Rabbi from Safed convicted for sex offenses
The Nazareth District Court sentenced Safed Rabbi Ezra Sheinberg to seven and a half years in prison for sexual offenses he perpetrated against eight different women who had turned to him for spiritual guidance. The two and a half years Sheinberg has spent in prison during his trial will count toward his sentence.It's regrettable whenever rabbis today embarrass Judaism by stooping to that level.
Sheinberg was convicted in July 2017 after pleading guilty in an amended indictment filed against him by the Northern District Attorney's Office as part of a plea bargain between the rabbi and the complainants.
In the previous indictment, submitted two years earlier, Sheinberg was charged with 13 counts of sexual assault, including rape and sodomy, against 12 different women.
