A Baltimore City paper cover story this week features the incredibly courageous work of my friend, mentor and colleague Executive Editor Phil Jacobs for exposing allegations of sexual molestation in the Orthodox rabbinate here.

As editor on much of this series, I can assure you that for Phil there has been no personal glory and a lot of emotional pain with this. Befitting his modesty, he did not even let me know that this story was coming out. This subject is uncomfortable in every way.
