Here’s some background on Vicki Polin, a crusader against sexual abuse.
Rabbis such as Joseph Telushkin and Saul Berman portrayed us as joined at the hip.
Since 2004, I’ve been following Vicki Polin’s work with the Awareness Center.
She deserves to be the subject of an exhaustive biography.
She’s the best known face of the anti-sexual abuse movement in Jewish life.
Her detractors portray her as satanic. Her supporters are equally fervent.
I know many people who thinks she’s nuts. I don’t think she’s nuts. I think she’s formidable. But I can’t get my head around her 1989 appearance on Oprah.
Kitty Kelley writes about it in her new biography of Oprah. Vicki Polin is “Rachel.”
