Description Right now, a Jewish man is sitting in Rikers Island – not for drugs, not for murder – but because of a Get and a “Shtar Berurin” he once signed in Bais Din. Another man, a seasoned attorney, stood before a New York judge and was told: “Give a Get tonight or go to jail tomorrow.” And in Israel, a Jew sat around ten years in prison, beaten and humiliated, sometimes in isolation with Hamas terrorists, over what they called a “Get.” In this video, you will hear their voices and see how one “Beis Din arbitration agreement” can become a weapon to break a man and corrupt the very idea of a kosher Get. What’s in this video: • Yitzchok Rubinov – calling from Rikers Island, jailed after a Queens judge enforced a Beis Din arbitration he signed years ago. • Moshe Eisenberg – a constitutional scholar threatened by a judge: “Give a Get or go to jail,” after signing a “Hebrew arbitration” under pressure. • Rabbi Friedrich (To’en) – explaining how Batei Din flip “recommendations” into mandatory orders, then run to civil court on “contempt of arbitration” to push jail. • Moshe in Israel – describing about 10 brutal years in prison over a Get, isolation, beatings, no siddur, no tefillin, and how a “Get” was written without his real consent. The common pattern: • In America, Batei Din borrow secular power through arbitration contracts; judges then use them to threaten or impose jail. • In Israel, the Rabbanut has built‑in state power to jail and torture men over Get issues. • In both systems, the Get turns from mitzvah into weapon – and it almost always starts with: “Just sign this Shtar Berurin. If you don’t, we’ll put a seruv on you.” I am here to warn you: Do not blindly sign Beis Din arbitration agreements you don’t understand and don’t trust. 🔗 Protective arbitration document (“bullet‑proof” template) If you are being pressured to sign something before Beis Din, do not sign their standard form. Consider using a protective agreement that forces the dayanim to justify any psak according to halacha and blocks them from abusing secular courts: 👉 Protective arbitration template (Google Drive PDF): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PR3e... 🔗 Bris Shalom – Pre‑Engagement Agreement to Prevent Get Wars Most of these nightmares could be reduced before engagement. My Bris Shalom Agreement is a pre‑engagement covenant for couples who are seriously dating. It: • Sets clear expectations about money (joint vs. separate assets, no alimony). • Treats children as shared, not weapons. • Affirms that a Get must be given and accepted without coercion. • Encourages resolving disputes privately instead of endless Beis Din/civil court wars. 👉 Bris Shalom pre‑engagement agreement (Google Drive PDF): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k4yh... 📩 For questions or to request a copy leave a comment. ⚠️ Important disclaimer Nothing in this video is legal advice. I am not your lawyer. I am sharing personal stories, interviews, and my own opinions about halacha and civil law. If you are in a court or Beis Din situation, speak to a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction and to a competent Rav who is not part of the pressure machine. ✅ How you can help • Share this video with anyone in shidduchim – your children, your friends, your talmidim and talmidos. • Share it with rabbanim and dayanim who may not realize what is being done in their name. • Comment (without lashon hara details) if you’ve seen similar pressure so others can learn. • Subscribe to the channel and hit the bell so you don’t miss future videos on Get, Beis Din, and how to protect yourself from abuse of religious process. Enough men have sat in Rikers. Enough men have heard “Give a Get or go to jail.” Enough Jews have been beaten in Israeli jails over a Get. We cannot wait for more korbanos. We must change how we sign, how we marry, and how we use Beis Din.
