Shmuel faces 70 years in Federal prison without parole plus a $750,000.00 fine.
Agents from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the FBI arrested Shmuel Juravel (Feb. 21, 2005) at a Birmingham hotel after he arranged to have sex with a minor.
Juravel grew up in Baltimore, MD. Around fifteen years ago the first allegations were made against Shmuel of child sexual molestation. According to statements made on the various threads, survivors and their parents sought help from Rabbi Moshe Heinemann who said he would take care of things. Needless to say, nothing happened.
Shmuel is the son of Rabbi Moshe and Shulamis Juravel of Baltimore, MD. Rabbi Juravel is employeed as a teacher at the Torah Institute of Baltimore. Shmuel Juravel is also the nephew of Rabbi Dovid Juravel and Rebbitzen Chana Juravel.
Samuel Juravel has 3 attorneys, 2 from the Law firm of Sirote and Permutt.
- James Sturdivant - Birmingham, AL
- Robin Beardsley - Birmingham, AL
The prosecuting attorneys are:
- John H England, III - Assistant US Attorney, Northern District of. Alabama, Southern Division
- Alice H Martin - Assistant US Attorney, Northern District of. Alabama, Southern Division
Due to the number of postings onThread #10, the discussion of Shmuel Juravel will continue here on Thread #11.

I know who you are also and that was you who just responded, too! WE all know who you are. STop already. You do live here, you have made these comments to other people so we all know how you feel. The correlation to "AA" and the 12 step program hit the nail on the head!
It's an insult to the Jewish Community for the Federation to send one cent to Juravel.
This person MOLESTED OUR CHILDREN !
What's so difficult to understand.
The man is a pervert.
He's no more Jewish then a Muslam.
He premedated his actions,certainly went against Hasham's laws, pretended to be a pious Jew and all the while was MOLESTING OUR CHILDREN.
Not a penny should go to assist him. Let that burden fall on his family or "his friend" Bobby.
Federation funds,NO..NO..No..
An apology should be demanded from the people at the Federation that approved funds to this juravel person.
Come on, MOISES! Speask up, tell us this is not true! It is your duty to this wonderful community to set the record straight! Some of us give money we cannot afford just for the CAUSE! Our cause is not to help a monster who abused so many children we know and adore. MOISES! Just tell us why and help us understand.???
If you know who the person that continues to make the AA correlations is, who is it? This person loves to post on here and attempts to insult our intelligence in order to promote his/her agenda. Who is it? This person has no problem insulting me, I want to know the person behind the AA mask.
Has everyone on this board gone mad?! I'm not on the Federation Board, but I have been on the JEA Board, and every check that leaves that building on Abercorn Street (at least for the JEA) has to have two signatures - the director's and the JEA president's.
I can only presume that the SJF works the very same way. Consequently, it would be very difficult if not impossible to hide such a thing.
Everyone on this board needs to step back and think about what this is really supposed to be about: supporting the victims (survivors, as Vicki Polin calls them), educating our parents and children about how to avoid people like Juravel, and imploring those who have been victimized to come forward and speak to the authorities.
If not response comes from the Federation regarding funds being sent to juravel, I for one will certainly raise the question when there is an open meeting of the Federation and will not be told to "sit down" or that "I'm out of order".
The federation is out of order in donating any money to juravel.
What is it that people don't understand ? HE MOLESTED OUR CHILDREN ! Would his supporters feel so kindly towards him if their child was molested,wife was raped, husband beaten up.
This person molested CHILDREN, our children and we're sending him money and defending him. NUTS !
"I know who you are also and that was you who just responded, too! WE all know who you are. STop already. You do live here, you have made these comments to other people so we all know how you feel. The correlation to "AA" and the 12 step program hit the nail on the head!"
I give you permission to say my name.
Why are you so curious? The person, in truth, has said nothing that lacks integrity, it's just not very kind and considerate.
Let it go and get back to discussing Sam Juravel, if there is anything left to discuss until his trial.
If this person has issues with the "AA" (I take it that is the conservative shul), then leave him alone. Don't buy into his rhetoric and be, in his words "a sucker".
This is a blog. As long as one of the moderators feels that it is appropriate, anyone can post anything.
Shalom Senor:
Let's be freinds. Havanah Gila
Let's heal the world. Personally, I would like to make it a better place. Yes, for you and me and the entire human race. Currently, people are dying here. So, do you care enough about the living? Let us make the world a better place for you and for me.
Great Idea. In fact, I seem to remember a song like that a few years back. I think the sponcer was Coke.
