Tempest in the temple : Jewish communities & child sex scandals
Amy Neustein (Editor), Elliot N. Dorff, Jeremy Rosen (Writer of preface), Dane S. Claussen
"Tempest in the Temple offers an open discussion of some of the most deeply rooted fears in the Jewish community. While it is the first book to bring child sex scandals in temples and synagogues to light, its purpose is not to blame or shame Jews but to examine this horrific problem with as much clarity and precision as possible so that the best remedies can be offered to the community as a whole."--BOOK JACKET
