Lonna Kin of Monsey, New York needs a Get. Her husband Meir Kin received a civil divorce in 2007 and recently took the audacious step of remarrying on March 20 with the support of some Orthodox Rabbis in America. Meir Kin received written permission from 100 Rabbis to take a second wife, leaving Lonna Kin in a Halachic limbo.
As a symbolic gesture, I am seeking 100 Rabbis to sign this Letter of Compassion. 100 Rabbis sent letters of approval for Meir Kin to take a second wife. We need 100 Rabbis to say NO to the twisting of our sacred covenant by signing this Letter of Compassion to grant Lonna Kin a Get.
In the spirit of justice and in celebration of our Exodus from Egypt, I call upon you, the Rabbis of this great nation to stand with Lonna Kin by signing this Letter of Compassion to Meir Kin, asking that she be released from marital bondage and be granted a Get.
Sincerely,
Marilyn Wacks

The momentum behind this petition proves that decent people are fed up with these rabbis aiding Meir Kin in his cruelty. We are finally forcing a confrontation with the architects of this injustice.

This shanda needs to be rectified by the rabbis of every movement in every community.
Pesach is the time of our liberation. It is time Lonna Kin and other agunot are liberated from their bondage.
The names of the 100 rabbis who approved the unenthical and illegal marriage of Meir Kin should be made public for two reasons. To verify that such a document exists and if it does, to expose a group of men who would be so cruel as to grant such an outrageous heter.
Mr. Meir Kin: Be a mentsch; give your wife a gett. You have moved on with your life; allow her todo the same. And demonstrate that Jewish men are mentchen and not self-centered pigs.
I am so very proud to stand with my colleagues on behalf of Lonna Kin. May we all be a part of the freedom we celebrate on Pesach by signing our names and recruiting other rabbis to do the same.
Give lonna a get!enough is enough!
I'm sorry I only found out about this several months late. I hope and pray to Hashem that Lonna Kin receives or has received the Get she so deserves. How can this twisted and sick person be allowed to do such a thing?!! She deserves to be given whatever was written in the Get that was agreed upon when she got married originally. May g-d be with her.

What a disgraceful twisting of halacha. Since her husband refuses to fulfill his obligation honorably, another bet din should intervene and grant Lonna Kin a hafka'at kiddushin so she may move on with her life in dignity.