One way to make a better place is not to forget that there are Child Molesters out there. Let's work together to expose these monsters to protect our children to insure that they will have a better place.
Let's make sure that CHILD MOLESTERS remain locked up,away from our children,getting the mental help they need while in prison, that we as taxpayers pay for. No money through Federations or other charity organizations for these people. The prison system will take care of them. Keep them locked up and the world will be a better place to live.
Great Idea: "Let's heal the world".
One way we can do that is to insure that child molesters get locked up and stay locked up.
Even the criminals in prison have "ethics", one being, don't mess with children.
Juravel will surely find that out once he receives a fair trial, is convicted and then put in prison.
The prison inmates have their own brand of justice for child molesters. There ain't no children in prison !
is gila in havana? did she give permission for others to know?
an apology should be demanded.
Yes, the words I posted are from a song. Actually, they were sung by a well known pedophile. You may have heard of him- Michael Jackson. It is still a good idea, just from a bad source.
doesn't anyone here feel any of the tsuris that shmuel's parents are undergoing? c'mon show a little rachmanis.
Sure, we all feel tsuris for juravel's parents. Now what ?
The rumor around is that they knew about hims activity in Baltimore and practially did nothing about it.
If that's so, I'm not sure if they arn't part of the blame.
If it isn't so, I certainly do feel sorry for them and they will have to deal with what their son has brought upon them.
Anyway, this blog is about shmuel and his perverse activity not about his parents.
It's interesting to note that shmuel nor his parents have never made a public statement regarding any feeling that they have or any remorse that they have. shmuel has never apologized to the community or to the CHILDREN THAT HE MOLESTED.NEVER !
Start a new blog about feeling sorry for juravel's parents if you want.
A blog which shows compassion to victims and brings offenders under control is a positive thing. Bashing, what does that accomplish? "He's no more Jewish than a muslam." What does this say about you? YOU.
YOU-WHO?
from birmingham... what exactly did this guy do to you and yours in savannah? was it a touch in a 'private spot'? was there actually a liaison? correct me if I am overlookoing something, but nothing actually took place here in birmingham. something was clearly attempted; all that evidence is very clear. however, nothing happened. I am not asking for any gory details, just a clarification of EXACTLY what you in savannah are so upset about.
are you NUTS? NUTS? NUTS?
the details are less important than the fact that he isn't us.
to the previous poster: you are an IDIOT!!!!!!!! Is just a touch in a "private part" ok with you?????????? He was inappropriate with many young boys.. he just got caught in Birmingham..
Follow this link to read the letter written by Eisgrau's daughter. It's extremely powerful and important!
http://jewishsurvivors.blogspot.com/2006/07/dear-family-by-eliezer-eisgraus.html
To the owner of this blog- I purposely posted the entire Eisgrau letter on here and yet you revamped my post by only pasting the link. I know many people that only read what is posted on this Juravel thread. They only read what is posted, they do not follow links. Other people may follow the link, but I thought that everyone should see the powerful words of this letter. Please paste the actual letter back in. You may think that your way is easier, but I assure you that all you are doing is cutting the number of people that would read the post. And they need to.
To the Birmingham poster.
What are you asking ? What ever juravel did with our children, he had no business doing it. No need to go into graphic details. He was out of line,big time out of line.
Note on the lack of responce from the Savannah Jewish Federation regarding their alleged donations to juravel.
Note on the lack of responce from juravel's "good friend: Bobby Isaacson regarding his assisting his "good friend,shmuel".
Good thing Bobby didn't have male children. They would have been that same age as some of the victims that his "good friend" juravel touched. Fourteen more days Bobby, and you can get your thrill in court defending your "good friend" juravel. You know, the guy that was caught by the FBI for setting up an appointemtn to have sex with children. I'll be in court and can't wait to see what defense you will be offering. Gee,your honor,he didn't mean to send three one hundred doller bills cut in half to show good faith of his intention to get with the boys. Gee,your honor, he didn't mean to fly to Atlanta,rent a car, drive to Birmingham,go to a motel,thinking he was going to have sex with young boys. Gee,your honor, he didn't mean to have child porn, condoms and other items with him. They just showed up. Gee,your honor !!!
Come on, now, lay off of Bobby. After all, they are "good friends".
The Sav.community is agast at Isaacson'e actions especially trying to raise money for juravel.
It's been said that his actions have caused a "split" between he and his wife.
He hasn't been in town,leaving her to "handle"the public.
For some reason that doersn't surprise me. After all, juravel is his "good friend".
