ATARA MICHAL KREINDLER: No Get, Remarried, and a Mamzer on the Way
Another foolish young woman has made a mockery of halacha, and threatens to lead other gullible woman astray!
Atara Michal Simkowitz married Simcha Moshe Kreindler in 2011. Their troubled marriage first began to unravel some time later, finally breaking down irretrievably in 2015. Simcha Moshe was summoned to Bais Din Agudas HaRabbonim of the United States and Canada. He refused to appear, based upon the instruction of his mentor Berel Futerfas of Crown Heights, since his rights were being trampled upon. A seruv was subsequently issued against him from the besdin. See more details about this tragedy here.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Atara Kreindler went to the disreputable International Beit Din of Simcha Hacohen Krauss, Yehuda Warburg and Ariel Holland. They invented a heter for Atara to receive an annulment based upon a faulty three-pronged reasoning, and based upon the testimony of Atara alone: that Simcha Moshe never consummated the marriage; that he suffers from some mysterious mental illness; and the 'fact' that Atara's mother, a convert, didn't really keep Shabbos after the conversion. These three charlatans then suggested she find a rabbi who will agree to let her use this reasoning as a 'bargaining chip' to convince her husband to grant her a get.
Atara went to Dayan Sholom Shuchat of Brooklyn with this ridiculous idea, and he was mortified! He told her you cannot use a phony heter like this for anything, not even a 'bargaining chip.'
Next, Atara went to ostensibly 'Haredi' rabbi Gavriel Zinner (Sinner?), author of Nitei Gavriel whose specialty in halacha does not include women's issues (Even HaEzer), who signed off on the dubious heter.
With this glowing (scalding?) approbation, Atara ran off in 2018 with her new boyfriend Levi Feller (above), a former Orthodox Jew who had previously run away from his wife, keeping her an aguna until he finally divorced her, subsequently lapsing into a secular Jew. Soon after, they were 'married' against the halacha by modern 'rabbi' David Kaplan. The tragedy now is that in the eyes of halacha, Atara Kreindler is STILL MARRIED to Simcha Moshe Kreindler, and her future offspring are to be considered MAMZERIM. The bigger tragedy is, a new mamzer is reportedly already on the way!
