SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF KINGS
MIRIAM HERSH and MICHAEL HERSH, Plaintiff.
-against-
ELIZABETH REBECCA COHEN. RAPHAEL COHEN, ARYEH LARRY WOLBE. ELI WOLBE. ZVI GLUCK, JOSHUA AMBUSH, ARIEL FISHMAN, HINDA FISHMAN, EFFI GOLDSTEIN, ABE LIFSCIHTZ, AYELET MEHLMAN, SARA KREISLER, YOSEF SHIDLER, and JOHN DOES #1-20, Defendants.
Index No. 006170/2009
AFFIRMATION OF ELIZABETH REBEKAH COHEN
I hereby affirm, under penalty of perjury, as follows:
My name Is Elizabeth Rebekah (Rivka) Cohen, I reside at 559 Cedarhill Road, Far Rockaway, New York:. I am the sister of the plaintiff Miriam Hersh and the aunt of Isaac and Sol.
I am the legal guardian of the Hersh's twin boys, Isaac and Sol, whose custody was transferred to me by an emergency order of the New York Family Court in 2008. These children have been living with me since then, after suffering many years of abuse, abandonment and neglect by their parents. The judge transferred custody to me after interviewing Isaac and recognizing that these children finally deserve a loving home.
Unfortunately, anyone who has tried to help and protect these children was immediately threatened by Michael Hersh through phone calls, threats of lawsuits, actual lawsuits and police reports. As early as 2005, I received a threatening letter from an Israeli lawyer demanding $500,000 from me for expressing my concern for these children. In 2007, Mr. Hersh sued me for defamation, which of course did not succeed. Now he has just filed another lawsuit against me.
Since filing this lawsuit, I received a call from a detective from the New York City Police Department informing me that Mr. Hersh reported that J stole his wife's social security number. The detective was naturally suspicious of the report and asked if I was having some kind of fight with Mr. Hersh. I told the detective that I was granted custody of Mr. Hersh's two children and the detective responded "Oh, I didn't know .... I guess he didn't tell me the whole story."
I have been told that Mr. Hersh has also filed police reports against his own brother in Connecticut and against Isaac's faster parent in Texas.
These lawsuits and police reports have unfortunately been a price that I have had to pay for helping to protect these children. But to the extent that the court has the power to end it, I would be eternally grateful.
