In an act of appalling theodicy, Rabbi Avraham Schorr, a controversial Flatbush haredi rabbi associated with several bans, allegedly blamed last week's gruesome terror attack on a haredi synagogue in Har Nof, Jerusalem on the behavior of an allegedly corrupt American beit din.
Four of the rabbi-judges in the decade-long Bobov hasidic sect's succession fight allegedly took bribes to rule for the winning faction, known as Bobov 48.
Schorr allegedly noted that the day the Bobov beit din ruling went into effect was the day of the gruesome terror attack in the haredi synagogue in Har Nof, Jerusalem.
Seeing the two events as therefore being linked, Schorr allegedly noted that four rabbi-judges signed the beit din's ruling and one rabbi-judge refused to sign it. The four haredi rabbis murdered in that terror attack were killed because of the four rabbi-judges who signed the beir din ruling.
