On March 21, 2026, Living Lchaim platformed a panel on “divorced” Jewish men.
One of the speakers introduced himself as “Imrei.”
He is not divorced.
According to publicly available information and community reporting, this individual is Raphi Stein, who is currently refusing to grant a Gett to his wife, Adeena Kohn.
A Seruv issued in 2023 by the Beis Din of America reflects that he allegedly ignored multiple summonses and formal warnings.
Let’s be precise:
This is not a private marital dispute.
This is an ongoing case of Gett refusal, with documented Beis Din involvement.
⸻
Additional allegations from those familiar with the case include:
• Ongoing access to the children while the Gett is withheld
• Prolonged litigation that allegedly preserves leverage through the Gett
• Reported outstanding child support obligations
• Employment structured in a way that may limit formal financial traceability
It has also been reported that a full settlement was offered in exchange for the Gett — and refused.
⸻
After public pressure, Living Lchaim removed the episode.
But removing a video after amplification is not accountability - it is damage control.
The real issue remains:
A platform was given to a man allegedly engaging in Gett refusal -
without disclosure, without challenge, and without responsibility to the woman still waiting to be released.
⸻
Pesach is days away.
We speak about liberation.
We tell ourselves we are no longer enslaved.
And yet, in our own community, a woman is still being held in a state of halachic captivity.
⸻
We are organizing coordinated action.
Funds will go toward:
• Protest execution + security
• Strategic media amplification
• Printed materials and rapid dissemination
• Coordinated pressure campaigns
• Engagement of professional mediators
• Targeted outreach to individuals and institutions enabling the status quo
• Legal and halachic pressure through both court and Beis Din channels
⸻
When the Gett is given, remaining funds will go directly to Adeena Kohn and her children, or refunded upon request.
⸻
Let’s stop pretending this is too complicated to act on.
Silence protects the status quo.
Platforms create legitimacy.
And pressure creates outcomes.
