Israel harbours mother on Interpol wanted list and orders US rabbis to spit on disobedient father’s face

On Tuesday 13 September seven Israeli Supreme Court judges will hear a petition from Sharon Ben-Haim, a father from New Jersey, USA, against the Rabbinical Court of Haifa and Rabbi Daniel Edri, also of Haifa, challenging their decision to send instructions to the rabbis and synagogues of New Jersey not to bury him in a Jewish cemetery in the event of his death, to excommunicate him, to prevent him from praying in American synagogues and, if they see him, to spit in his face.

The judges of the Haifa Beth Din, or rabbinical court, claim that these extra-territorial sanctions, to be enforced in the USA, are necessary to help Mr Ben-Haim’s wife, Oshrat Abergel (pictured above), and that Mr Ben-Haim is a recalcitrant divorce denier.

Mr Ben-Haim claims that his wife is a child kidnapper who abducted his US-born daughter, Ofir, from New Jersey to Israel, knowing that Israel is a haven for female kidnappers and that the Israeli Supreme Court assisted her in kidnapping his child.

Mrs Ben-Haim had asked him to travel with Ofir for a family visit to Israel, but as soon as he arrived he received a demand for divorce in the rabbinical court, and child support and custody complaints in the family court.

An immediate order of No Exit was placed on Mr Ben-Haim, preventing him from returning home to New Jersey. After being arrested several times on the instruction of the rabbinical court judges for refusing to give a divorce, Mr Ben-Haim agreed to negotiate a deal for his release but his wife reneged on it at the last minute to keep him longer in jail.

Eventually, the case appeared before judge Edna Arbel who said that notwithstanding the child abduction and the extortion of a deal while Mr Ben-Haim was incarcerated, his mere “willingness” to negotiate a settlement constituted consent to the abduction, and the case was dismissed.

In the meantime, upon the expiry of the No Exit order, Mr Ben-Haim left Israel and returned home to the US, where in his absence his business had completely collapsed

Once Mrs Ben-Haim was allowed by judge Arbel to stay in Israel with the daughter, she resumed her custody and child support cases, asked for her share in the New Jersey business (even though she told all the courts that she was merely a tourist in the USA) and, of course, she wanted a divorce. Mr Ben-Haim told her that she must go to New Jersey to get the divorce but she refused.

Meanwhile, when a New Jersey judge, Bonnie Mizdol, learned about Mr Ben-Haim’s ordeal in Israel, she ruled that henceforth no order of any kind issued by the religious courts of Israel must be enforced. She described Israeli judge Arbel’s judgment as ludicrous and “defying common sense”. According to all known legal principles, a willingness to settle a case does not amount to a waiver of rights, let alone a consent to abduction.

Matters escalated and in 2011 Mr Ben-Haim sued the Israeli judges, including Edna Arbel, for crimes against humanity and gender apartheid. He also sued the then Israeli minister of justice, Yaakov Neeman, for gender apartheid.

Back in Israel, Rabbi Daniel Edri dispatched, at taxpayer expense, Rabbi Gamliel to New Jersey where handed Mr Ben-Haim a summons for harassment and incitement to murder. However, sensing that in contrast to other Israeli men, Mr Ben-Haim was no wimp, Rabbi Gamliel convened a panel of three religious judges who instructed New Jersey rabbis not to bury Mr Ben-Haim in a Jewish cemetary and to excommunicate him.

In 2014 Rabbi Gamliel wrote a report to Rabbi Eyliahu Maimon, the head of the Israeli Rabbinical Court’s Agunot, or chained women, Branch. These religious bounty hunters despatch people such as Gamliel to hunt down men and force them to grant a Jewish divorce. They have had some success in persuading foreign religious courts to extradite men, even from the USA.

Mr Ben-Haim has a strong case against the state of Israel. However, although his wife is on Interpol’s wanted list, she is protected by the state of Israel, which disregards all international laws.
