24-year-old Motty Borger jumped from the balcony of a hotel in Brooklyn the night after his wedding. The New York Post postmortem – Suicide groom twist reports that Motty Borger told his bride he was a victim of abuse .

Oh I get it, it’s like you have all the bar mitzvah boys on tape. It’s very easy to check if there are videos of the boys (and girls) strapping more than a pair of tefillin.
