How can any Beth Din that has Judges handing out bogus seruvim be acceptable? Why would anyone go to
the Beth Din of America unless they have accepted your bribe and you already know what the outcome of
their decision will be?
Rabbi Pinkas, Brooklyn, NY
I was considering coming to the Beth Din of America to handle my divorce, but after reading your
information, I have decided to move to another Beth Din. If this much crap has been publicized about their
judges, I can only imagine what has NOT been publicized.
D. Birnbaum, Flatbush NY
Halacha dictates that no Beth Din discussion should take place in the absence of the parties, following the
ruling of the Shach in Choshen Mishpat Siman 13:8. Such a GET (extracted after an unlawful discussion) is
therefore an unlawfully coerced GET, even if there were Halachically valid reasons for the coercion. Should
the husband be coerced and give a coerced GET, any children from the mother are mamzerim. This is Beth
Din 101. The Beth Din of America is creating a population of mamzerim. I must also comment about some
Rabbis and Beth Dins who try and find a problem with the Kiddushin, perhaps it was a ‘mistaken
kiddushin’. Allowing a woman to remarry on this basis is again just creating more mamzerim.

Rabbi Arye “Larry” Dudovitz, a Chabad/Lubavitch Rabbi who sexually abused a 15-year-old boy back in
2006, pleaded guilty. Rabbi Dudovitz said that he met one-on-one with Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz, the
head of the Beth Din of America. Dudovitz also stated that he met with other high-ranking rabbis on the
Chicago Rabbinical Council. As a rabbi, Schwartz would be considered a mandated reporter for reporting
child abuse. Why didn’t Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz report this child abuser or better to handle it in his
own Beth Din? He was obviously trying to protect one of his own. This makes Schwartz biased toward
Rabbis and unable to serve as a judge. Who knows what other rules and laws he will want to disregard
when dealing with your case? Yochanan Frankel, Telshe Yeshiva, Chicago, IL
So sickening to see the GET lunatics on the Internet. To all of them. There is a True and Just G-d who runs
the world and will stop these crazy so-called rabbis who break and desecrate Jewish law and Jewish
marriage. Feces like Mendel Epstein have been shown to the world to be inhumane and that their motives
are money and power and not religion. In terms of religion:
1) These so-called rabbis break Jewish law in the worst of ways. The Targum Yerushalmi on the verse "lo
sachbol reichayim vorochev" states that a person who mixes in someone’s marriage or causes animosity
between a husband and wife has No Portion in the World to Come.
2) Jewish law states that except in extremely rare cases such as a "divorce" is invalid, the children of a future
marriage are mamzerim - thank Mendel Epstein, Shlomo Weissmann and Michael Broyde for causing the
increase in mamzerim.
3) The above-mentioned lunatics generally take women who are suffering from post-partum anxiety and
convince them to fight for divorce against all medical advice and against real rabbis who do follow Torah.
They are inhumane and fight against humane rabbis who fight hard to save marriages. May they all be
stopped soon by Hashem, just as Mendel Epstein, Shem Reshoim Yirkav (may the names of evil people be
blotted out) forever. Yamin Posternick, Passaic, NJ.
Nobody should use the prenuptial agreement of the Beth Din of America. It is against Halacha and gives
the woman the power to claim money, children, property and alimony by using the goyisha civil court to
force their husband to give a GET. Only a fool would sign such a document. Where are the Rabbis when
an orthodox woman takes her husband to civil court and claims the kids, money and all the possessions?
Until women start treating men fairly in divorce, no man should sign a prenup.
Rabbi Friedlander, Seattle WA.
Why not just start dividing all the property, money and future children before you are married too? A prenup
is a document which a spouse can always look at during their marriage and decide if they want to stay
in the marriage. Making it easy to get out of a marriage, will certainly increase the orthodox divorce rate,
something we don’t need. The Ketubah and Gemora Gittin explain quite clearly how to handle divorce for
Jews. Bringing in the civil courts is a Chillel Hashem (Mesirah) and only a goy would even suggest such a
thing.
There are numerous reasons why you SHOULD NOT sign a prenup.
1) Most all pre-nuptials are coercive. A woman will force the man into the agreement or call off the marriage.
2) There is no quid pro quo - You pay money for a car with a contract. You get something for your money,
being a car. Where is the consideration for a man to sign this prenup? It is totally one sided.
3) Many prenups are initiated by a third party, usually a parent, rabbi or friend. They think they are helping
protect the woman, but they are only helping break up the marriage. What hard feelings will be going
through the man’s head during the marriage when coerced to sign a prenup?
4) Going into any marriage while holding a document about its failure cannot make for a healthy marriage.
5) There is nothing in Jewish law: Talmud or Shulchan Aruch that requires a man to have a prenup.

Hey Sokol, you probably don’t remember me Chaim Goldberg, but back many years ago you were a Judge
alongside with Harav Nota Greenblatt (Nifter 04/29/22) and another fellow running a Beth Din in Kansas
City, Missouri. You guys handled my GET quickly and professionally. I appreciated that. Greenblatt was a
(Misader Gittin) Jewish world-renowned expert in the laws of Gittin and a brilliant Talmud Chacham,
actually one of Rav Moshe Feinstein’s foremost Talmidim who decided to live in Memphis, Tennessee.
Being that he picked you to be a co-Judge alongside him, I have to believe that you know what you are
speaking about. I have found nothing in this website that can be contradicted. Good job!
Chaim Goldberg, Formerly of Kansas City, MO.
Hello Rabbi
I like your 10 steps to become a validated agunah satire, but what struck a chord more than that was the
parental alienation that takes place. Most parents who teach their children to alienate the other parent
don’t realize the massive amount of harm they are causing, much more than being vengeful to the
other parent. It teaches the children hate, vindictiveness, and nastiness for generations. What happens
when a child gets diabetes, heart disease, asthma, breast cancer or ovarian cancer? These and other cancers
have a hereditary component due to mutations in genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2. Likewise, with Marfan
syndrome, Huntington’s disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Sickle Cell Anemia among many others. These problems
CAN be passed down from just ONE parent to their child(ren). Knowing your family medical history can
help identify potential risks and guide proactive healthcare decisions. What parent would not want the best
healthcare for their children? Too many women get caught up in the alienation and fail to care for their
children; which only proves that these women care more about revenge and money than their children. I
hope your children and grandchildren read my letter.
Rebbetzin Dr. Katz, Boca Raton, FL
I did a Google search for the terms Defamation, Slander and Libel. The common denominator for all three
legal terms is: Truth. The truth is the legal remedy for Defamation, Slander and Libel. So it’s obvious that
since this website is still up and kicking, it must be that what you are saying is the Truth (Emet).
