• She is the head of a Cult like group, an extremist group of conspiracy leaders known as “Mevakshei Shulem aka Mispety HaTorah AKA Shar Hamishpot”. It is supposedly a religious group founded by Mrs. Ester Frima Stern and has a full staff of henchmen, to wit; her husband Yankov Yosef Stern with his son Yoel Stern and Mr. Moshe Lipa Friedrich, Mr. Yakov Yosef Lefkowitz, Rabbi Shea Seidenfeld, Rabbi Ephraim Hersh Shmilovich, Rabbi Avrom Shmiel Gestetner and others. It is referred to as a cult, consisting of about 65 couriers, and about 25 agents in the community carrying out the nefarious deeds, and an additional 435 members. The group follows a fundamentalist form of Jewish practice and adheres to its own atypical interpretations of Jewish law, including practices such as lengthy delaying of divorce sessions, arranged divorce price gouging plans, and head-to-toe blackmail of their own members not to give a Get against Rabbinical rule. The group has faced allegations of kidnapping, extortion, abuse, and child abuse.
