Dear Board Members, Rabbi Coopersmith,

I want to reiterate that my purpose in writing these emails is to explain why is Rabbi Greenman trying so hard to besmirch me and why he contrived this scheme to shut me up. Why is he and the Aish Board will not agree to a FAIR and IMPARTIAL bais din??
Rabbi Greenman thinks that by accusing me, his crimes will stay under the rug. This will not happen. The abuse of my naivete going thru this corrupt process of this 'arbitration' will not hold in court. 

I will remind you that Aish NY still holds in escrow (illegal one at that) over $500K of our money and approximately $1.8 million in the hedge fund balance (which I already mentioned is the proceeds of mortgages I took out in April 2013). Further more, all our real estate holdings, some of which belong to my parents and others, were put into this escrow as well.

You need to be aware that because of the the precipitous decline in Andrew Shechtel's donations to Aish NY (as Mark Charendorff realized that he was being lied to by Rabbi Greenman),  Rabbi Greenman started to look for an exit plan. He contacted a fledgling not for profit called Yeshivat Ohr Yisrael in Monsey and offered his help. In fact, he started to support that yeshiva from Aish's money with great sums and regularity. Rabbi Greenman told me and others that he was looking to move on and head that organization. Rabbi Greenman was instrumental in securing land for them and I understand that they are in the process of obtaining building permits. Is this what you authorized him to do? take donors money supposedly for Aish NY and funnel it to another organization so he can prepare his next job?


Please see attached
2010 Kenneth Greenman w2 
2011 Kenneth Greenman w2
2011 Lauren Greenman w2 (first year that Lauren was put on payroll - incidentally, Project Ahavas Yisrael was started years before - clearly not compensation for that..)
2012 Kenneth Greenman w2
2012 Lauren Greenman w2
   
To sum up please review the following

Year

Rabbi Greenman reportable income (w2)





Kenneth
Lauren
Annual total:
2010
$151,408.00


$151,408.00








2011
$81,007.00
$44,735.00
$125,742.00








2012
$101,409.00
$50,000.00
$151,409.00

















You will notice that the 2010 compensation for Rabbi Greenman and the combined Kenneth and Lauren compensation for 2012 is the exact same amount. The only reason to add Lauren to the payroll was to shield his compensation from the board, the donors and others (as the Exec. Directors compensation is reported on the 990's). I will remind you that this W2 compensation is not including about $75k in tuition payments and his mortgage payments that were paid directly from Aish. His real total compensation was about $400k.
