Where is the cesav of r Shmuel that he referenced?

Eta, he probably means the letter saying that will follow the pesak of R DF.

This is what a war on all fronts does. He was exposed and shamed.

The letter is from R Shalom Kamenetzke.
It states that as his father has already written, they accept the pesak of R D Feinsteins beis din that the "Bitul Kidushing has no validity at all"

And that he has conveyed this message to the related parties and hopes they will listen.

Any word as to why R Dovid Feinstein said that the Bitel Kidushin had no validity? Has R' Greenblatt withdrawn his pasak or is he going to stand alone? Was there a procedural error or as was being claimed all along that the entire "Bitul" was based on sheker? This letter from R Shalom Kaminetsky just leaves more unanswered questions about what his role as well as his fathers role in this mess. It seems admitting a mistake and apologizing is only for the common folk.

Is it really dead? Rumor has it that she has no intention of separating. She didn't move to some unknown community. She stayed right there in Philadelphia, yet she feels no pressure as being viewed as a person continuously committing adultery, in public. How sincere was R. Shalom Kaminetzky's letter? Was it equal to ? Which was preceeded by ?

And while you're at it tell us which other username you use on this site. I can't believe the amount of people who create usernames just for JS.

These are the last two paragraphs.

ולכן כדאי ונכון להתיר העלובה הזאת..... מותרת היא להנשא מטעם דין קידושי טעות

כל זה נכתב על ידי שלו' קמינצקי, והראתי את הדברים לאאמו''ר ...שליטא, ואישר אותי לחתום על הדברים, שאכן, כנים הם

"It is therefore worthwhile and proper to be matir this woman.... she is free to marry due to the din of kidushei tous.

"All this was written by [Rabbi] Sholom Kaminetzky, and I showed this to my father, and he permitted me to sign on this [heter], that indeed, they are true."

Rabbi Greenblaat rubber stamped this heter. He completely relied upon Rav Shalom Kaminetzky

You'll just have ti figure that one out yourself, or remain unaware.  :P

Why would it make a difference? If what I wrote is wrong, then please refute it. Just explain yourself. If what I wrote does have merit, then why would it matter what other username I have?

Maybe because there are some militant modernah feminists on here, who attack people who oppose woman's right to whatever..
