I'm Losing Count

I debated over including the Gafni ruckus on the blog and did post this a few days ago.

I reviewed all the material going around (or is that going up...on the blog?) and was amazed to read this at The Forward

Rabbi Fired Over Sex Claims, Defenders Offer Mea Culpa

"...The Bayit Chadash accuser contacted by the Forward said that the five women who recently came forth had all been told by Gafni that he wanted to marry them — and the accuser said that all the women had been dumped shortly after being told he was committing himself to celibacy...

...The Bayit Chadash accuser who spoke with the Forward said she hopes that by sharing her experience, she has helped spare other women pain. So far, four of the original five accusers have made sworn statements and three have filed complaints with the police. And since then, three more women have come forward in the Bayit Chadash community, along with three women from Jerusalem.


How many women are we talking about now?
