Agudath Israel Statement of condemnation against International Beit Din

Image
 See  Conference of Synagogue Rabbonim of Agudath Israel Release Statement on the International Beit Din - Agudath Israel of America (agudah.org) It has come to our attention that the so called "International Beit Din" (IBD) has issued multiple heteirim for married women to remarry without a get, utilizing various methods and arguments. Gedolei Haposkim and multitudes of Rabbonim from across the spectrum have publicly decried the actions of the IBD and claim that their heteirim have no merit. The Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah and Conference of Synagogue Rabbonim of Agudas Yisrael join them in protest. Throughout the generations such matters were dealt with exclusively by universally recognized, foremost Gedolei Haposkim, in conjunction with other Gedolei Hador, and we firmly state that it is unprecedented and unacceptable for these matters to be dealt with in any other manner. We turn to Rabbonim from across the country and across the world, and to all who hold our Torah and ...

Rabbi Zalman Nechemia Goldberg A"H - Av Beis Din of Supreme Rabbinical Court in Jerusalem Denounces International Beit Din

Image
  Loose translation of above letter: 27 Kislev 5775 I hereby notify that I have no connection whatsoever with IBD [International Beit Din] to free Agunas & whomever is associating my name with them is completely false. I have already written about Gd forbid annulling marriages thereby causing married wife’s to birth bastards. It is strictly incumbent to be warned and careful against any association with IBD [International Beit Din] which can’t be trusted for anything, and indeed ANY Gett from IBD is suspect to be not in accordance with Halacha and whomever has any power or influence with IBD to protest and nullify their thoughts is highly encouraged to do so and they will merit blessings. I hereby undersign and affix my signature as Dayan & Av Bet Din: Zalman Nechemya Goldberg.

Yated Ne'eman Troubled by International Beis Din's psakim

 See  Yated Very Troubling Updated on International Beit Din for the full article. Excerpts below: " since a member of IBD espouses kefirah, this places a pesul upon any rulings of IBD." " Clear and Present Danger The women permitted by IBD to remarry without a get are part of the frum community, and any children born from their second husbands may very well end up marrying our children. Yes, this is a left-wing Orthodox problem that impacts the entire Torah community acutely and head-on. With kashrus, consumers are always urged to be careful to only purchase products that bear reliable kosher certification. Now, more than ever, we must insist on a “reliable hechsher” on all botei din as well."

Public Denouncement of International Beit Din by Rav Hershel Schachter, Rav Gedalia Dov Schwartz, Rav Nota Greenblatt, Rav Avrohom Union, and Rav Menachem Mendel Senderovitz

  Translation from https://jewishlink.news/advising-against-the-use-of-the-international-beit-din-a-translated-letter-from-rabbi-hershel-schachter-shlita/ To my Honorable Colleagues, Students, and Rabbis in every city, A few months ago, the International Beit Din for Agunot was established. Approximately two months ago, I reviewed a 23-page responsum in Hebrew written by a member of this beit din, on the subject of agency to write a divorce against a husband’s will, that is mistaken from beginning to end. Another four-page English responsum was shown to me, permitting an agunah to remarry due to invalid witnesses, based on the Ritva’s famous view. This is not the right path and not even the right city. The prohibition against adultery is not like the laws of mourning, for which we would say that the law follows the lenient opinion. It is always possible to be lenient based on a tiny doubt. The Sages taught us that wherever there is a Chillul Hashem, we set aside respect for a ...
