What's the connection between Rabbi Yaakov Menken and the Smilow Family?

CALL TO ACTION: Contact the Smilow Family and make sure they are aware of the serious allegations made against Rabbi Yaakov Menken, Founder - Torah. org

I don't know what the connection is between the Smilow family and Rabbi Yaakov Menken, yet I do know his organization is advertising their upcoming Pesach event. Below you will find a copy of the mailing he sent out to his mailing list today.

Please help to make sure the Smilow Family is aware that Rabbi Ken Menken (executive director of Torah.org) confessed to Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetzky of having sexual contact with a young adult woman who came to him for spiritual guidance. This type of behavior is called clergy sexual abuse.

You might want to suggest that in the future it might be better if they used a different organization to advertise their events in the future.

this seems to be an advertisement. the smilow family probably paid for this since lots of people are on torah.org's email list and they thought it would be a good way to get the word out about their pesach retreat.
