Personal experience. The Ark hides my child for 1 1/2 years. The rabbi Shlomo Tenenbaum is not registered as a social worker in Illinois, However he operates as one. Chicago is the place to do it, so stressed with criminal behavior is this state. He has molested a woman in his car after leaving his wife's father's shiva. He has approached three separate teenagers of three single mothers who went to the Ark for help and asked them if they want to leave their mother and he will fund them to live away from them. There are facilities the Ark hides these teenagers in, for eg. W. Rogers Park and Highland Park. For financial gain, families are paid to hide these kids. The ARK's Victoria Hass assists teens to file restraining orders and estrange parents. These are parents with financial problems and histories of violence and abuse who beg for help, but the Ark shuffles parents off to agencies that like Jewish family services who have wait lists longer than the stairway to Heaven. Trust in clergy? They molest people. The Ark's head honcho, Mark Swatez, doesn't want to hear about the problems, and he defers back to his "professionals", the abusers, and if you report the atrocities Tenenbaum and Hass commit, along with Susan the front desk queen of loshun hora, ignoring it just feeds the web of bureaucratic nightmare in Jewish Chicago extending to and for the agenda to keep the wealth inside the hierchy of nobility -- the rabbinical greed. Nepotism of the wealthy, like Victoria Hass, at the Ark, has a sister Nancy Steinberg, head social worker at Rochelle Zell Jewish HS, and she has collaborated in brainwashing current teenager of current writer here, against her mother, ignoring the mother since the beginning of this kid's first HS year, about some serious problems. Then when the kid attacked and drew blood, Ark and Jewish school got a restraining order on her mother, not even questioning the lies on that order. Can you believe any adult in their right mind taking the sole words of a 17 year old, against a mother without consulting with the mother who has for an entire year communicated problems with teenager? That an orthodox boy convinced her to have sex with him...mother being a mother didn't ignore this. Tenenbaum didn't care to comment because he is involved with molestation. Teenager not only broke into the mother's home but stole items from the mother; all of this under the guidance of The Ark and Rochelle Zell Jewish High School. The daughter stole the mother's dog and the dog was kept at this hiddenJewish family's home. They knew the dog was stolen. The police were called and retrieved the dog to the mother. But the Ark and the school were complicit in this theft. Tenenbaum and Hass and the social worker of the school, Rebecca Dauber were notified of this theft, and promptly obtained a restraining order to shut up the mother and hide the fact they were complicit in the theft. They stole my kid, they brainwashed her, they put me in a mental institution (for a week) when I exhibited a problem with this. They are an evil corporation intent on shutting up anyone who tries to reveal their hypocrisy and evil. They damaged my life forever, they stole my child, they helped her get a restraining order on me without investigating the issue of why with me, and this is pure evil. It is the holidays now, and one can only wonder if back in the time of Jesus, the reason the rabbis betrayed Jesus (who pointed out the rabbis' hypocrisy) and knew they were sending him to his torture and death, is because if people started believing he was the Messiah, it would be bad for their business. There was big money in those times, remember.... those on top wanted to hush things up. And you see it right here, today, in this town, .... forfeiting and destroying one family (mine) in order to pretend they're doing some big charity for one kid sending her to a private Jewish high school with the condition of estranging her mother, with a restraining order, when Shlomo Tenenbaum coerced me into talking with him about my needs as if he was a social worker, and then turning around and betraying me by promising to commit to my family and then planning it's demise, is pure evil. And though I'm a Jew, I feel for Jesus...and anyone who speaks up against this gang of thieves has courage and God knows the truth. The Ark destroyed my life, Shlomo Tenenbaum is a sham, Victoria Hass is evil, and I wonder why more people don't know about the guy who shot himself because of what the Ark did...unless the Jewish News is also filled with lies and payoffs (hint: the paper is a pig fest of manipulation). read more

