Daniel Greer: Yeshiva, its Controversies, and The verdict!

The Journey of Yeshiva
Rabbi Daniel Greer is best known as the founder of the Yeshiva of New Haven, which was started as a small orthodox day school but gradually grew into a few full Yeshivas with elementary school and high school for boys and girls. After studying to be ordained as Rabbi with Yehoshua Neuwirth, Daniel Greer moved to New Haven. It is then when he thought that there were not enough Religious schools in New Haven, so he set up the Orthodox day school. To make Yeshiva and its surroundings better, Daniel Greer set up various organizations to redevelop the neighborhood around Yeshiva, including the fight against prostitution in the locality. Greer also worked as a lawyer for 14years in New Haven and had also served as the New Haven Commissioner of City Police.
The Case and the controversy
After a life which people appreciated and acclaimed, Rabbi Daniel Greer’s image hit several Walls when a former student of Yeshiva, Eliyahu Mirlis, accused Daniel of repeated sexual assaults. He sued Greer stating that his high school journey from 2001 to 2005 was miserable because of Greer’s demand and pressure for sexual Favours. The suit also mentioned of a second student who was also abused and tortured by the Habbi.
The Verdict.
The verdict for the suit came out in 2017 wherein the principal of Yeshiva, Rabbi Daniel Greer was found guilty of sexually abusing and raping of his male student from Yeshiva. In a civil trial, with the fear of self-incrimination, Greer chose to plead the fifth. With the verdict, Daniel and his Yeshiva were ordered to pay the victim $15 million on the ground of sexually abusing him hundreds of time.
