If he felt that the heter was illegitimate (like everyone else does), he would not say that the Rov issuing thr illegitimate heter is a bar samcha.
R' Notta who has said that he didn't investigate the case because he relied on a Gadol (Kaminetsky).
R Shmuel Kaminetsky issued a vague letter that he did not sign the annulment because he can't deny involvement because his son R Shalom Kaminetsky was the one that shopped around the annulment saying that his father approved of it. As seen from this letter from R Moshe Sternbuch (http://daattorah.blogspot.com/2015/11/rav-moshe-sternbuch-explains-by-tamar.html) where he writes "Last week we protested the heter that was given from one of the American poskim to permit a married woman to marry without obtaining a Get from her first husband. One of the greatest rosh yeshivos in America voiced his opinion that it was possible to rely on the rabbi who gave the heter to remarry. (I have clear evidence in my possession for this). This a a terrible stumbling block and breach in normative halacha." The clear evidence is the letter that was sent to R Sternbuch as well as to other poskim asking them to sign onto the Heter which no one did R' Notta who has said that he didn't investigate the case because he relied on a Gadol (Kaminetsky).
I find that very hard to believe
This is almost over...Turns out that there was never any heter anyway.
Voss maint doss?He wasnt מסדר קידושין for her?
So what happens to her now?
He definitely was mesader kidushinThis is a fiasco of massive proportions.
Are you sure? He says he doesn't know her!
He means doesn't know her enough to manufacture any heter. But he agrees that he relied on facts presented by R sholom for a theoretical case.How he then went and was mesader kidushin is so far unexplained.
Now I'm thoroughly confused.Did R' Shalom trick R' Nota into doing the kiddushin? He wanted a bigger/second name so he didn't do it himself and had R' Nota do it?
It's possible that R Shalom tricked R Notta twice. Once by falsely presenting the case as one where the husband had a mental sickness which is only based on a report written by a psychologist who never met the husband and used R Notta's name as the Matir. The second time might have been when the couple went to R Notta to be masder (with R Notta not knowing that this was the woman in R Shalom's theoretical case) and R Notta asked the couple who is your Rabbi and she said R Shalom and R Shalom than vouched to R Notta that she is in fact ok to be married.
Do you understand that you are talking about very big rabbis here? Not second graders playing a trick on their teacher....so if you keep on talking about your conspiracy theories I would love to know yours on the JFK assassination as well.
