Representing the conclusion to one of the most emotionally challenging and dramatic cases handled by the rabbinical courts in recent memory, a Beit Shemesh resident was granted freedom from her husband this week.
She received her get (writ of divorce) after nearly fourteen years of efforts, including several months the husband spent in prison after being captured in Tel Aviv in a targeted manhunt.
KA, I read now your October 4, 1996 Jewish Week Emanuel Rackman opinion piece. “Nor do they mention my proposal for a survey of the modern woman regarding an abusive marriage being preferable to none at all.”
ReplyDeleteAbusive marriage = When most of us think of “abusive” partners, we may immediately think of physical violence. While physical violence often receives the most media attention, there are other ways for marriages and romantic relationships to be abusive. Partners may use physical, sexual, or psychological and emotional abuse to gain power and control over the other.
Abusive = extremely offensive and insulting, engaging in or characterized by habitual violence and cruelty, involving injustice or illegality.
NYS divorce law DRL section 240 makes it clear she is believed when she says he is abusive. Rabbi Rackman and Susan believe that she’d rather live alone than with an abusive husband. Courts NYS and Israel she wins when she claims she has an abusive husband. In Aranoff v Aranoff Susan has no husband (from 2/13/1997)---why is she winning these 30 years? Why is she fighting these 30 years? What did she accomplish with her fake/phony NYS Prus 2013 civil divorce? I don’t care about money. I never cared about money.
What is she suing for in A vs A?
ReplyDeleteKA “What is she suing for in A vs A?” I don’t know. What’s your guess? Sue = institute legal proceedings against (a person or institution), typically for redress, take legal action against · take to court · bring an action against, appeal formally to a person for something.
ReplyDeleteRight now my prayer is for granted rulings from both the NYS Court of Appeals on motion 21-981 and from SCOTUS on 21-6525. This will be like יציאת מצרים for me. Thank you God in heaven.
Details?
ReplyDeleteTorah thought parsha בא “People could not see one another, and for three days no one could get up from where he was; but all the Israelites enjoyed light היה אור in their dwellings. Pharaoh then summoned Moses and said, Go לכו, worship the Lord! Only your flocks and your herds shall be left behind יצג; even your children may go with you. But Moses said, You yourself גם אתה must provide us with sacrifices and burnt-offerings to offer to the Lord our God; our own livestock, too, shall go along with us---not a hoof shall remain behind; for we must select from it for the worship of the Lord our God; and we shall not know with what we are to worship the LORD until we arrive there.” (Exodus 10:23-26).

רש"י שמות פרשת בא פרק י פסוק כב
ויהי חשך אפלה שלשת ימים וגו' - חשך של אופל שלא ראו איש את אחיו אותן שלשת ימים. ועוד שלשת ימים אחרים חשך מוכפל על זה, שלא קמו איש מתחתיו. יושב אין יכול לעמוד, ועומד אין יכול לישב. ולמה הביא עליהם חשך שהיו בישראל באותו הדור רשעים, ולא היו רוצים לצאת, ומתו בשלשת ימי אפלה כדי שלא יראו מצרים במפלתם ויאמרו אף הן לוקין כמונו. ועוד שחפשו ישראל וראו את כליהם, וכשיצאו והיו שואלין מהן והיו אומרים אין בידינו כלום אומר לו אני ראיתיו בביתך ובמקום פלוני הוא:
My theory. Pharaoh is making a ridiculous offer: the entire people to go but without their livestock to make sacrifices to God in the desert. Moses answers to the point and adds that Pharaoh himself will offer livestock sacrifices to God. Moses had high hopes that Pharaoh will become good, much like Abraham with Ishmael, Isaac with Esau, and Jacob with Laban.
