Rav Avrahom "Heter Meah" Katz Tried Pulling one over the Zionist Rabbis but they have his number!

Many wonder why Rabbi Katz suddenly tried sneaking out when he had been here in Israel for months without trying to get back??

This week, something happened from which he suddenly realized that he no longer had any chance of returning to the United States without the agunah getting her get!

He had heated discussions with his "toein" and they concocted the following plan

 Rav Katz wrote a letter to the new wife of the Get refuser (Markowitz) and explained in the letter that she was forbidden to her husband because the "Heter Meah Rabbanim" was flawed!

 He took this letter and went to the Chief Rabbinate and claimed that in this new situation, there was no longer any reason to keep him in Israel, he was no longer part of this whole matter! He was out since the "entire Heter is no longer valid! 

Finished?

Nope! Not finished at all! 

The rabbis in the Chief Rabbinate are just as frum and shrewd as he is and the good Rabbi Katz of Monsey must have thought that they were a bunch of naive "Zionists" who were born yesterday and do not know that Charedi rabbis are full of it, who say this today and tomorrow something entirely different, all in the name of the RBS"O! 

Rabbi Katz's plan was that as soon as the "tzav eikel" the order to stop him from leaving the country was lifted he would  return to Monsey and write a new letter stating that she is allowed to her husband and that everything he wrote was just to free himself from the shackles of the Zionists, and that the "Heter Meah Rabbanim" was intact!

The court gave the Agunah 30 days to respond to his letter and request, and here everything exploded!

Katz thought that the Rabbinate would hold a hearing within a few days, would hear the arguments and decide.

But it turned out that the Zionist Rabbis did not trust him and couldn't believe one word uttered from his "holy" mouth! 

The Zionist Rosh Bais Din sent Katz a message that here in Israel there are no games and they are privy to his "shmatchshticks" and told him that they need to wait 30 days for the woman's reply and then they schedule a hearing which can take another month or so, only that is only after the letter arrives, and then the hearing can last a few months!  They added that the hearings will continue until there is a divorce in the woman's hand and until then he is welcome to live in the Land that the RBS"O gifted to Avraham's children and like Yitzchok Aveenu, he won't be able to leave!

Rabbi Avraham Katz of Tosh Monsey consulted with "experts" in smuggling people in and out of the country and they gave him the advice that he subsequently tried. It was actually a great plan until it didn't work! 

What's the genius plan??
You buy 2 tickets, and when you get to the airport the one who has no problems with the law puts down his passport at the automatic checkout that takes the photo at the exit gate, the photo goes thru a quick scanning and compares that with the photo of the person that came into the country the gate then automatically opens up once it is  approved . At that point as the gate opens up the Rabbi and the guy that has no problems push themselves in together and bingo they are both  out!

But this method is very risky, they learned that in some other similar cases when they were caught, both suffered, both the guy who was allowed to leave and the guy who had a restraining order.

 So they came up with another great plan that they thought would have less risk!

They bought three tickets, one put down his passport and took the picture and when the gate opened R' Katz went through instead of the guy in the photo! 

Then the third put down his passport and took his picture, the doorway opened and the two who had no restraining order pushed together and passed.

 But we all are all familiar with the gemaarah 

אין מזל לישראל

Which the great Tzaddik and Talmud Chacham completely forgot

and as they "taakeh" had no "mazal"   .......they got caught!

The cops that watch all this on a video were suspicious, they were wondering in the back office why two guys who had no restraining orders would want to push out together? They must have been smuggling someone out!

 They immediately did a search in the computers and found that one of the guys that pushed out was a Katz! They knew that they had a restraining order on a Katz , and after investigating they found out that he was actually the son of Rabbi Katz, it was then the entire scheme collapsed! 

 They then saw Rabbi Katz getting on a plane, arrested him and turned him over to the local police and they brought him to the offices of the Chief Rabbinate, where he was subsequently arrested.

Chareidim went on a rampage, and caused riots in front of the Rabbinate

The Rabbanute are not like the leftist police that would let him loose they set bail at 150,000 shekel hakoidish! 

The Chareidim  continued to riot thinking they are dealing with the local police but the Zionist Rabbis were not intimidated by the riots and told the holy tazaddik that if the riots continued for another minute they would raise the bail to 200,000 shekels hakoidish! And if they still continued they would raise it to even more. 

The rioters suddenly feared they wouldn't find so much money, so they stopped rioting and meekly brought 150,000 shekels to court and the holy tzaddik of Tosh was released under restrictive conditions, meaning he would have to report to the police every day until they are satisfied that he won't attempt to run!

Katz has now become entangled with another criminal problem the fact that he tried leaving the country under a restraining order and this will now keep him in the country for an extended time which he didn't expect.

It seems that the issue of the divorce will not be dismissed so quickly, and some now say that he will now try to do everything in his power to get the get refuser to grant a divorce immediately to the woman, so he could get out of there!

But After last week's speech by the Aharonites in Monsey, it does not seem that the Get Refuser  will grant a divorce, and the matter is getting more complicated

It should be noted that this entire issue has been going on for several years now and the issue has been stormy and burning. Rabbis from all circles have entered the matter, both sides have rabbis who support their position, this has made the matter more difficult.

 In the past two months only the Aharonim side has dealt with the matter, they are with the agunah and they hoped that finally there would be a get, until last Sunday they were convinced that they had obtained the desired get.

 According to developments over the past week, there is a serious concern that Rabbi Katz will be forced to stay in Israel for many years, he will have to move his family to Israel and settle there, Unless something drastically happens that changes the current situation. 

The husband has now disappeared! He has sent a message that he wants $ millions!

Good Luck! When you feed a lion you're liable to get bitten, ask Noach!
