearing tallis/teffilin etc.

It’s scary that a Sheigitz like yourself can be mvazei brabim gedolaei torah throughout, by using it as a name and commenting like a Rosha
Oy vey!
What if they are false witnesses
Wouldn’t even gadolhadorah run for his life?