A good rabbi is something to be cherished. Too many of those who claim to be our most righteous rabbis are, in fact, our most hateful. Rabbi Shlomo Tenenbaum is hateful. Somewhere, somehow Tenenbaum got the notion that the way to prove he is a staunch defenders of G-d and Torah and Jewish tradition and Jewish values is not to reach out hands but to point fingers. Not to embrace and love all Jews but to criticize and push away all Jews that don't see or practice Judaism exactly as he does. "You don't speak our language!" was the last thing he said to me before he ripped apart my family and funded an operation to murder me, a murder in the eyes of Judaism. It's called loshun hora, and if you have studied Judaism, it's the destruction of a life to gossip and slander that which isn't true. Tenenbaum only took the half-baked accusations and slander of others and spread the gossip. He spilled the feathers of a pillow all over town, and those feathers reached far and wide. He bloodied the family that I brought to the Ark: my family. He separated my daughter and I, using the angst of a teenager against me, her mom. I had until the moment the Ark betrayed me, until the moment my daughter betrayed me, been her mother: a single mom, who I raised, protected, educated and loved. Shlomo propogated an atrocity against me with the worst of the Jewish community, and there are many. I asked for their counseling for her violence. Shlomo wanted me to let her. "Let her." Really? I didn't take his advice. His slander, coercion, and an order to quiet me by means of torture: court orders, jail, and the Jewish funding by individuals he coerces according to their greed, and through the associations they donate to, he used that money to shut me, a Jewish woman, up. Partly he tried to cover up what I brought to the attention of many: male abuse upon females in this community. That worried him. His strived to hide what his friends were doing. My unearthing their deviance didn't sit well with him. He arranged to discredit me and destroy my family, along with his cronies Victoria Hass (who I had choice words for) and Mark Swatez and together they came up with the mental-illness card. This joker card has destroyed people and the ignorance of society has given it creedence. Let her be bad. Let her be violent? Let her have her day? Would that be love? I defy this hypocrite rabbi. I defy his criminal friends, Hatzeleh, who violated federal law, and I defy the immoral behavior of their insider's deviance, of Rabbi Fuhrst, Michael Pearl, all of the deviants who groped at my breasts when delivering furniture, all of the narcissist Ark medical volunteers.. the one who wouldn't shut up about the book he was writing and not address my concern about a medicine I needed filled and then lunged at me in the Ark basement. The sad pawn in the game they play is my daughter, who didn't have the soul as a young person to differentiate between her mother's life and her own greed. And Tenenbaum did say he's a master at manipulation and appeals to people's greed. This is how he gets people to plant money into his paws. Little did I know this evil rabbi would use my daughter in his game of greed. To this day Tenenbaum insists I give him medical records from a therapist. What therapist? He has to direct blame by creating an illness. This is gaslighting in the worst way. This is the worst Jewish person you can imagine... and this, a rabbi. "You can move a hundred steps forward," he insists, if you share your medical records with us, the ARK. Exposing this monstrosity of an agency is the record. If you go into the Ark they will attach themselves to you like the Covid 19 virus, and kill you. read more

These are the worst of the worst. These Jews violate every ethic in Judaism. They suck you in by stating family values, and then they pit family members against each other. My daughter was violent to me, which is why I went to the Ark, to help get her a social worker and into a school, given their professing Jewish family values. When my daughter was going to Rochelle Jewish High School for the first semester, she stole medication from me, my credit card, and injured my neck bloody. The Ark helped her manufacture fraud against me, stating on a FOIA report that I injured myself. If this isn't horrifying enough, Shlomo Tenenbaum, at this organization, and Victoria Hass, who is the sister (and hired by nepotism) of her other sister, head counselor at Rochelle Zell Jewish High school, helped my daughter commit fraud against me, gas light me, and define me as a criminal who emailed my daughter ...they had gotten this violent daughter of mine an order of protection against me through the criminal injustice system of cook county. This is a violation of Judaism at the least, and at the most a criminal violation in Judaism to create enmity within a family. I am a single mom who raised this kid, Sophie Braverman (who has changed her name to Lucifer, aka LUCY, or LUCIEN) and seeked out their help. I raised her on my own. She betrayed me. They betrayed me. I am left having given 19 years of my life to this kid, seeking out Jewish values and education, not realizing the demons have risen in Jewish Chicago. They are evil people, Victoria Hass and Shlomo Tenenbaum and Mark Swatez are evil. Not only that, they gas light me, as did SOPHIE AKA LUCIEN BRAVERMAN who goes to BRANDIES, A JEWISH COLLEGE in Massachusetts under the JEWISH FUNDING OF CHICAGO ... these are all Jews. I am ashamed of these people, and that they call themselves Jews. They have destroyed my blood line. Hatzeleh, SOL STARK AND SHAI GOLDMEYER of HATZELEH, who are friends with SHLOMO TENENBAUM and rabbi SCHEINEMAN and rabbi WOLF of the mitzvah bus... including the horrific miscreants of the Ark, as well as the Jewish Camp Ramah, LORI STARK, fabricated lies about me because I had uncovered their ethical violations. Camp Ramah, in fact, hired my daughter, who stole my medication and went to camp as a lifeguard stoned out of her mind, watching the kids at Camp Ramah swimming in the water... as a lifeguard. And then LORI STARK refused to pay my daughter overtime, keeping her overtime, stoned, exhausted, to watch as a day care worker, unpaid, to watch the camp stragglers. STARK refused to hire after-hours childcare to watch the kids... no..instead she used the lifeguards for free work, to pad the pockets of her KINGS THE RABBIS WHO OWN THE CAMP. This Jewish community is treacherous. They are the current-day pharises and sagices who don't think about Judaism or what they are doing..they do it by rote. They march other Jews to the gas chambers...metaphorically speaking..but that is very important to note. They have destroyed my family. They THROW MONEY AT LUCIEN AKA LUCY AKA SOPHIE AKA LUCIFER BRAVERMAN so that she has discarded her mother. REBECCA DAUBER was the social worker at Rochelle Zell high school who did nothing but make false promises about helping our family. I was to be part of my own family! I put my kid into this school in order to have that reparation and to stop the viciousness of my kid, to help her with understanding how to behave as a good Jew. AND NOW THIS. I can say one-hundred percent, these Jews in Chicago are THE DEVIL INCARNATE. I am sickened that they call themselves Jews. They are self-serving, evil, miscreants. They commit murder. read more

