London Beth Din names and shames husband for refusing wife a get

The London Beth Din has called on synagogues in London and Paris to deny entry to a man until he gives his wife a get.

In a notice written in Hebrew, English and French, dayanim said that it was “unconscionable” for Yossi Elkouby to continue to leave his wife Rifka Meyer an agunah, a chained woman.

The couple have been separated for nearly four years, according to the rabbis.

The London Beth Din urged synagogues to bar Mr Elkouby and for the community “to consider the appropriateness of any social or economic interactions with him” until he complied with its instructions to appear before the rabbinic court and to issue a get.
