The New York Post reports:<\/p>\n
A rabbi convicted of sexually abusing a teenage boy has his kosher meals picked up from a Queens store by an on-duty jail captain.<\/p>\n
Baruch Lebovits, a once-respected Satmar rabbi from Brooklyn, gets the special food brought straight to his Rikers Island cell, even though the jail already provides kosher dishes for its Jewish prisoners.<\/p>\n
Apparently, they aren’t blessed enough for Lebovits, 59, who has been moaning for months that he couldn’t eat the food because it hadn’t had proper rabbinical supervision, sources said.<\/p>\n
Lebovits’ adherence to holy law apparently didn’t preclude repeatedly sexually abusing a 16-year-old classmate of his son, a heinous crime for which he was sentenced in March to up to 32 years in prison.<\/p>\n
The Brooklyn rabbi is on Rikers awaiting trial in another sex abuse case.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, a Rikers jail captain was ordered to pick up $60 worth of glatt kosher canned meals for the sicko, including Salisbury steak, stuffed shells, cheese ravioli and barbecued chicken wings from Alle Processing in Maspeth, Queens, an e-mail obtained by The Post shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
