Who will be the next victim if NCYI is not stopped?

Young Israel of Fifth Avenue,
Rabbi Kolakowski in Richmond,
Susan Shalov in Las Vegas,
any visitor to Las Vegas who expects a shul with the name Young Israel to abide by the Torah standards Young Israel is supposed to follow,
the unnamed shul mentioned in the YU Commentator article in 2007,
Shaarei Torah Orthodox Congregation of Syracuse,
etc. etc.

The National Council of Young Israel has proven repeatedly that it abides neither by the Torah nor its own supposed standards. It has proven itself to be worse than a mere bully. It has committed fraud and forgery in pursuit of goals that are against the mission the National Council was created to perform. It is time for the Torah-True Young Israel membership and branches to end the reign of kefirah of the current administration of NCYI.

Why was National Council ready to shut down the shul in Syracuse for having a woman-President (who was NOT running a Women's Prayer Group) but allows Young Israel of Sharon to run a Women's Prayer Group?
 It is interesting that Young Israel claims to follow the psak of 5 RIETS Roshei Yeshiva regarding Women's Prayer Groups yet turns a blind eye towards this activity at the Young Israel of Sharon, MA:
Tefillat Nashim
Tefillat Nashim is a tefilah group service that started over 10 years ago. There are 2 services a month, starting at 9:30 AM in the Beit Midrash. See Davening Times for the next Tefillat Nashim service.

About the Service:
P’sukeh D’Zimrah, is often lead off by a young girl. Another Kehilah member takes over as a Chazanit leads through the Shacharit service. Our Torah portion consists of taking the Torah out of the Aron Kodesh and then Laining the first three portions aloud, with different woman or girls reading each Aliyah (no B’rachot are recited). A D’var Torah follows, and then the Haftarah is chanted by another Kehilah member. The service continues with the Musaf Amidah and then one or more of our younger girls leads us in the concluding prayers. During the Tefilah group, songs are song together, especially some selections during the Shacharit and Musaf Amidah.


Special Services:
Every Simhat Torah we lain vezot hatorah as many times as we have lainers. This happens while the men are receiving their aliyot. It is also an opportunity if there are any women who are interested in benching gomel. If you would like to participate in this very special experience, please contact Cheryl Harris. We can also teach new lainers for this parsha. After the laining is finished Rabbi Sendor will give a dvar Torah.
Two other special davenings we have are on Purim and Tisha B'Av. We lain Megilat Esther on Purim morning and Eicha on Tisha B'Av evening. New lainers are always welcome.

Here are the lies and forgeries fabricated by Young Israel

Yeshayahu 10:1. Woe to those who engrave engravings of injustice and missives of perverseness they write. יְשַׁעְיָהוּ י:א. הוֹי הַחֹקְקִים חִקְקֵי אָוֶן וּמְכַתְּבִים עָמָל כִּתֵּבוּ
Rashi: engravings of injustice: Notes of injustice, forged notes.
letters: Heb. מְכַתְּבִים. This is Arabic, like מִכְתָּבִים in Hebrew.
2. To pervert the judgment of the impoverished and to rob the judgment of the poor of My people, so that the widows are their plunder, and they pillage the orphans. ב. לְהַטּוֹת מִדִּין דַּלִּים וְלִגְזֹל מִשְׁפַּט עֲנִיֵּי עַמִּי לִהְיוֹת אַלְמָנוֹת שְׁלָלָם וְאֶת יְתוֹמִים יָבֹזּוּ
Rashi: To pervert: through the false notes, the poor from the legal rights due them.

When the seruv on Yitzchak sWyne resurfaced in 2007, National Council of YOUNG ISRAEL created a false document from one the Bais Din had invalidated. As can be plainly seen, the lifting took place in Kislev 5765 and was the document referred to as a "mistake" in the Tevet 5765 reissuance of the seruv. The Hebrew document was fraudulently altered (note the Hebrew date on next to last signature, Lamed-Gimel Elul??) in 2007 and a translation (with an incorrect translation of Lamed-Gimel) notarized to falsely give the impression the excommunication was lifted.

These forgeries (Hebrew and English) were used to file a lawsuit in SECULAR court for the purpose of trying to intimidate those who were publishing the siruv. Annotations to the forgery are in colored text.

National Council first issued a letter in Janurary 2005 telling people to ignore the seruv.
Download the letter to enlarge it. The annotations in red explain why this letter is fraudulent.
As can be seen here, Mrs. Shalov HAD submitted to the binding arbitration of the Beth Din of the Rabbinical Council of California over a month before Mr. Pesach Lerner wrote the letter published by National Council of Young Israel placed in public view at the Young Israel Aish of Las Vegas.  Mr. Lerner's "encouragement" to Mrs. Shalov was deliberate deception to falsely malign the widow..
National Council of Young Israel submitted false statements to the Las Vegas Municipal Court in Case C594776A charging the widow Susan Shalov with Trespassing further adding to her torment.

Since the Young Israel Constitution states in Section 4.7:
a.  President - He shall be in charge of and responsible for all the activities of the organization;
the President of Young Israel in 2005 and 2007 is responsible for FRAUD and FORGERY.

More information including a timeline of the excommunication can be read in this Google doc (click to view).


In perek 7 of sefer Yehoshua we read how "like 36 men" were killed at the city of Ai. Some say it was only Yair ben Menashe who was killed, for he was equal to 36 men. But the aveiroh was not his, it was that of another, Achan ben Carmi. Perhaps Hashem is repeating the story of Yehoshua perek 7?
 
Is Reb Sholom Rubashkin like Yair ben Menashe in that he is paying the price for an injustice in a different city? Much of Reb Sholom Rubashkin's travails began in autumn of 2007, the same time as this forgery was committed by National Council of Young Israel in order to sue Jews in SECULAR court to be silent about the seruv. Reb Sholom's situation worsened in 2008 after he unwittingly was allied by the forger.
