Rivky Stein & Yoel Weiss: Before Rosh HaShana all those who mistakenly believed Rivky and slandered Yoel should ask him for forgiveness

As everyone knows by now, Rivky perpetrated a massive fraud and chillul hashem. In particular she tried to destroy her husband by having a non-existent beis din issue a seruv and put him in cherem and "posken" that he was obligated to give her a Get. She has a $480 million dollar RICO claim against him. Even worse is the slander she spread in her public appearances and interviews with the news media - and her face book page.I think most people believed her claim until recently when Yoel produced an affidavit that showed the beis din was phony. You can see from the comments on her Facebook page that her followers have turned against her.

However because they believed her and sympathized with her - there was a massive campaign of lashon harah and slander against Yoel. He became one of the most hated people because of the campaign. His denials of the charges only made people angrier and spread more lashon harah about him.

I have been having a debate with myself. However many of the thousands of people who have slandered Yoel - are going to ask him for forgiveness before Rosh Hashanna? The answer I think is at most 5 people.  After all they were only being righteous people defending a helpless "aguna" - why should they have to apologize for showing mercy to what seemed like horrible domestic violence. After all she did have the documents from the beis din. She did have the legal papers. She did have many YouTube videos and she did seem that she was telling the truth.

I am giving all those who slandered Yoel the chance to ask him for forgiveness here on my blog. All it will take is to write a brief comment acknowledging that you slandered him and ask for forgiveness. It will take about 2 minutes.  Hopefully there will be more than 5 responses.

    Everyone will be accounted for, no one will be left behind. When it comes to
    spilling blood of your fellow Jew with loshon hora, the epsteins and ora
    squads come out of the woodwork in a blink of an eye. Not so when it comes to
    ask slicho umechilo. Remember, "Al titen es picho lachti es besorcho, veal tomar
    lifnei hamalach ki shgogo hi, lomo yiktzof H' al kolecho vechibel es ma'aseh
    yodecho". At best, to those that claim it was beshogeg, it is your chance to do
    tshuva befumbi, as you did when you accused the victim bekoilei koilos kovel kol
    haolam kulo. Even if you spill blood beshogeg but are not moide al hoemes,
    VeHoelokim ino leyodoi. You can not get away with it Scott free. You cannot fool
    the Ribono shel Olam, nor yourself, nor anyone else. This is to put all on
    notice asher yeshno po imonu hayom, va'asher enenu po hayom. You can run but you
    cannot hide. Hashem finds you wherever you are, bechorin ubisdakim, bechochim
    ubasvochim. Next time you hear such a smear campaign in the works, deal with it
    as if it were your own child before you join these Cossaks in a Pogrom. No one
    is above the law of Shmiras haloshon, it is a cherev pifiyos, if you live by the
    sword, you die by the sword!


    Shabbat Shalom umvorach.

  2. What about the other cases discussed on this blog where people tortured husbands to coerce a GET? Do they have to ask mechila for the attempted destroying of someone's reputation?

  4. This is alitmus test of mi vomi hahoilchim. Sitting on your hands beozlat yad without acknowledging how much you erred by being memaher lishpoch dam kamayim without retracting or remorse, talks volumes. Had you, and you, and you, meant it leshem shamayim umodeh al haemes you would have already said something. Asher yechto N.... Ashrei hador...
