Following an all out massive shame campaign by Rav Ahron of Satmar, a man finally gave his former wife a get.
The price tag: $3 million.
The Tosher Rebbe of Monsey who was previously detained in Israel has now been freed. A big kabalas panim is now underway.
The story began with a talmid from Tosh who married a woman in 1998.
After the marriage, her father got very rich. He used his wealth to support only certain mosdos and shuls which are affiliated with R' Zalman Leib of Satmar.
In or approximately 2012, the father-in-law got into a dispute with his son-in-law who davened at a different shul.
Ultimately the father-in-law convinced his daughter to leave her husband.
The woman did everything possible to antagonize and hurt her former husband. She dragged him to civil court (with permission from Rabbi Pinchos Rabinowitz), and ultimately alienating the 5 children from seeing their father. 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 hired enough lawyers and they were able to secure a final order of protection.
The woman married off all the children in Israel. Her hope was to get their father arrested in Israel due to his status of being a "get refuser."
At one point, seeing as his former wife was refusing to come to Bais Din to adjudicate the case, 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.
As part of the process of obtaining a Heter Me'ah Rabbonim, the man escrowed a get in bais din. In this fashion, once the woman is willing to adjudicate her divorce in bais din, she will receive her get.
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 last 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 her.
The chasuna took place in the Monsey area. A Skver dayan was mesader kiddushin. The Tosh Monsey Rebbe read the kesubah.
As previously reported here on FAA News, a few weeks ago, numerous Rabbonim associated with Rav Zalman Leib of Satmar, including Rabbonim from Eidah Hachareidus, sought help from the Israeli government to arrest the Tosh Monsey Rebbe while he was in Israel. The Rebbe was arrested at Ben Gurion Airport while attempting to leave the country.
As previously reported here on FAA News, seeing this arrest, Rav Ahron of Satmar - who became fearful he will also get arrested during his next trip to Israel - who originally lent his full support to the man, immediately turned a full 180 degrees against the man.
A massive shakedown campaign got underway to coerce the man into giving a get.
First, attempts were made to get his new wife to leave him. After that was unsuccessful, the man was thrown out of shul and his new wife's kids were threatened with expulsion from school.
Campaigns even got underway to urge his new wife's ex-husband to use the court system to alienate her from her children.
In addition, smear campaigns are going on against everyone who is helping the man. Claims were made that they are only helping him because they are getting paid to do so.
As previously reported here on FAA News, things got cranked up an even higher notch after Rav Ahron of Satmar issued a dire ultimatum - within 24 hours the man must either prove he still has 100 Rabbonim supporting his heter, or he must divorce his new wife or give his former wife a get.
The Rebbe vehemently stated that if his ultimatum is not met within 24 hours, he "will do whatever he needs to do."
As previously reported here on FAA News, the Rebbe deemed his ultimatum successful after the man took his new family and moved out of Kiryas Joel to Monsey.
Following this all out massive shame campaign by Rav Ahron of Satmar, and the relocation of his family to Monsey, the man finally gave his former wife a get.
The price tag: $3 million.
In addition, the Tosher Rebbe of Monsey has now been freed. A big kabalas panim is now underway in Monsey.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Her father played the stupidest game- time to pay up.
I'm confused. Who paid 3 million to whom?
What happen to the get that was in escrow?
I'm sure this guy incurred lots of expenses in the process of this Fiasco. I'm sure all that money is not all free and clear, and needs to pay money owed in the case. It probably cost him lots of time and money to get the heater meah Rabonim.
Glad they finally released the Tosher Rebbe. That's pure evil to have the Rebbe locked up for soo long over this rich man's stupid games. Yom Kippur won't be mechapir for his cruel acts.
Someone should break the news to him that he won't have all his money in the next World when he has to give accountability for his deeds of this world.
Biden paid Zelensky 3 billion for the Toshe Rebbe to go back to Monsey and for Rabbi Aroni to fly to the Zionist State after he meets President Donald in the Bais Lavan.
