Yoel Weiss refuses to give his wife, Rivky Stein, a Jewish divorce known as a "get." Without a get, Stein cannot remarry, and any children she may have with someone other than Weiss would be ruled mamzerim (bastards), and they and their descendants would be prevented from marrying regular Jews forever. Weiss allegedly hired a ringer to pose as one of the beit din (religious court) judges , threatened at least one other rabbinic judge and stalked him.
I've known about this affidavit for more than a week and communicated with Rabbi Farkas, but just got a copy of the affidavit today. It was supposed to filed with the court yesterday in a hearing, but I haven't yet seen a copy that is marked as such.