Shlomo Tenenbaum will bury you because he is the one who kills you. This is a very dangerous organization with this rabbi, and there is a horrible woman named Victoria Hass , and together they have caused a teenager to lose her mother to suicide. They convinced the teenager to leave her mother who came to the Ark with a disability and abuse background. Needing help. Instead of helping the mother, they convinced the daughter to leave her. They then ignored the mother who was left with no family! The mother commited suicide. She was disabled and in grief for TWO YEARS. The girl was given a place to live and school to go to in exchange for getting a restraining order on the mother. She asked and wrote the rabbi for help with her daughter and Rabbi Shlomo Tenenbaum told her that teenage girls are the devil incarnate! He recorded this woman crying on the phone for her daughter and then he had her arrested and put into a mental hospital for a week, but he never moved to help her family reunite. The ARK never helped her reunite, she is a disabled woman who needs her family. She commited suicide. Private Jewish organization you are EVIL. read more

The Ark is a truly wonderful organization that provides essential services to the community with compassion, dignity, and care. Their staff and volunteers go above and beyond to support those in need, and I'm incredibly grateful for the work they do. However, I feel compelled to share a serious concern about the dentist on staff, Dr. Oded Gargir. In my experience, he has demonstrated a negligent and unprofessional approach to patient care. His behavior toward those seeking dental services--many of whom are in vulnerable situations--has been inappropriate, marked by a condescending and egotistical attitude. This is deeply disappointing and does not reflect the values of respect and empathy that The Ark is known for. I hope The Ark takes steps to ensure all staff represent the organization's mission with the same integrity and compassion shown throughout the rest of team. read more

Exclusion is an unnecessary violence. The Ark is currently inflicting this violence upon me using my daughter as a pawn to exclude me, her mother, from her life by funding her exclusion of me while she is in high school. Victoria Hass and Shlomo Tenenbaum are known key enablers of this violence against me. Their agenda is insidious retaliation against not only me but many past clients who they target for such reasons, states Shlomo Tenenbaum, as "you dont speak the Ark's language". Shlomo funds parental estrangement. If the Ark doesnt reverse the violence against me, the Ark building and connected organizations will be protested against on a regular basis beginning August 9, 2017. If you would like to join the protests please comment. read more

The ARK is more than just an organization--it is a lifeline. When our family lost our home, they literally saved my parents' lives. They took them in with compassion, dignity, and zero judgment. They helped my mom secure safe housing and supported our family in ways we can never fully repay. The rabbi at The ARK is extraordinary--caring, present, and truly devoted to helping people through the most difficult times of their lives. The entire team leads with heart and humanity. I am forever grateful to The ARK for being a source of hope when things felt hopeless. They are a blessing to our community. read more

This is an example of the worst of the worst "religious" agencies run by miscreant hypocrites of our time, Chicago's worse Jewish people are running the Jewish community agencies. Their Google reviews are fake, they will pull a curtain over your eyes and until you realize and pull it back and see worse than the Wizard of Oz but the snakes they are oozing behind the scenes, you will realize everything about reality and the war going on in Gaza. These are the vermin of our world, and their charity is poison. read more

The police " let" them get away with murder. We see this with Gaza now. and we know our people. and we all see the necessity of what is happening now. Rabid Shlomo Tenenbaum is a criminal, Naomi Leidersnaider, Victoria Hass, Myrna Goldwyn, murderers and accomplices. They destroy our families. and they don't blink an eye. how evil these people are.. and now the world is rebelling. and now the world sees them even clearer read more

Permit me to elaborate. Tenenbaum knew exactly what he was doing the afternoon he set me up for murder by an evicted criminal roommate who had just been released from Chester mental health prison. Mr Tenenbaum performed a satanic ritual on me then fled the scene. He is not to be trusted. If I live another year or more I plan on sueing for 40 years of blindness and ptsd. This man will go to jail. Justice must be rendered. read more

Victoria Hass curses at clients on the phone. Shlomo Tenenbaum tells clients to do illegal things. Their narcissist violent doctor attacked me in the back office. They broke federal law with their Jewish "sister" agency. A horrible place, with demonic people who add to the tragedies of the world. read more
