SELAH MAYA ZIGHELBOIM | JE STAFF
THIS PAST YEAR will go down as evi-
dence that the Jewish community is not
immune to crime.

Th e Jewish Exponent has been follow-
ing a handful of cases of particular inter-
est to readers in the Jewish community.

Th ey include a former Alpha Epsilon Pi
fraternity president facing sexual assault
charges, a man who pleaded guilty to uri-
nating on a synagogue, a Jewish woman
charged with two counts of homicide and
an Israeli fl ag vandal who continues to
elude police.

Here’s a roundup of the latest updates
on those cases.

AEPi Sexual Assault Case
Attorneys will argue whether to consol-
idate the cases of Ari Goldstein, the former
president of Temple University’s AEPi chap-
ter facing two sets of sexual assault charges,
at a pretrial motion scheduled for March 1.

SOMETHING PEOPLE SEEM to love to
do with respect to Alison Perelman’s good
government nonprofi t, Philadelphia 3.0, is
to use its name to make a point.

David Th ornburgh, director of the
century-old good government group
Committee of Seventy, describes his own
organization as having been “Philadelphia
1.0” back in its early days; meantime,
Louis Agre, Democratic leader of the 21st
Ward, derisively referred to the eff orts
of Philadelphia 3.0 in Th e Philadelphia
Inquirer as neceSomessitating a new
name, “Philadelphia 0.3.”
