ATTENTION ALL FRUM JEWS: A wedding took place Sunday January 11, 2004, in Flatbush, Brooklyn, where a man, Dov Charnowitz living at east 27th street and ave J, Took a SECOND WIFE, WHILE STILL MARRIED TO HIS FIRST WIFE, Hadasah Charnowitz. Close to 100 people were in attendance. Mr. Charnowitz is still Halachically and civilly married to his first wife. HE REFUSES TO GIVE HIS WIFE A GET, even though she agreed to all of his demands. (these included completely giving up her rights to practically everything) He is being helped by Rabbi Shlomo Blumenkrantz of east 4th street in Flatbush. Rabbi Blumenkrantz gave him a HETER to marry a second wife, WITHOUT giving a GET to his wife, who is begging for a GET. Rabbi Zusha Blech of Monsey, New York is a supporter of Dov Charnowitz and he too attended and participated in the wedding ceremony. Dov Charnowitz is "frum" married now to another "frum" woman, married by a "frum" rabbi, and employed by a "frum" company, Semels Foods (AKA Quality Frozen Foods). Contact them at : Quality Frozen Foods 1663 62nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204 (718) 236-4949 (718) 256-9100 This is clearly against Halacha and should be protested vehemently by all G-d fearing Jews. His new wife, Juby Shapiro heads an organization called Tafkid. Contact Tafkid at: Tafkid 1433 Coney Island Ave Brooklyn, NY 11230 Phone: (718) 252) 2236 Fax: (718) 252-2216
