The lying rat says in the video that the Rabbanute never contacted his family and that he never agreed to "any conditions."
He says that there is a "Get waiting in Monsey Bais Din for 10 years" ...
without explaining that the Get is tied to a $350,000.00 Ransom....
Both the Ashkenazic and Sephardic Rabbinates in Israel issued letters some years ago that they will not recognize or accept any actions by this Bais Din .
That includes marriages, gittin, and geirus. There are plenty of other letters that similarly proclaim anything done by this BD as not reliable, one noted beis din even refers to it as a joke.
One of the leading Raabis of this Bais Din, Tzvi Dov Abraham of Monsey resides in a cemetery today. He died several years ago.
Sadly, there are many agunos who actually had gittin deposited in his BD, which he then held for ransom, including money, and the women had to agree to give up children and forfeit child support.

Meir "the rat" also doesn't tell you that he remarried 5 years ago ...
He also doesn't mention that it was a Bais Din in New York that asked the Rabbanute to enforce its decision of "Not burying the Yenta Kin" because of his refusal to divorce his wife ....
Rabbi Lau with the blessing of Rav Yaakov Kanievski held up the burial ... until a deal, which he denies was made, was struck ...
He sanctimoniously talks about the "Yerushalyim Minhag" of not allowing a dead body to be left overnight .....but doesn't talk about torturing his wife who is alive, for 16 years!!!!!
He mentions that Rabbi Lau is a relative of his wife ...
but doesn't mention that Rabbi Lau was following the
NEW YORK BAIS DIN PSAK!!!
He contradicts himself by saying that Lonna is his "wife" and then saying there is a get!
Rabbi Lau's office reacted to the video by issuing a denial, saying the deceased's family members appealed to the Great Beit Din to allow the deceased's burial after the Chief Dayan upheld the decision of a United States Beit Din to prevent burial until a promise to divorce was forthcoming:
"After the family members signed a prepared document before the Great Beit Din, stating that they would take on the responsibility of complying with the court's instructions - that the refuser would grant the divorce, and after approving the $20,000 bond, the Beit Din approved the burial.
"We regret that the refuser continues his crooked conduct and is now attacking the Beit Din."
The Chief Rabbi's office continued:
"The Chief Dayan of the Great Beit Din will continue his uncompromising war on the phenomenon of divorce refusal and will do everything in his power, including the most severe sanctions, to end any case of get-refusal that may develop."
