Psak Din by the Badatz of Yerushalayim
i'1/i1~V
'"C~
To the Esteemed Rav,
We the undersigned rabbinical tribunal are directing to you,
regarding a profane incident that is currently occurring at your
location which is in regard to the wife ofReb Avrohom Rubin,
Mrs. Miriam Chaya [Rubin - Mund*]
who went to live with another
man [namely]
[Mr. Hirsh Chinn of Silver Spring,
Maryland,
son of Rabbi Irving Chinn, of Mckeesport, Pennsylvania]
on the basis of a Get Meusah, [a Halachicly invalid Get}.
We have already publicized our Daas Torah
opinion, that the Get is invalid and she
[Chaya Rubin-Mund] retains the status of an
Aishes Ish [married to her husband Reb Avrohom
Rubin) for all purposes. In the event she
Chas Vesholom bears children from him
[Mr. Hirsh Chinn], those children would be
Mamzeirim [bastards] ...
May Hashem guide us that his Holy Name be sanctified through
us, and may we merit the Geulah V'yeshua of Klal Yisroel
speedily in our time. Amen.
We affix our signatures, the Bais Din ofYerushalayim i'"l"1'V

Behold, a [false] rumor has come out on ) I Cheshvan 5757 [October 24, '96] that Mrs. Miriam Chaya Rubin daughter of
Shlomo Leib Mund [formerly) of Montreal, had received a Get from her husband Avraharn Rubin. Let this be an
acknowledgment that in accordance with a substantiated report including clear evidence the above mentioned woman
retains the status of an Aishes Ish [a married woman).

[Rosh Yeshivas Shaarei Yosher]
Since accomplices of transgressors have committed prohibited acts and a [false] rumor has come out on 11 Cheshvan .
5757 [October 24, '96] that Mrs. Miriam Chaya Rubin daughter of Shlomo Leib Mund [formerly] of Montreal had
received a Get from her husband Reb Avraham Rubin, let this be an acknowledgment that in accordance with thoroughly
investigated evidence the above mentioned woman remains the wife of her husband Avraham Rubin, and thus retains the
status of an A ishes lsh..

Shmuel Zev Lichter
Rav of Krasna
I am fully aware regarding the above mentioned forced Get incident ... I join with the other Rabbonim that the Get is
invalid under all circumstances.
24 Cheshvan 5757 [Nov 6, '96] -Menashe Klein, Grand Rabbi ofUngvar
In regards to the letter that has been publicized, dated 12 Elul 556 [August 27, '96], in the matter ofReb Avraham Rubin
and his wife Miriam Chaya nee Mund, and that it was related in my name that) permitted to coerce over a Get; I herewith
make it known that I never permitted such, and it is of particular note that I have heard and seen letters of the Great
Rabbinical authorities, that void the Get ...

L'kovod M.oreinu V'rabeinu ... Harav Hagaon Reb YosefSholom Eliashiv Shlita,
Regarding the Gel received by Chaya Rubin nee Mund of Montreal from her husband Avraharn Rubin of Brooklyn by
force. I was a participant on this beth din jointly with Rabbi Israel Belsky, Aryeh Ralbag,... Subsequently I resigned
from the beth din ... being convinced that there is no Halachic basis to exercise force, and the Gel which was arranged by
force is a coerced Gel and Mrs. Chaya Rubin is forbidden to remarry ... To my great astonishment, I received by mail a
Psakwritten by Ralbag, and was requested to sign it permitting coercion [of the husband). I earnestly studied Ralbag's
Psak and found it worthless ... III summary, the decision ofRalbag has no basis and may not be relied upon ... The woman
may not remarry.
Regarding the response sent by Rabbi Belsky in defense of the decision to compel [a Gel], 1 was shocked to read this
response which contains altered facts, false testimony, and expressions of his personal imagination. The truth must be
reported that Rabbi Belsky forged all the facts and testimony ... Rabbi Belsky's imagination lead him to fabricate a
decision on matters that never occurred ... need I go on?
I have fixed my signature in Honor of the Torah with respect and admiration.

[Former Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Chaim Berlin]
2 Vayishlach 5765 [November 22, '04]
Regarding Rabbi Rubin and his wife Mrs. Mund, this is a painful situation; however, the Torah can not be abandoned and
it is certain that Mrs. Chaya Rubin is an Aishes Ish [a married woman) without any doubt, until she receives a Get from
her husband Rabbi Rubin in accordance with Torah law. Mellas/le Klein, Grand Rabbi of Ungvar
Behold! In the matter between Rabbi Avraham Rubin and his wife Miriam Chaya (Mund), she presently retains her full
status as the wife of her husband Rabbi Avraham Rubin mentioned above. 1 wish to establish herein that all that has been
done by R Mordechai Gimpel Wohnark. .. on this subject and the matter of subsequent issuance of hazmanas are all acts
offoolishness, and acts of trickery, forgery, and untruths.
I have fixed my signature 9 Kislev 5765 [November 22, '04] in Honor of the Torah.
