RABBINICAL COURT SHAAR HAMISHPAT
17 MOSIER COURT, MONSEY NY 10952
Tel (845) 425 9708
RABBINICAL COURT WARNING AGAINST THE WOMAN MIRIAM PERLMAN WHO HAS GONE TO
SECULAR COURT AND HAS DESECRATED THE ALMIGHTY’S NAME AND AGAINST HER FATHER
MOSES (MOUSA) KOLODNY WHO STRENGTHENS HER HAND TO RISE AGAINST THE BIBLE OF
MOSES AND WHO IS GUILTY & SHOULD BE EXCOMMUNICATED
We are warning in a public manner that Miriam Perlman the
daughter of Moses (Mousa) Kolodny who has gone to secular court against her
husband Joseph Yerachmiel Perlman to make claim against him using the strength
of a gentile court for child support before she even once summonsed him to
rabbinic court, and afterwards while still in secular court, she invited him to
a particular court in order to receive a Get from him, since she can’t receive a
get from a secular court, and her husband answered that he is willing to be
judged as a defendant on all her claims in our Rabbinic court, without any
exception, and we sent her a letter of rabbinic court warning on the 7th day of
MarCheshvan (2nd Jewish month of the year) that before anything else, she needs
to completely leave secular court, as it appears in the Rema (the leading
commentator on the Code of Jewish law, in Choshen Mishpat chapter 26,
sub-chapter 1), that no one in rabbinic court should go to secular court.
And this particular woman, has rebelled against our warnings
and continues to make claims in secular court against her husband, and instead
of her father trying to make her go and listen to Jewish Law, he does the
opposite, to give a hand to sinners and to encourage in the hand of sinners, and
he wishes to protect her side, with (totally) worthless claims, as if it is
permissible for her to go to secular court for child support since it is
considered a “clear-cut obligation”, and clearly we won’t respond to such empty
and worthless claims like these. But regarding his second claim, which he claims
as a result of (his utter) ignorance, as if his son-in-law is obligated to offer
his daughter, (the choice of) a rabbinic court that she finds satisfactory, and
if not, she then has the right to impose on him rabbinic arbitration, and
therefore she can continue in court until her husband agrees to one of these two
options, and on this matter I will answer as follows:
1. It is unanimously agreed that the defendant has the power
to choose a rabbinic court, even if this (court) is undesirable to the
plaintiff.
2. The right of the defendant to choose a rabbinic court even
applies if this court is lesser in knowledge than the court the plaintiff
desires.
3. We hold according to Jewish law, that neither party can
force on the other the requirement to go to arbitration, even if it is
upstanding arbitration.
4. Everyone agrees that neither party can force on the other
the requirement to go to “invalid” arbitration, that (prevails) today.
5. The hand of the defendant, who has the law of the
“possessor” (equals 9/10 ths of the law) is stronger with regard to any
disagreements between the two sides – when there is a disagreement between
rabbinic commentators, and if this right (of the defendant) is removed due to
the opinion of the minority of rabbinic commentators, this has the halachic
status as “someone who errs regarding a stated law” (as opposed to someone who
errs regarding a logical deduction).
6. Everyone agrees that a defendant who is willing to go to an
upright rabbinic court, cannot be classified as someone who refuses to go
rabbinic court, even if he chooses against Jewish law (e.g. too distant like 5
hours), and there is thus no permission to go to the secular courts, and how
much more so when he chooses in accordance with Jewish law, like in this case.
And anyone who (in this circumstance) relies on a corrupt permit is called a
sinner and a deliberate one at that. (And see the next page, the sources from
where we have based these axioms, with many sources of Jewish law, from very
powerful words from our coders of Jewish law, from whose mouths we live and from
whose waters we drink)
From everything mentioned above, all of Miriam Perlman the
daughter of Mousa Kolodny’s stance of going to court , has no basis of
permission at all. She has the law of someone who has lifted her hands against
the Bible of Moses, one who desecrates the Almighty’s name and one who shows
endearment to idolatry, and one who blasphemes and it is incumbent on rabbinic
court to excommunicate her, as is brought down in the Code of Jewish law, in
Choshen Mishpat chapter 26, sub-chapter
1. And similarly we are warning her father with a very harsh
rabbinic court warning, that if he continues heaven forbid to strengthen her
hand in secular court, the law that is applicable to him is clear in the Rema
that it is necessary to excommunicate those who strengthen the hands of those
who go to secular court and this is brought down by the Beth Joseph (the actual
author of the code of Jewish law in his own commentary on the Tur (another
authoritative book on Jewish Law) ) , and his source is the RIVASH, the RECANTI,
MAHARASHDAM, the wolf Benjamin, the RASHVASH, Maareh Sason, and the Panim Meirot.
And once more, we are warning this woman, that any Get which
is imposed on her husband (to give you) through any pressure and especially from
the secular courts, will be invalid and null and void, and you will remain a
completely married woman, and if you, Heaven forbid, remarry relying on this
invalid Get, your children from your second will be complete “bastards”, in
regards to every matter until the end of the generations (i.e. forever and
ever), therefore understand the matter before you , this is a game of fire.
[And we are informing you that the rabbinic judges who sit on
our rabbinic court “the gate of justice” – they are different judges from us,
who have no idea what is currently taking place at this branch called “the
guardians of justice” who deal with protecting the rights of a party in rabbinic
court and are “clean” (free) from any knowledge of what has taken place
previously.] And we now turn to anyone who has it within his/ her power to
influence this woman and her father mentioned above to leave the courts, has an
obligation to do so, and his share will be amongst those who cause merit and who
strengthen the religion, and those who offer the warnings and those who listen
to them, are like the waters of the river.
Regarding this, I hereby affirm our seal, in the name of the
other Rabbinic court judges of the brach “Upholders of Justice” , Monday, 25th
day of Teves, 1st day of Haunkah, 5769.
(RABBI) Abraham Samuel Judah GESTETNER
Head of the rabbinic court of branch “Those who guard justice”
