Tamar Epstein's Heter: This issue will only be resolved if Aharon Friedman files a massive lawsuit against those who have tried to destroy him

It has been convincingly argued that the only way to resolve this crisis is through a lawsuit. In this post I will present the need  for a multimillion dollar suit for defamation against Rav Shmuel Kaminetsky and his son Shalom , Rav Nota Greeenblatt, Tamar and her family, ORA and their halachic advisor Rav Schachter, the Goldfein's, the beis din that issued a phony seruv against Aharon, the Silver Spring community, the anonymous therapist who wrote the report against Aharon and a number of other individuals. There are no lack of lawyers who would like the job and would take it on a contingency basis and who feel that it won't be difficult to win. It is not a problem finding a beis din that will permit the lawsuit.

Probably the only reason that it hasn't happened so far is Aharon Friedman's lack of vindictiveness and  optimism that people will finally understand the injustice that has been done to him. He hopes that he will soon get back his reputation and the greater access to his daughter that he has requested and he will reciprocate by giving Tamar a Get. In short he is a mensch and has no desire for revenge. He also still hasn't lost his faith in the case being resolved in Beis Din. 

However unless the entire Agudah gets involved - it is not going to happen.  I will argue that he will not get his repuation back without a lawsuit to motivate people to change. This post also serves as a wakeup call to those who feel if they stonewall - that the storm will pass eventually. Simply put - time is running out for an alternative solution.
