The trend continues, someone locked in a bitter divorce battle runs to the secular media publicizing our ills in hopes of getting what they want from their spouse. What used to be a no no has now become acceptable and the norm. The recipe is simple hire a PR person, open a Facebook page start a social media campaign create a hash-tag and your good to go.
Of course withholding a get is a terrible thing, but do we know both sides of the story? Is the secular media the right place to fight this battle. Cant we keep it in house. The chilul hashem that comes out of all these stories does nobody any good.
There was a high profile divorce case a few months ago that made international headlines. The world media made a mockery of the Torah. Unfortunately that outcome weather attributed to the media campaign or not is now powering others to go with the same tactic.
I thought this article was about Josh Orlian.
ReplyDeleteThat case a few months ago- didn't they put out a letter afterwards from RSK that said that he knows everything they did was al pi daas Torah? You might be swinging up on that one.
ReplyDeleteNever saw such a letter.
DeleteThen you obviously weren't following the story
DeleteRav shmuel K never approved of going to the NY post. Rav Yisrael neuman of BMG made a machaah about going to the NY Post and secular media.
DeletePray tell, where did this alleged machaa take place? Because it did not. Stop making things up. You saw R Shmuels letter, you know what it said.
DeleteThe machaah took place in Lakewood yeshiva. Dont deny what took place.
DeleteI deny that it ever happened. If you want others to believe you, cite some specifics. What BM did he make this Machaa in? What was the gist of what he said? Is there anyone with a name that can verify it?
DeleteOf course not. Because it is not true.
You can deny as much as you want. ask rav Yisrael aboout it. very simple. Im sorry you still didnt get over the get.
