As YWN reported, Afghanistan’s last Jew, Zebulon Simentov, who was evacuated from Afghanistan earlier this month, granted a get to his wife in New York on Erev Yom Kippur. Further details about the get were revealed earlier this week. According to a Makor Rishon report, the get process was overseen by the Sydney Beis Din, headed by Senior Dayan Rav Yehoram Ulman. The proceedings were conducted via Zoom. A screenshot published on Twitter by Makor Rishon journalist Zvika Klein on Twitter shows Rav Ulman (bottom left); Rav Mendy Chitrik, Chabad shaliach and Rav of the Ashkenazi Jewish community in Turkey and chairman of the Alliance of Rabbis in Islamic States (top left); Israeli-American businessman Moti Kahana who arranged Simentov’s evacuation and convinced him to grant his wife a get (top right); and Simentov (bottom right). היהודי האחרון באפגניסטן זבולון סימן טוב העניק גט לגרושתו גט אחרי כ-20 שנים שחיכתה לכך. בית הדין של סידני בראשות הרב אולמן ניהלו את התהליך ושימשו כבית הדין. נכחו גם הרב מנדי חיטריק מאיסטנבול ואיש העסקים מוטי כהנא pic.twitter.com/rZcZoV534e — Zvika Klein (@ZvikaKlein) September 26, 2021 Kahana also posted a screenshot of the Zoom call, with the signed document featured instead of Simentov. “Thank you to all the Rabbanim – from Australia to Turkey to New York.
