A Brooklyn judge yesterday slapped a bar mitzvah tutor with 13 months behind bars for groping two boys -- while ripping the close-knit Orthodox community for what he called a "circle the wagons" mentality that protects such abusers.

"What is . . . troubling . . . is a communal attitude that seems to impose greater opprobrium on the victims than on the perpetrators," said Judge Gustin Reichbach.

The Midwood tutor, Yona Weinberg, 31, is a licensed social worker and the married father of triplets. His victims were 12 and 13.
