To #3: Is this “massive talmid chacham, lamdan, yarei shomayim and mentch” aware of the massive anguish he has caused Emanuel residents? Not just to the Chassidim. There are those outside the Chassidic community that say that is the Chassidim cannot stay here, if there is no suitable education, they must move too. This could devastate Emanuel, r”l.

This court case has been devastating to so many people. There are pregnant women coping alone now without their jailed husbands – 13 of them Sephardic – and who themselves have the threat of jail hanging over their heads.

The above mentioned Rabbi should do more than withdraw. He should apologize personally to the hurt families. He should do his utmost to support the families and stop the involvement of secular courts in religious education.

He can BUILD up Sephardic institutions instead of TEARING DOWN Chassidic ones.

He should tirelessly work undo the enormous anguish this has led to. He must see the pain he has cause. He must.

This makes it sound like something good was done! Even Chacham Ovadia said he who brings a case to court “Ein Lo Chelek Liolum Habuh”!
