The rally was held at 4 Hilltop Ln in Monsey, New York in front of the home of Dovid’s mother Mrs. Rivka Wasserman, who continues to harbor him even as he is in ongoing violation of a Siruv for keeping Nechama chained to a dead marriage.
Crowds of people arrived in front of the home at 8:30 PM. Immediately the chants were heard, “FREE NECHAMA!” “ABUSER ON THE BLOCK!” “GIVE HER A GET!” “DOMESTIC ABUSE!” “NO GET, NO PEACE!”
They were the pained cries of a community who are deeply hurt to watch their sister stuck in limbo with no hope for freedom.
Dovid himself showed his face briefly, but only to peer out of an upstairs window and snap some pictures, before quickly scurrying away.
Dovid has withheld a Get from his wife Nechama for nearly 7 years now. He has no dispute with Nechama regarding finances or custody. Dovid enjoyed a very generous custody agreement from day one. To this day, Dovid interacts with his children all the time. Nechama also has not ever received a dime of child support, nor is she asking for that now. All she is asking for is the right to move on from a dead marriage, something that Dovid continues to deny her.

This guy’s chutzpa is incredible. How can he withhold her from the freedom of life? What could be the issue other than dirty chutzpa?
Sick and disgusting
you have no booosha to face your rebbeim there is no heter in the world to bashmutz a mishpacha like this you want ratings on yenems cheshbon FEH FEH FEH
might as well become a full fledged tabloid like the ny post remove this now and do teshuva or man up and say who the rav us that gave you a heter to do this, dont hide behind a anonymous daas torah to cause retzicha of a entire family
Mr. Anonymous,
What is really “Sick and Disgusting” is to be M’AGAIN his wife while ignoring Bais Din.
The question is if where the family is standing with this? Are they supporting him? If they arent supporting him and doing everything in their power to make him give a get then this step isn’t ok. But if they are silent or not doing enough then I’m sorry.. even according to halacha they are complicite. They should ex him out of their lives until he does the right thing. There was an aguna that was chained until this year for 12 yrs and his family supported him fully; believing his lies that the mafia will be after him if he gives the get. In any case, Hashem helped her at the end but he ended up in an israeli jail and after 3 months the get was given. But there’s no excuse for any family member to support a guy like this.. I’m sorry but these are the consequences of such terrible actions…
It’s like blaming the Parents for a child that nebach goes off the derech. You evil wicked pontificators, sitting on the comfort of your easy chair, reflexively blame the Parents. You wicked sinners know nothing. You all have a special place in gehenom awaiting you. I hope it comes soon. The world will be a better place without you judges.
Right, so you besmirch and malign a persons family without any apparent approbation, then you claim 25 or so individuals are “droves”.
Whatever….
did anybody endorse this or is just a bunch of bored rabble
…………………They’re all protesting against him. And what if he’s not the one to blame? Just saying…………..A lynch mob isn’t always right. Always hear both side ACCURATELY before making a judgement.
I am in shock! Some comments here smell so bad they may just be from his family. The only person who should be embarrassed and ashamed here is that guy peering from the window. There are no two sides, there are no excuses and there is no reasoning to abuse the giving of a get under any circumstance. If you have a disagreement, that’s what beis din is for. That’s what courts are for. You DO NOT chain a women to a dead marriage. All of you commentators are enabling this despicable behavior.
I am Not (to my knowledge) related to him in any way, and I think there are 2 sides to EVERY story.
What there arent two sides for is refusing a B”D Hazmana.
But that is hardly what this group of 25 or so individuals are protesting is it?
There’s no two sides to a get refuser.. period! Especially when theres a siruv out against him…
Well said. 100% true.
These comments are all ridiculous. Rabbi Schabes put out a letter with his phone number as well as a video endorsing the rally. While he denounced harassing the family, he very clearly said/wrote that pressure has worked in the past and its the way in todays times to show support for agunos and put pressure on the get refuser. And whoever wrote that there was 25 people there is in denial, there were hundreds there and 2000 watching live over zoom and social media. If it wasnt erev pesach there would have been many more. Many thousands more watched the recording online the next day.
So why not post the letter? Better yet, I’ll call the number, I ask R’ schabes shailos. It doesnt seem to have any endorsement so why wouldn’t they put that letter?
I think they are just encouraging him. If he was scared of them he would not be hanging out the window. He is probably a bored sole and all of the sudden he’s famous. I would revel in the attention if I were in his position. No way that they will get a Get this way.
A responsible & reliable “Beis Din” should put him in “Cheirum”. Period.
No more negotiations. Plain & simple.
Did YOU give your wife a get as soon as she requested one?
This is the “frum” #MeToo movement.
I would have liked to hear both sides of the story before jumping to conclusions. We don’t know if any allegations are factually true. That’s why such matters are traditionally handled by talmidei chachomim who happen not to be connected to either side. A bunch of what looks like feminists bused to Monsey does not constitute any kind of proof. I am not judging if the guy is guilty or innocent until he is given a chance to explain his side of the story.
WHAT TYPE OF KOSHER WEBSITE IS THIS?!?!
WHY ARE THEIR ONLY MUDNA MENTCHEN AT THIS RALLY IF THE SAME PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO HELP HER BEHIND THE SCENES WOULD COME TO THE RALLY THEN THE REST OF THE MAINSTREAM CROWD WOULD SHOW UP AND SHE WOULD GET HER GET FASTER #MAINSTREAMCROWD LETS GO GET HER A GET BEFORE PESACH EVERY NIGHT UNTIL YOM TOV ALL THE RABBANOIM AND GROISE KNAKERS AND ASKONIM SHOW SOME ANIVUS AND SHOW UP!! YOU ONLY DO BAKOVIDKE THINGS
NU, redden sich English?
You bring a good point, apparently #mainstream metchen dont participate in this garbage. Think before you do.
I have no knowledge of this particular story so I have no opinion about it.
I will say that even if you KNOW that one side is wrong you don’t get involved in a conflict without a clear psak from a RESPECTED Beis Din about what you may and should do. And what you may not.

“…a bored ‘sole’….???? ”
Where did you go to school?? Or did you??
The correct word is “soul”.
If you are not sure, there is such a book called a ‘Dictionary’!!
anyone wanting to see the siruvim from beis din can google “dovid wasserman” and plenty of them will show up
