Jerry Yechiel Brauner is a notorious Borough Park pedophile who was just released from a psychiatric facility. One of his favored stomping grounds is the Shomer Shabbos synagogue, a popular neighborhood minyan factory. For years, the rabbi who runs Shomer Shabbos refused to ban Brauner. Instead, he honored him, having him lead parts of the High Holiday services. But that has finally changed.

Nuchem Rosenberg is reporting that the hierarchy of Shomer Shabbos synagogue at 53rd and 13th in Borough Park have decided to ban Jerry Yechiel Brauner, barring him from entering the building.

I imagine the guys at Chaptzem, who have been complaining about Brauner and Shomer Shabbos for years, must be thrilled that their work is finally paying off.
