Rabbi Avrohom Zippel visits the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., during a trip to the nation's capital to establish a partnership between Chabad International and the National Children's Alliance to prevent child sex abuse in the Orthodox Jewish world, on March 25, 2019. Rabbi Zippel recently told his story about being allegedly sexually abused by his nanny for 10 years, from age 8-18, for the first time in the Deseret News. The story has had a profound reverberation throughout Chabad across the world, sparking earnest conversations about child abuse prevention for the first time, and catalyzing a #MeToo movement of sorts within the Orthodox Jewish world. He has received thousands of calls, texts and emails from supportive community members as well as from other victims who have thus far remained silent. | Cheryl Diaz Meyer, For the Deseret News
