"go along, get along" = harm & isolation
- Most congregants are unaware that rampant abuse is going on- even when MINORS are involved
- Our legitimate complaints are often marginalized, dismissed or outright ignored
- We aren't sure whom we can safely trust with reporting harmful, abusive, toxic and hostile workplaces
- The Laity, the one collective who holds the responsibility, do not have the tools to handle significant 'HR' concerns
- When Laity abuse occurs, there's NO oversight of this volunteer governing body.
- Reporting is often dismissed or minimized without any process. This is gaslighting; secondary harm.
- Ethics complaints to some Rabbinic and Cantorial organizations appear to FAVOR the offender & reinstate them.
