The Ikul

Beis din ikul (restraining order) on the Lakewood house sale

Translation:

Mrs. Manya Ort from Lakewood was already summoned many times to come to Beis Din concerning the disagreement between her and her former husband HaRav Reb Avraham Ort. She has refused to come before our Beis Din or any other Beis Din and instead has gone to a secular court. This is against the halacha and was done without permission from any Beis Din. She is still persisting with her refusal.

We have heard that there is reason to believe that she is trying to sell their previous house at the address 1015 Forest Ave., Lakewood NJ. Determining the ownership of this property is dependent on this controversy and its sale could cause an irreplaceable loss.

Therefore, we are issuing an injunction from Beis Din to forbid her to sell this property and to make known to anyone involved with this sale, that’s it’s forbidden according to halacha to help with the sale of this property. It is also forbidden to buy from her or from her representative until the two parties come before a Beis Din that they choose and a ruling according to halacha is issued.

To this we have affixed our signature on 2 Menachem Av 5768, Rav Moshe Heinemann Rav Yakov Hopfer Rav Mordechai Shuchatowitz
