Rabbi Katz who signed a "heter meah rabbanim" to a Monsey Get-Refuser Retracts His Position! Case now reaches Israel!

This has been loosely translated from Hebrew! 

The Get-Refuser came to Israel before Sukkos for a short visit,  his wife an Israeli citizen found out about this and managed to get an order not allowing him to leave the country until he gives her a proper divorce! 

His family came to Israel to be with him for Sukkos, after they realized that their dear beloved Get-Refuser would not be able to leave the country and may even face Jail, even though he is an American citizen! He is already married to another woman with the help of a bunch of rabbanim who got paid to sign a heter meah rabbanim! 

So the husband's family started a campaign, hanging and distributing peshqvils all over Yerushalayim, on the eve of Sukkot, which was written and signed by three rabbanim explaining on what basis they gave the "heter meah rabbanim" ," thus dragging Rabbi Katz the Tosher Dayen in Monsey into this mess!

 Rabbi Katz had sent letters to the Bais Din previously, stating that he was retracting and acknowledging the fact that he made a mistake and that it was really forbidden to have given the permit of "heter meah rabbanim" to the get-refuser!

 His family, the enablers, want to prove to the frum public in Yerushalyim that the heter meah rabbanim was done according to halacha!

Family members tried to get the U.S. Embassy involved but found out that there was nothing they could do because the woman is an Israeli citizen and has every right to sue him in Israel, and he will be forced to stay in Israel as long as there is no solution to the problem. 

Attempts to argue that the Israeli court and the rabbinical court do not have jurisdiction to hear this case have been rejected, and it is now clear to them that they will be forced to go through the process in Israel, which means that without convincing the Israeli rabbis that he has a legitimate heter he will be forced to stay in Israel, and it is possible that at some point when it turns out that he is the actual cause of this situation he will even go to prison as happened in another case. where the husband spent a long time in prison, even though they were both residents of the United States

Many askanim have gotten involved in the matter because this situation is not getting any better but getting more complicated because the wife has had enough of these rabbanim who just sign without knowing the issues just to get a couple of thousand dollars, and decided to file lawsuits against them in the US!

 The problem according to those in the know is that family members on the husband's side will not agree to enter any discussions unless the wife gives him millions of dollars. The question is, that now that these rogue rabbanim who signed the heter are getting sued, if the  new legal situation will create pressure on them to withdraw their signatures and join Rabbi Katz to say that the whole heter was a fraud!

The Rabbinate of Israel has already ruled that there can be no talk of money at all, the divorce must be given to the woman without ant strings attached , and the husband must meet all her other demands.

 A group of hundreds of women are demonstrating in front of their husbands' house, and others are now starting protests and exposing the rabbis who signed the heter!
