DEVELOPING STORY: TOSH REBBE FROM MONSEY ARRESTED IN ISRAEL



The Tosh Monsey Rebbe has been detained in Israel by the Israeli government through efforts of insiders of an opposing chassidus, a FAA News investigative report reveals.


The story began with a talmid from Tosh who married a woman in 1998.


In or approximately 2012 the parties separated, with the woman filing in civil court (with permission from Rabbi Pinchos Rabinowitz), ultimately the father lost his connection with all his children. At this point, the youngest child is too young to even remember ever seeing his father in their home.


The woman obtained numerous orders of protection against her former husband. The first couple of times the husband was able to get the orders dropped by the courts. However, eventually the woman was able to secure a final order of protection.


At one point, the man embarked on obtaining a Heter Me'ah Rabbonim. This ambition got delayed at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Subsequently, he renewed his efforts.


Many Rabbonim from R' Aron of Satmar's community, including Rav Getzel Berkowitz, a respected dayan from Satmar, and Rav Yosef Yisroel Eisenberger, the Skver dayan, signed on the Heter Me'ah Rabbonim.


Earlier this year, around Purim time, the man was engaged to remarry. Rav Aron of Satmar gave his full blessings, telling him "run, don't walk" to remarry.


The chasuna took place in the Monsey area. A Skver dayan was mesader kiddushin. The Tosh Monsey Rebbe read the kesubah.


Numerous Rabbonim associated with Rav Zalman Leib of Satmar, including Rabbonim from Eidah Hachareidus, sought help from the Israeli government to now detain the Tosh Monsey Rebbe while he was in Israel.

" with permission from Rabbi Pinchus Rabinowitz". Please elaborate! Was the man issued three hazmonos and a siryuv? Was the heter issued by a ב'ד or just by Rabbi Rabinowitz? The devil is in the details.

Why does any body need to alaborate with he will just get the orders dropped by the courts.Also why is someone asking Rabbi for your permission.Just like every other American in our world its called Devorce Papers so it's legal and filed with our Federal Government.

Indeed, Rabbi rabinowitz is always דן יחידי

Isn't it ironic that the 2 Satmar factions BOTH don't recognize the State of Israel, yet, now one faction has used the Israeli rabbinate, part of the government, to arrest the "other" Satmar Rebbe?
