Free Translation of the Letter from Horav Yurkowicz

 [Please note that the bolded text is Rabbi Yurkowicz's, not mine.]

As a consequence of "clarification" that was unfortunately publicized on Motzoe Shabbos Shemini, which was written in my name as if I approved it via correspondence, I would like to state that:

1. The version that was publicized was without my consent, and therefore it should be clear that the above document has no authority as a decision of the zabl"o, and no one has permission to go to another Beis Din.

...and the Zabl"o Writes!

Translation of the letter from the Zabl"o

1. According to was stipulated on the shtar borrerus, that even if one or two dayonim remove themselves, the zabl"o is still able to pasken, and clearly the zabl"o is still in its full authority.

2. Also, authority is with the zabl"o to make judgements, even after the psak din, regarding conflicts that arise regarding the implementation of the psak and regarding any complaints about the psak.

3. The zabl"o (while still in its original membership) offered Horav Avrohom Osdoba shlita the opportunity to submit his complaints and appeals, and guaranteed that they would be considered. This indeed happened (e.g. the complaints and appeals have indeed been previously submitted to the attention of the Bais Din Zabl'o).

The Zabl"o Writes!

Translation of the Psak

Since the above mentioned beis din of five has already deliberated and made a psak din regarding accepting the elected Rov and determined that he should take his position [of rabbonus], there is no place for any summons or ikul from any other Beis Din in this matter.

Psak!
