One of the brothers of child sex abuse advocate Manny Waks was involved in a bitter altercation with a senior rabbi over Shavuot.
Chaim Waks admitted to ripping the glasses from Rabbi Zvi Telsner’s face at the end of the service at Yeshivah’s main synagogue in Melbourne last Tuesday night, according to a report by JTA.
Rabbi Telsner, the Yeshivah’s spiritual leader in Melbourne, offered festive greetings to Chaim Waks at the end of the service.
But Waks, 24, admitted to replying: “How dare you f***ing wish me a good Yom Tov?”
His brother confirmed that he also admitted throwing Telsner’s glasses on the floor.
Telsner confirmed to JTA that the incident happened, but declined to comment.
