Important letter from Rav Hershel Schachter, Rav Gedalia Dov Schwartz, Rav Nota Greenblatt, Rav Avrohom Union, and Rav Menachem Mendel Senderovitz regarding the "International Beit Din"

 למותר לא דין ולא דיין שטות דבריאלא של לפוסקים עצמם שמינו קלים
בינלאומיים, כבי ד" שבלשכת הגזית, לפגוע בקדושת ישראל שע"י חופה וקידושין
וחבל על בזה ולהאריך הדיו ועל הנייר נטע צבי גרינבלט, מעמפיס, כ"ב תמוז תשע"ה

    of course

    He was just following orders they are initiating

    Well somebody gave orders in the ibd. But I don't accept your analysis. Greenblatt may have been duped, but he refused to retract. Also, if he is a worthy posek, he has to think independently. Look at Rav shacter - originally supported rsk - then he went silent and withdrew completely.

    "The process by which Epstein was allowed to remarry has come under


    scrutiny, according to several sources. At issue is whether her marriage


    to Friedman was satisfactorily annulled.














    Rabbi Nota Greenblatt officiated at her wedding in Memphis. When


    asked how he decided Epstein was free to marry again, Greenblatt said,


    “I do not discuss these matters. These are very private.”




    The Rabbinical Council of Greater Washington also declined to comment


    on whether it plans to lift its ban issued four years ago against


    welcoming Friedman into the community."

    Having a heter might help in olam haba, even if it is a weak heter. All one needs to show is the paperwork, and it will reduce the degree of gehennom.
