A WAKEUP CALL TO JEWISH MEN

 

 

By Menachem Ben David                                                                                 BS"D

 

In various Orthodox Jewish communities, well-organized "Orthodox" feminists and their so-called "rabbis" are committing severe halachic violations and cruel injustices against Jewish men.

 

These types of incidents are becoming more commonplace: 

 

bullet

women obtaining fraudulent “heterim” to sue their husbands in civil court

bullet

fathers being ejected from their homes and incarcerated due to false domestic violence charges

bullet

fathers prevented from seeing their children due to restraining orders and falsified abuse charges

bullet

fathers being forced to pay unconscionable amounts of child support and alimony, and being jailed when they lose their jobs

bullet

men robbed of their homes and assets in civil court

bullet

men banned from shuls due to phony “seruvim”

bullet

character assassination committed against decent men

bullet

men fired from their jobs due to harassment by feminist activists

bullet

decent men being denounced in public from the bully pulpits of feminist “shuls”

bullet

Jewish men coerced to give invalid Gittin by feminist rabbis & groups

 

No man reading this letter should be so naive as to believe that what is happening to many other decent, law abiding, professional, Jewish men cannot happen to him, G-d forbid. The feminist activists and their corrupt “rabbis” are causing the destruction of many Jewish families and destroying Jewish fathers. In the Modern Orthodox and secular communities, above-ground feminist groups are well organized and exert great influence over many of the rabbis and the Jewish media. In certain Black Hat type Orthodox communities, underground feminist groups operate stealthily, pressuring rabbis to deprive men of their halachic rights. There is little or no opposition to these groups.

 

The feminists are also causing a terrible outbreak of mamzerus due to the numerous “Get Meoso” (coerced Get) they are causing. These Gittin are invalid al pi Torah, and should the “divorced” woman remarry, she is an adulterer and her children are mamzerim! Kosher Jews are prohibited from marrying mamzerim! Are you aware of the implications of this to Klal Yisroel? Your own children, going on shidduchim, could, G-d forbid, be introduced to children from a divorced mother whose Get from a previous husband was invalid !

 

The problem of feminist witch hunts against Jewish men and coerced Gittin is so severe that a group of the leading Torah sages in the world wrote a letter Rav Elyashev Letter denouncing the widespread “Get M'useh” occurring today. HaRav Elyashev, shlita, denounces “unfit individuals who dare to be involved in forcing Gittin.” HaRav Shlomo Miller states that “The situation in America is absolutely terrible ...”.

 

The terrible aveirah of mesirah (informing on a Jew), one of the most severe prohibitions in the Torah, is being encouraged by the feminists on a regular basis. Women are being encouraged to use the court system and false restraining orders in violation of halacha. This problem has also been so widespread that a large group of Gadolei Torah released a letter Kol Koreh - M'sirah warning Jews about the severe prohibition of m'sirah, for which the moser loses their olam ha bah. The letter explains how Gittin obtained through the court system are invalid, and monies obtained are g'zailah (robbery).

 

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE SITUATION?

 

Jews committed to the survival of Torah true Judaism should study the letters referred to above, which address critical halachic issues. Ask your local shul rabbis to learn these letters with you. Supposedly Orthodox Jews who mock these halachos and slander these Gadolim are Reform Jews in disguise!

 

Have you been told that certain men “have not given a Get”, as if to imply they are obligated by halacha to do so? Be aware that divorce on demand is a non-Jewish concept and totally contrary to halacha. Did you know that only a Bais Din which a man appeared before has the authority to coerce the man to give a Get (see Rav Elyashev Letter )? A woman's personal rabbanim have NO authority to coerce the women's husband to give a Get! Before accepting that any woman is entitled to a GET, demand to see a written document which contains the name, address, phone number, and seal of a known, honest Bais Din, which the man voluntarily appeared before, and which states that the man is required to give a Get. Remember that the Torah refers to a Get as “sefer kerisus”, and that the Shulchan Aruch and Chareidi halachic authorities hold that all divorce issues should be resolved before a Get is done.

 

Decent men are being harassed, slandered, and vilified using phony seruv documents, rumors, innuendos, false agunah claims, etc. Do not believe verbal claims, rumors, slander and hearsay against parties involved in divorces. Demand to see written proof! Be aware that the feminists and their “rabbis” may use deception and  fraud while exploiting the lack of knowledge of the Jewish community in divorce matters. Have you been told that certain men are in “cherem” or a seruv was issued against them? Demand to see the “seruv” letter! If the “seruv” does not include the name, address, phone number, and seal of a known, reliable Bais Din, do not accept it. The letter should also state a reason for the seruv, that three hazmanos were given to the man, and that he refused to appear before any Bais Din. (See DINTORA_LEKETDIBREPOSKIM .

 

Domestic violence laws and the court system are being abused to commit terrible injustices against men. If you are told that a women received a “heter” to go to court, ask to see the heter in writing. Be aware that a single rabbi cannot give a “heter” to a woman to sue her husband in court ( Kol Koreh - M'sirah ). Does the heter have the name, address, phone number, and seal of a known, honest Bais Din on it? Does the heter state that three hazmanos were sent to the man, and that he refused to appear before any Bais Din? If a woman called the police on her husband due to “domestic violence”, ask if she was in a life threatening situation without being able to escape. See paragraph five of the Kol Koreh - M'sirah. Remember that paragraphs six and seven of the KolKoreh letter explain it is forbidden to assist mosrim, rather Jews are obligated to rescue their victims if possible. It is also a mitzvah to publicly expose the names and addresses of mosrim and their supporters to the Jewish community.

 

Years ago certain “Orthodox” rabbis began to deviate from the basic principles of the Torah, resulting in the founding of the Conservative movement. History is now repeating itself. Today a small network of “Orthodox” feminists and their rabbis in various communities are committing terrible aveiros against our Jewish brothers. They are the shock troops of a revitalized Conservative movement. Be careful not to join with them!
