ask questions. Hiller criticized
Gan
- chrow for describing the charges
against Rabbi Lanner as a case of "he
said, she said."
Hiller also insisted there had been a
cover-up, and urged the OU to make
the full report public.
When Hiller stayed on for three ques-
tions, Ganchrow tried to dismiss him,
saying, "We've given you more time
than anyone else."
"You deserve more time than anyone
else," Blitz quickly reassured him.
Vivian Luchins of Bronx, N.Y.,
asked why there are no women on the
13-member committee. Blitz said he
regretted the scarcity of women in the
OU leadership, and promised to make
an effort to recruit women for the
committees reviewing the organiza-
tion's practices.
In an interview afterward, he acknowl-
edged, "It's a mistake" not to have
women on the 13-member committee.
But he did not announce plans to
change its composition.
Not everyone in the audience was
angry at the OU. Using the Yiddish
term for observant, David Mandell of
Long Island, N.Y., said Rabbi Lanner's
accusers should "take some comfort
from knowing you've changed the way
the frum (observant) community will
look at the problem of sex abuse." 0

"Ours is not a compromise move-
ment. We firmly believe in Torah and
in the essential truths it contains,"
Strom says. "But we believe that past
interpretations have sometimes been
overly restrictive, permitting-only one
way to do things.
"That approach may have made
sense in the past, but we believe that
Halachah (Jewish law) permits greater
flexibility. It will allow us to reach out
and broaden the participation in
Judaism by bringing in or bringing
back members of the community
whose family needs are not being met
in an Orthodox setting." CI
