Posters promoting an upcoming fund-raiser for a rabbi charged with sexually abusing a teenage girl blanketed Jewish shopping strips in Williamsburg Monday – sparking a campaign protesting the charity bash.
Signs supporting Nechemya Weberman, 53, – written in Hebrew and Yiddish mix – promote a Wednesday gathering at the Continental Caterers dining hall at 75 Rutledge Street.
Cops busted Weberman in February 2011 after a 16-year-old girl reported he was her therapist and had forced her during counseling session to perform oral sex and other lewd acts starting when she was 12-years-old.
“It is very painful,” said the victim’s mother about the street ads up on poles on Bedford and Lee Avenues. “The community has taken his side.”
