Getting a National Jewish Book Award is so meaningful, not just for my book but for the message it sends our culture: survivors must be heard and justice delivered! ⚖️👏 @CHILD_USA @HenryHolt @marshlawfirm @Darkness2Light @SNAPNetwork @survivorsarmy @MaleSurvivorORG @RossYoon

The sad & sorry state of "Jewish" journalism: when not one wire service reports on the major ruling in the @YUNews case & not one Jewish news outlet -- because they r either stocked with YU board members or compromised by YU ad dollars.

Huge ruling in the child sexual abuse case vs. @YUNews. A judge has dismissed YU's motion to dismiss the case. We can move forward with discovery and the case can proceed -- finally.

For an institution that claims to be the flagship of Modern Orthodoxy, they're just doing the same thing every other institution responsible for mass sex abuse does: Denying even though the evidence is clear, attacking the victims and continuing to cause them pain and suffering.

What a fantastic piece of reporting on the abhorrent ways in which "do-good" institutions not only enable the sexual abuse of children but go on whitewashing it decades later. Bravo @msjpauly! You are my hero, @TaniaCHumphrey!! 🙌💪⚖️

Tomorrow, the Senate Judiciary Committee reviews the nomination of Michael Delaney to the US Court of Appeals.
As a defense attorney, Delaney, representing St. Paul's School, filed to force a minor victim of sexual assault to go public.
Yes: to shame the victim. Signed:

BIG CONGRATS, @flowill, on making the @PENamerica long list! #Heartbreak is literary science writing at its very best: need-to-know science great storytelling. If you want to know why grief and loneliness hurt so bad (y' know, if you're human), then read it now, people.
20 Jan 2023
Astonished and delighted that #Heartbreak got longlisted by @PENamerica for literary science writing! It’s a great list. Thanks to PEN and thanks for publishing this quirky, deeply felt experiment, @wwnorton, @pushkinpods

I'll say it again: sexual abuse is not a Catholic thing or a Baptist thing or a Jewish thing—it's a human thing. So is power. That's why these books—Lacy's, mine, etc—resonate with survivors universally. Attention must be paid in ALL communities. @JewishBook @JTAnews @CHILD_USA
20 Jan 2023
Look at power protecting itself. Stephen Mills writes a beautiful memoir of recovering from abuse at Jewish camps & fighting for other boys and men. Book wins a Jewish Book Council prize. But Jewish publications covering the awards just seem to forget about CHOSEN. Hmm. Strange.

Please read & RT @HareianiBlog's takedown of the pubs that omitted CHOSEN from their coverage of the National Jewish Book Awards. Survivors are used to being gaslighted & silenced—I wrote a book on it. Kudos to @JewishBook for honoring it. Shame on those who would bury the truth.

In case anybody was interested, @semills' book, Chosen: A Memoir of Stolen Boyhood won the memoir category of the National Jewish Book Awards, announced yesterday at the inaugural Books That Changed My Life Festival.
