Jonathan Ginsburg, Rabbi Gailnord beware of Rabbi Jonathan Ginsburg. Woman sues St. Paul rabbi, temple alleging sexual exploitation report

January — A former member of the Temple of Aaron accused the Rabbi Jonathan Ginsburg of sexual exploitation, intentionally inflicting emotional distress, sexual battery and 12 other charges in a lawsuit. The survivor claimed Rabbi Jonathan Ginsburg had inappropriate sexual contact with her for three years. The contact took place while Ginsburg was counseling her and serving as a mentor for her rabbinical studies.

The survivor stated that Rabbi Jonathan Ginsburg knew that she was an emotionally vulnerable person because he learned while counseling her that she was recently divorced and had been sexually and emotionally abused in the past. According to a Pioneer Press article, Ginsburg remained at Temple of Aaron upon the recommendation of the Rabbinical Assembly of Conservative Judaism.

June 08 Rabbi Ginsburg resigned as the senior rabbi at Temple of Aaron, shortly after reaching an out-of-court settlement with a former congregation member who accused him of sexual misconduct.

On June 26, Ginsburg and Temple of Aaron leaders wrote letters to the congregation. Ginsburg apologized "for an admittedly regrettable incident." The synagogue's board of directors said the rabbi "frankly acknowledged his errors in judgment and expressed his profound and deeply felt apologies."

Just a few months after leaving the St. Paul synagogue, Rabbi Ginsburg was hired by Ezra Habonim/Niles Township Jewish Congregation in Skokie, IL.

Now it appears Rabbi Jonathan Ginsburg is telling his favorate jokes and teaching Torah on Youtube.

I don't know what's sicker, his video on youtube or the fact that he's still a practicing rabbi and that the rabbinical assembly thinks it's ok.
