THE AMERICAN BETH DIN
Rabbi Benyamin Yosef
Av Beit Din
It is with great difficulty that we must report the serious degeneration of the Beth Din of America and
their Jewish Court. They have strayed so far from Torah values for personal and financial gratification as
well as pandering to the Jewish feminist causes, to the point that it threatens the credibility of the Jewish
court system and questions the legitimacy of Rabbinic Orthodox leadership.
In our recent investigation, the Beth Din of America, specifically, Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann and Rabbi
Gedalia Dov Schwartz:
1) Failed to allow father his right as a ‘Nitva’ (Respondent/Defendant) to choose his Beth Din and/or
then denounced his choice of Beth Din as being unacceptable.
2) Issued at least one Bogus Seruv as a way to publicly humiliate father who refused to subject himself
to their arbitration panel, even though a ‘Nitva’ has a right to choose his own Beth Din.
3) Failed to condemn mother who proceeded in Civil Court against direct written orders of the Beth Din
and then supported her even while she continued to litigate in Civil Court.
4) Supports mother even though mother litigated the GET in Civil Court with father on more than one
occasion. The Rama rules that one who brings a case to Civil Court and does not prevail may not later
insist on Beth Din adjudication.
5) Failure of the Beth Din of America to follow established guidelines and procedures along the
parameters that halacha requires.
The corruptive principles that these rabbis are applying, are under the guise of; "We need to free the
Agunot." This is a misguided statement as the Talmud that references the need to help Agunot is
referring to cases where it is virtually impossible for the woman to remarry because her husband is lost
at sea, or at battle etc. However in modern days, this is not the case. Many men wishing to give their
wives Gittin are simply requesting an honest Beth Din that will follow true Torah principles, and even
have deposited a GET at their Beth Din already; yet these corrupted rabbis will proclaim the woman to
be an Agunah because she has not been given the GET outright. It is as if she can litigate him in the
Civil Courts, take all his children, property, monies etc. and yet brazenly demand a GET with no shame
whatsoever. There are halachacally accepted remedies which are being skirted for mere convenience,
feminist pressure and/or financial gain.
There are numerous problems with the Beth Din of America. Most of their Judges are in trouble one way
or another, they cave in to feminist pressure by changing Halacha, and most recently they now will issue
a totally bogus seruv.
Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann, the Menahel of the Beth Din of America was summoned to the American
Beth Din. Three hazmanahs were sent. Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann did not respond in any manner. A
seruv was issued against him in July 2013.
Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz, the Av Beth Din of the Beth Din of America was summoned to the
American Beth Din. Three hazmanahs were sent to him. Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz did not respond
in any manner. A seruv was issued against him in August 2013.
The Bais Din Hagodol Shomrey Mishpot in Brooklyn NY issued a Psak Din against the Beth Din of
America and condemned both Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann and Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz. Our Beth
Din agrees with the Bais Din Hagodol Shomrey Mishpot.
The Bais Din Hagodol Shomrey Mishpot stated that Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann abused his role of
Menahel of the Beth Din of America by outright fabricating and exaggerating facts. Our Beth Din agrees
with the Bais Din Hagodol Shomrey Mishpot.
The Bais Din Hagodol Shomrey Mishpot stated that both Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann and Rabbi Gedalia
Dov Schwartz issued a seruv on May 1, 2013 which is without merit, bogus, and is deemed NULL and
VOID. We agree with the Bais Din Hagodol Shomrey Mishpot.
Our seruv against Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann and Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz includes and declares
that all future decisions of Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann and Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz are to be
considered invalid. The conduct of Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann and Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz violates
Jewish Law, and they are to be treated in the manner specified by Rabbi Moshe Isserless (RAMA) in
Shulchan Aruch Chosen Mishpat 26: 1.
Any Beth Din that is being paid to write a bogus seruv or anything bogus must be publicly condemned.
We also encourage any prior litigants of the Beth Din of America to re-examine their decision(s). If you
need assistance, please contact us at www.americanbethdin.com or a reputable Beth Din.
Here is an example of what happens when a bogus seruv is issued:
In October 2013, numerous Orthodox Jewish men and Orthodox Rabbi’s were arrested in their home in
a Federal Government ‘Sting’ operation directed at both rabbis and others who participated in
conspiracy to kidnap, attempted kidnapping, and torture, designed to force husbands to divorce their
wives, that has been going on for many years. The FBI sting went forth as followed: A female
undercover FBI agent contacted ORA (Organization for the Resolution of Agunot) and asked its
assistance. Believing she was a Jewish Woman in need of a divorce (Agunah) and without any proof,
ORA sent her to The Beth Din of America. She then convinced The Beth Din of America (again without
any shred of proof) that she needed a seruv (contempt) against her fictitious husband living at a
fictitious address in Florida. The Beth Din of America was happy to comply and sent the required three
Hazmanot (summons). Obviously there was no response as there was no real husband.
