responsibility of the shul he davens in?<br>
must he be asked to leave? is he allowed to be a member?<br>
<br>
2- if the shul knowingly harbors such an individual does it affect the<br>
status of the shul?<br>
<br>
3- is there a policy on this issue by the OU, aguda, RCA ?</blockquote></div><br> Our shul (Yavneh Minyan of Flatbush) has written into the by laws that any member obstructing giving a get is to be expelled until the issue is resolved. A siruv is part of the criteria used to determine if someone is obstructing the giving of a get.<br>
<br>This actually happened about six months ago in our shul. The first time in the history of the shul The Rabbi conferred with the BDA, who had issued the siruv. The person was given about 2 weeks to correct the situation & told the ramifications of not correcting it. At that point, the Rabbi, at the Shabbos drasha time, taught some hilchot of Seruv & announced the name of the person. He explained the Minyan's policy but stopped short of putting him in Cherem. <br>
<br>I am not sure I understand point # 3 as there are halachos that deal with the ramifications of a person who ignores a seruv of a Beis Din. Maybe there would be a question if it is of a Beis Din that the shul does not recognize.<br>
<br>Hope this helps,<br><br>Saul<br></div>
