Succos is Coming - WARNING: Sam Rosenbloom Refuses To Give His Wife A Get

PLEASE FORWARD

Greetings!
As you know, either a man or woman refusing to give or accept a get (Jewish divorce) to allow a marriage to fully dissolve thereby holding the spouse hostage, is entirely unacceptable and intolerable.

Our community takes this issue very seriously and has made great efforts to help resolve conflicts from recalcitrant spouses both in the past and unfortunately in the present. I ask you therefore, to please respect the announcement below from the OU and to not purchase from succah.com or have any connection with its proprietor, Sam Rosenbloom.
Sincerely,

Rabbi Efrem Goldberg, Senior Rabbi
Boca Raton Synagogue

Seruv Against Sam Rosenbloom (A Seruv is a declaration that a person is in contempt of a beit din a Jewish Court of Law)
August 09, 2007

The owner of the website described below, www.succah.com, is in violation of Jewish law, in that he has not given his wife a get, a Jewish divorce decree. He has failed to comply with an order issued by the Baltimore Bet Din (Jewish court). Until he gives his wife a get, she is not permitted to remarry under Jewish law.

Sam Rosenbloom has a seruv issued against him by the Baltimore Bet Din. A copy of the seruv can be viewed at www.getora.com/seiruvim.htm

Mr. Rosenbloom owns and operates an on-line sukkah business at http://www.succah.com . We strongly recommend that no Jewish person buy from his website, that no synagogue grant him an aliyah or other religious honor or benefit, and that no Jewish family invite Mr. Rosenbloom into their home or otherwise provide him with Yom Tov or Shabbat hospitality.
