The Absolute
Falsity of the Excommunication Order
Rabbi Fuerst Excommunicated Aaron Thomas for
(1) Refusing to Appear in his Beit Din and (2) Blasphemously Suing the Shabats.
Both of these are absolutely false. The evidence irrefutably shows that
(1) Aaron Thomas at all times expressed his willingness to come to
Rabbi Fuerst's Beit Din and that (2) Aaron Thomas was suing in civil
court with the express permission of the C.R.C.
(1) Aaron Thomas at All Times Cooperated with Rabbi Fuerst's Summonses
As summoned to do, Aaron Thomas contacted Rabbi Fuerst and
explicitly expressed his willingness to come before Rabbi Fuerst's Beit
Din for Din Torah. Each time Rabbi Fuerst failed to convene a Beit Din.
As detailed in "My
Cooperation With Rabbi Fuerst."
(2) Aaron Thomas had
C.R.C. Beit Din Permission to Sue in Civil Court As detailed
in "C.R.C.
Permission for Civil Suit", and in
"Evidence From the
C.R.C.", in September 1998 Aaron Thomas received permission to file
his claim in civil court (for Statute of Limitations considerations)
while simultaneously trying to arrange a Din Torah. Aaron Thomas did
nothing to press his civil case, and the Shabats could have easily
allowed the case to lay dormant, pending Beit Din adjudication. However,
the Shabats attacked Thomas' claim with constant Motions to Dismiss,
forcing Thomas to defend his complaint against extinquishment. This
generated large legal expenses for the Shabats and huge hardship for
Aaron Thomas. From September 1998, the Shabats found various
excuses not to come to Din Torah. Finally, in January 2000, the Shabats
answered unequivocally that they would only come to Beit Din in Monsey.
When Rabbi Fuerst became involved in February 2000, Aaron Thomas
communicated all this to him orally and in writing. The C.R.C.
Beit Din acknowkedged to Rabbi Fuerst in writing that it had given Aaron
Thomas permission to file suit in civil court to prevent the extinguisment
of his civil claim by the Statute of Limitations.
