May 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Institutionalized corruption of Bet Tzedek, the Los Angeles “House of Justice” – a prominent affiliate of the Los Angeles Jewish Federation - and racketeering in the courts as the institutional culture, have been the core of Dr Zernik’s writing on the subject. ADL so far has refused to opine if such writing amounts to defamation. Rabbi Lerner’s response raises concerns that ADL is not much different than Bet Tzedek.

Los Angeles, May 8 – Tikkun’s Rabbi Michael has Lerner provided his opinion regarding refusal of ADL’s National Director Abraham Foxman to respond regarding racketeering in the courts by leading Los Angeles Jewish-legal community leaders.

Rabbi Michael Lerner has written:

“I know nothing about the circumstances about which you are talking, and don't want to publicly comment on Mr. Foxman because the only honest things I could say might easily bring me a law suit for slander”. [[1]]

Tikkun’s motto is: “to heal, repair, and transform the world.”

Dr Zernik has recently filed a request with Mr Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti Defamation League (ADL), for ADL's opinion regarding Dr Zernik’s writing, which detailed public corruption and racketeering in the courts by leading figures of the Los Angeles Jewish-Legal community. Dr Zernik’s writing pertains to current and former officers of BET TZEDEK - the Los Angeles "HOUSE OF JUSTICE", an affiliate organization of the Greater Los Angeles Jewish Federation. [[ii],[iii]]

Dr Zernik has expressed his concern that his writing, and the positions held by such individuals, are likely to lead people to conclude that the Los Angeles Jewish community holds in high esteem, or even as its leaders, individuals, who are engaged in corruption of the courts and violations of Human Rights. Moreover, Dr Zernik has pointed out the large number of readers of his writings.

In order to remove any doubts on such important matter, and knowing that ADL has a good-size legal department and considerable resources, Dr Zernik has requested a formal opinion by ADL on such writing. With the letter, large volume of evidence has been provided to ADL.

ADL’s stated mission is "to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.”