A totally bogus seruv (contempt) was then issued and signed by Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz. With this
bogus seruv in hand, the female undercover FBI agent then went to Rabbi Mendel Epstein who requested
$70,000 ($10K for the Rabbi and $60K for the thugs) for his kidnapping and torture services. Rabbi Epstein
took the job and the money. The sting worked perfectly. On the night of October 9th, 2013 numerous orthodox
Jewish men and rabbi’s were arrested in a warehouse in Edison, New Jersey who had come there to kidnap,
assault and torture the fictitious husband until he would agree to give his wife a divorce. Many of the below
pleaded guilty and took a deal. A few, at the top of the list pleaded not guilty and went to trial. They were
found guilty.
Here are the names of the people involved:
Rabbi Mendel Epstein / 68 / Lakewood NJ / Found Guilty
Rabbi Jay (Yaakov) Goldstein / 60 / Brooklyn NY / Found Guilty
Rabbi Benyamin Stimler / 38 / Brooklyn NY / Found Guilty
Rabbi Mordechai Wolmark / 56 / Monsey NY / Pleaded Guilty
Mordechai Eichenthal / 54 / Brooklyn NY / Pleaded Guilty
Moshe Goldstein / 31 / Brooklyn NY / Pleaded Guilty
Avrohom Goldstein / 34 / Brooklyn NY / Pleaded Guilty
Simcha Bulmash / 30 / Brooklyn NY / Pleaded Guilty
Ariel Potash / 40 / Monsey NY / Pleaded Guilty
David Hellman / 31 / Brooklyn NY / Pleaded Guilty
Rabbi Sholom Shuchat / 29 / Crown Heights NY / Pleaded Guilty
All these above people will all go to prison due to the incompetency of ORA, The Beth Din of America
and specifically Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz for signing off on a bogus seruv. For a few of the people
on this list due to their age, even a short’ish prison sentence is almost a certain death sentence. Being
an Orthodox Jewish inmate in a maximum security prison is almost a death sentence. Many people in
maximum security prisons are anti-Jewish. There are many Anti-Jewish prison gangs such as: Aryan
Brotherhood, KKK followers, Neo Nazis, White Supremacists, Aryan Nations, Skinheads, White Aryan
Resistance (WAR), National Alliance, Malitia Groups and others, that actually have a higher population
count in prison than out of prison. How long do you think an orthodox Jew with his beard and payot,
wearing his yarmulke and Tzitzit will last in prison? All because of a bogus seruv and greed.
Any Beth Din that purposely violates Halacha for reasons of profit motives or feminist influences should
be dissolved. Placing rules and procedures on your web site is a good thing, but that gives people a
false illusion believing that your Beth Din follows these rules.
I wish to thank the American Beth Din and the Bais Din Hagodol Shomrey Mishpot for getting involved in
this matter.

AMERICAN BETH DIN INVESTIGATION
After a six month long investigation which involved a mailing to everyone on the seruv list from ORA and The
Jewish Press; below are our preliminary findings of fact.
1) The Beth Din of America has issued more Seruvs than any other Beth Din.
2) In our opinion, The Beth Din of America is guided by feminist pressure and money over Halacha.
3) In our opinion, and the opinion of the Bais Din Hagodol Shomrey Mishpot in Brooklyn NY, the Beth Din of
America is involved in issuing BOGUS seruv(s).
4) In our opinion, and the opinion of the Bais Din Hagodol Shomrey Mishpot in Brooklyn NY, Rabbi Shlomo
Weissmann has abused his role of Menahel.
5) The Prenuptial Agreement that the Beth Din of America wants all new couples to sign is blatantly against
Halacha and is contradictory to the Ketuboth. We do not recommend this document to be signed. It has no basis in
Halacha.
6) Both the Av Beth Din (Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz) and the Menahal (Rabbi Shlomo Weissmann) employed
at the Beth Din of America have seruv(s) and/or Psak Din(s) against them.
7) Due to #6 above, all further seruvs or Halachak decisions by either Schwartz or Weissmann are null and void.
8) Due to #6 above, nobody should use the Beth Din of America while either Schwartz and Weissmann are
involved there or risk their decision being mevatel (voided).
