JUSTICE DENIED -
PASSAIC, NJ
Case of Menachem Lowy of Passaic, NJ
1. "BITUL SERUV" LETTER
The Hebrew "BITUL
SERUV" letter below, written by a prominent Bais Din (rabbinic court),
exposes and nullifies a fraudulent "SERUV" (rabbinic contempt) document
which has been exploited by the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot ( ORA
), the Jewish Press, and other
unscrupulous feminists to harass and defame Mr. Lowy.
HALACHA ( Torah law
) forbids Bais Din hearings at night, a valid "SERUV" requires three
valid HAZMANOS ( summonses to Bais Din) and not just one, and a "SERUV"
cannot be issued to a Defendant while the Plaintiff ( in this case the wife
) is operating in non-Jewish courts. Furthermore, a "SERUV" cannot be issued
against a Defendant if the Defendant has responded that he will appear
before another Bais Din. Even IF a valid "SERUV" has been issued against an
individual, it is known that HaRav HaGaon Moshe Feinstein ZT"L opposed the
imposition of "SERUVIM" !
Amazingly, all the
HALACHIC facts described above were conveniently omitted by certain
unscrupulous feminist "rabbis" who falsely claimed to certain easily
manipulated "Baalei Tshuvah" that Mr. Lowy was "in cherem" !!!
EXCERPTS (Unofficial translation) from the HEBREW "BITUL SERUV" Letter
Below:
"... a certain Bais Din utilized a ploy and suddenly summoned (Mr. Lowy)
to a hearing at 10:30PM on a nite he was not able to appear. When the husband
did not appear, they rushed to publicize a fraudulent "SERUV" (contempt order)
against him three days later - despite the fact that he had informed them in
writing that he was referring the matter to Bais Din Kedushas Levi - due to the
first Bais Din's failure to protest while the wife was litigating in civil court
against the husband. We were shown a "SERUV" issued against the wife
( Rona Lowy - Rivka Lowy ) by the Bais
Din of Kedushas Levi, along with documents proving that she was litigating in
civil court [in violation of halacha]. . .
Being that certain rabbis in Passaic, New Jersey
are following a crooked path - if any man's wife demands a GET (religious
divorce) they deprive the man of privileges if he stands up for his rights under
Jewish law - they then allow his "blood" and pursue him with various pressures -
disgracing him and banning him from synagogues while utilizing "HARCHAKA
D'RABBEINU TAM" (distancing the husband based on Rabbeinu Tam), even though the
husband has committed no crime.
A man who divorces his wife due to the pressure
of "HARCHAKA D'RABBEINU TAM" - when the man is not required to divorce his wife
- then the GET is totally invalid. ... we bring Pischei Tshuvah, Shach, Mahari
Ben Lev, etc. that nowadays distancing a man is not done ... Also see Bais Yosef,
Maharik, Rashdam, Gro, Tzemach Tzedek, Igros Moshe etc. ... If a man divorces
his wife under the pressure of disgrace - this will result in a coerced and
invalid GET. If the wife remarries then her children from the second husband
will be full fledged MAMZERIM (illegitimate) ... This was ruled as practical
halacha according to all the poskim without exception ..."
