guest post from "fedup with corrupt rabbis"
In my opinion this whole fiasco of Rabbi Kaminetsky and Rabbi Greenblatt is Hashem's way of throwing things back on our face. The Torah alludes to a fact that when one starts to "chip away" at the Torah, then the end result will be heresy. The Rabbis of the generation and especially Rabbi Kaminetsky who has been involved in countless divorce situations and almost always sides with the woman now has a situation which on the surface suggest heresy. This is the repercussion for "chipping away" of the Torah foundations regarding hilchos Gittin. What has been "chipped away" was the fundamental rights of a man in a GET process. Some rabbis got together 20-30 years ago and decided that we have an "Aguna " crisis and immediately started to attack men in divorce matters without justification other than money and greed.
This is evidenced by the arrest of Mendel Epstein and his cohorts. Evidence shows that monies were accepted to kidnap a non existent or goy at best husband! Same to the RCA who issued a Seiruv against this "non-existent" husband without due process of careful inquiry into the matter. This blog has covered many other famous divorce cases where the MAN has been vilified, but there is always another side to the story. I applaud Rabbi Eidensohn for challenging rabbis in their halachic decisions especially in matters with severe consequences such as this. Chazal state that where there is Chilul Hashem, don't worry about "Kavod Harav" but worry instead about Kovod Hamokom" . I have said many times that I dare anyone to find me one rabbi in this generation that has ever quoted the Gemoro in Shabbos Daf 139 that states "IF YOU SEE TRAGEDY OCCURRING IN YOUR COMMUNITIES, GO AND CHECK YOUR CORRUPTED RABBIS WHO TWIST HALOCHO OR JUDGEMENT".
We have seen many tragedies in the past years, so why has no one quoted a Gemoro that clearly explains to us the root cause of our sufferings? That's my point! We are living in a state of illusion that our Rabbis are grandiose and "without fault" and "surely don't take bribes" and therefore whatever they do is correct! Therefore Hashem shows us a rabbinic ruling so antithetical to the Torah to awaken us and show us how far we have strayed from the truth. You can argue with me all day, but when you see rabbis supporting women who litigate their husbands in the civil courts without a peep , clearly a major violation in Torah, extricating large sums of money from them, stealing their children, lending support to ORA and others to publicly shame and shun them etc. etc.. with no one today other than maybe Rabbi Gestetner protesting, you will surely get the wrath from heavens to answer for all the injustices.
Much was stated already before in this blog and in http://www.torahhalacha.blogspot.com/ about the halochos of marriage and divorce. Once you read it and study the Halochos, you will realize how far to the left have today's Rabbis have swung. Our sages took Divorce which was once allowed for a man to forcibly divorce his wife and decreed that it must be done with her consent. So now we have a situation where the modern day rabbis changed it again and allow for the woman to forcibly divorce her husband? They decided that any means is allowed.
Firstly , no Sholom Bayis is necessary as that was the duty of only "Aharon Hacohen". Then they allow litigating in the civil courts. So then you have a situation such as Aharon Friedman and others like him who went to Bais Din but they come up with all sort of excuses that his Bais Din is unacceptable yadayada. So when they later find themselves in a bind with no GET, the corrupted rabbis pull out their "wild card" called "annulment" and try that method to free the woman. Therefore its no wonder that Rabbi Kaminetsky with Rabbi Greenblatt allowed a woman to remarry without a GET despite all the evidence showing that it cant be done.
If we don't stop these breaches of Torah now, then I fear we will continue to spiral down the pathway of our reformed Jews and pretty soon you will see "reform Jews with beard and payos.
May Hashem save us from the transgressors of the Torah and may we merit to return to the authentic traditions of our Torah.
Listen, I don't know who this guest poster is, but for the moderator of this blog to post an article referring to "Kamenetzky" and "Greenblatt," without even referring to them with the honorific R', definitely can be defined as being mevazeh talmid chacham, and should not pass without protest from the readers here.
ReplyDeleteHello Stanley
ReplyDeleteDeluded.
ReplyDeleteYou think we are having more tragedies now than 100 years ago, 500, 1000?
Lucky the rabbis during the holocaust followed halacha or we may have suffered tragedy then too. Phew.
There is always tragedy and to try and point fingers at a particular time is a sign that you are a know it all with no judgement or sense.
From your post, I'm not sure what bothers you more, allowing an eishes ish to marry without a get or the fact that RK always sides with women.
ReplyDeleteCould the author let us know which tragedies he blames on this?
ReplyDeleteWith all due respect, this post is very wrong.
ReplyDeleteThe Rabbis of the generation.... who has been involved in countless divorce situations and almost always sides with the woman
Which Rabbis are you talking about? You seem to imply that all the Rabbonim of our generation behave this way. You are very wrong. Did you see how many Rabbonim protested against the Mund/Rubin fiasco? Were all those Rabbonim not rabboinm of our generation? How about a thank you to all the rabbonim protesting this terrible situation? you, Mr. Fedup, are also being meavis the din by throwing out such accusations at all rabbonim.
The Rabbis of the generation and especially Rabbi Kaminetsky who has been involved in countless divorce situations and almost always sides with the woman now has a situation which on the surface suggest heresy.
Heresy? Please! Why don't you explain how this is heresy?
Was Dovid Hamelech a heretic as well? Was Shaul Hamelech a heretic? Making a grave misjudgment and mistake does not turn a person into a heretic.
I have said many times that I dare anyone to find me one rabbi in this generation that has ever quoted the Gemoro in Shabbos Daf 139..
What, when and where?
Is this a case of המתכבד בקלון חברו?
If you are seeking to improve the situation, this letter will clearly not serve that purpose.
Once you read it and study the Halochos, you will realize how far to the left have today's Rabbis have swung.
All I see is כפיות טובה in this letter. Why am I, and you, interested in halacha? What happened to the millions of Jews who had come to this land? Why are we different? We are different due to the tremendously good work that our yeshivos and rabbeim have done. We owe them a great deal of gratitude. Your letter implies the opposite.
@Honesty . Your comments reveal an ORA troll. It appears that my comments hit the mark. Note that you have nothing of substance to add but rather you defeat the purpose of that Gemoro in Shabbos. The Gemoro is telling to do introspection and teshuva and to root out the evil Rabbis, but you instead decide to once again deny the facts and to continue the same trend.Therefore you are a denier of the Gemoro.I hope the end of ORA will come soon. People will start to realize that they are a money making machine that succeeds only because the generation has turned feminist. Their ideology is heresy and sooner or later they shall fall too.
ReplyDeleteYour comments reveal an ORA troll.
ReplyDeleteOK. So instead of answering my questions and points you just proclaim a conclusion that I'm somehow an "ORA troll." How about you do some logic and answering first, and you can leave your "conclusions" for the end?
It appears that my comments hit the mark.
Despite my points? If so, please answer them. Thank you.
What about the rainbow, does that signify anything? It has been there for 100, 500, 1,000+ years? People say that they noticed an unproportionate number of cancer cases amongst the heimishe young wives.
