Bais HaVaad Dayanim Meet with Ocean County Court Justices

The Bais HaVaad Dayanim were recently invited to a meeting at the Ocean County Court House in Toms River with prominent Ocean County Court Justices, including Assignment Judge Francis Hodgson Jr., the top judge in the county, and Family Presiding Judge Madelin F. Einbinder. Rav Dovid Grossman, Rav Yehoshua Wolfe, and Rav Yehoshua Greenspan, along with other Dayanim, represented the Bais HaVaad at this important meeting. The session was called due to a growing increase in divorce and familial cases that have seen a significant overlap between the court and the Bais Din and underscored the importance of an ongoing relationship between the Bais HaVaad Rabbinical Court and the Ocean County judiciary, with a shared commitment to serving the best interests of families in conflict.
