A haredi beit din (religious court), Beit Din Halichot Olam, founded by the late Sefardi haredi leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, has ordered a manager of a haredi girls high school and seminary  to sever contact with the school and its students and move out of Jerusalem, Yeshiva World reported.

Aaron Ramati, the manager of Midrashah Be’er Miriam, which is located on Shaul HaMelech Street in the Sanhedria neighborhood of Jerusalem, was given 30 days clear out of the city.

Ramati has reportedly been the target of very serious allegations in recent years – including orperating the school like a cult.

Two months ago based on witness testimony, the beit din ruled against Ramati, ordering him sever his relationship with the school and to have no contact with the girls from the school in person or on the phone or in writing.

But Ramati ignored the beit din’s ruling and reportedly remains in contact with the girls.

Rabbis Baruch Shraga, Yitzchak Cohen and Shmuel Pinhasi signed the beit din’s order telling Ramati to leave Jerusalem.

A few years ago, leading haredi rabbis from both the Ashkenazi and Sefardi communities – including  Ashkenazi haredi leader Yosef Sholom Elyashiv, Sefardi haredi leader Ovadia Yosef, current Ashkenazi haredi leader Aaron Yehuda Leib Shteinman, Chaim Kanievsky – reportedly signed an very harsh letter against Ramati.

But Charedism is a cult. By their standards, what has he done wrong?

I hope at least some of the girls can leave and go to a real school and learn something apart from aiming to push out 18 neglected children.

I was thinking the same thing: cult? How? Maybe he was teaching something about the real world and they venerated him for that and it's more than the rest of the Haredim could bear?

Hope it wasn't a case of semen at the seminary.