9) ORA and The Beth Din of America are connected and ORA appears to be the bully for The Beth Din of
America. A true Beth Din has no need for a bully.
10) The coercion and bullying that ORA is guilty of, will soon create a population of mamzarim (illegitimate
children). The Beth Din of America is an accessory to this action.
We wish to thank everyone who wrote to us and we will respond to every email. If you are involved or are
planning to get involved with The Beth Din of America or ORA we strongly suggest you contact us or a reputable
Beth Din. If you go to the ORA website, you will see most of the Beth Din of America judges giving their
endorsement. As a matter of fact, Rabbi Gedalia Dov Schwartz even wrote a personal letter endorsing ORA and
their work.

Rabbi Benyamin Yosef
Menahel@AmericanBethDin.com
A valid SERUV (rabbinical contempt degree) may be issued only by a reputable and KOSHER rabbinic court, and
only under certain specific circumstances. PASUL SERUVIM (bogus contempts) are being issued and exploited
on a frequent basis to justify the harassment and abuse of various decent Jewish men. An unsuspecting Jewish
public is not aware of the extent of the PASUL SERUV abuses. The Jewish Press and the ORA organization have
publicized a number of PASUL SERUVIM in an attempt to grant legitimacy to public campaigns against certain
Jewish husbands who are allegedly in violation of Jewish law. We have first hand knowledge that the Beth Din of
America is involved with issuing PASUL SERUVIM.
We know that in many cases women being assisted by ORA and the Beth Din of America are utilizing non-Jewish
courts in violation of HALACHA. Many of these women are or have engaged in vicious MESIRAH against their
husbands, one of the most serious AVEIROS in HALACHA, for which a Jew loses their OLAM HABAH. These
women and their supporters seem to figure – Why bother to appear before a BAIS DIN if we can obtain a bogus
SERUV and then scream AGUNAH? Even the prenuptial of the Beth Din of America requires the use of civil
court for enforcement which requires civil court intervention which is MESIRAH.
There is certainly an increasing number of Jewish women attempting to dance at two CHASUNAS at the same
time – by litigating in secular courts to get a better deal against HALACHA and then attempting to utilize BAIS
DIN only to obtain their GET afterwards. This unfortunately has been allowed in too many cases by spineless
BATEI DIN who either due to profit motives or feminist influences take a very benign docile attitude in insisting
that these women immediately withdraw from secular courts, stop the terrible transgression of MESIRAH, and
cease denied parenting time for the father or creating phony orders of protection. If a woman proceeds in civil
court against the orders of Beth Din, she is required to make amends by reimbursing the man for ALL expenses
she caused him.
For quite some time, on the home page of ORA’s web site www.getora.com, it stated that “An agunah is a woman
whose husband refuses to grant her a Jewish divorce upon request.” We believe this statement exposes the anti-
Torah approach of ORA and its rabbis, even if the statement has since been removed from the ORA website. There
is no halachic source which can validate this claim. This also goes to show that the rabbis who give their support to
ORA have no real knowledge of what an Agunah really is.
A woman who forces her husband to give a GET with threats, such as if she has people approach the husband with
threats to his physical person, money or other sensitive areas, such as reputation, may have destroyed her GET,
because a GET must be done willingly. Women who begin divorce proceedings with a threat from their tough
lawyer may have ruined themselves and their generations. The New York State GET Law is a “mamzer” factory.
We must be very careful when dating to inquire where a divorcee got her GET. We must then find out if the
husband gave the GET willingly, or if the woman forced him in court, or pressured him against his will in a
manner unacceptable in Jewish law.
ORA claims to have forced 170 men to divorce their wives. “ORA Is A Gilui Arayos Factory; A Mamzer
Factory.” Anyone who marries a divorcee coming form ORA or The Beth Din of America needs to really
examine if the GET was Kosher. High probability it was not.
What kind of Torah Jew would join with ORA, the mamzer factory, to force a GET? And yet in the Torah
world of today, there are numerous Roshei Yeshivos and Rabbonim who are working together with ORA and
doing questionable things to pressure a husband to give a GET. Can any man expect a fair hearing at a Beth Din
where the rabbis agree with the methodology of ORA?

The Bais Din is a Rabbinical Court that has been the foundation for Jewish law
and rituals throughout history and around the globe.
Procedures and decisions are based on the Torah, Halacha and Talmud assure
correct and fair decisions that involve any issue of dispute in Jewish law and
Bais Din appeal. Just as important to know what Bais Din to go to, it is equally
important to know what Bais Din NOT to go to.
BAIS DIN
