Letter entitled “Power of Unity” was
FORGED by Yitzchak Yehoshua and Duvid Eisenstein
Yitzchak Yehoshua and his supporters had encountered a major problem. Many Rabbis in Israel questioned why Yehoshua had no support from Rabbis from within his own Queens community. To say the Ashkenazim hate him and the Sephardim are jealous of him, was not convincing enough. And so, to resolve the issue, Yehoshua turned to his hired
employee, Duvid Eisenstein, and he promptly found a solution: Forgery.

The caption in Yehoshua’s deceiving family newspaper states:
Rabbi Dovid Feinstein meets Rabbi Duvid Eisenstein, a messenger of the Beit Din of Rav Bakshi Doron from Jerusalem.
The following is a more accurate description of this picture:
Rabbi Dovid Feinstein meets Duvid Eisenstein, the hired employee of Yitzchak Yehoshua, who is lying and deceiving the
Beit Din of Rav Bakshi Doron in Jerusalem.
More Lies and Deceptions by Yehoshua and Eisenstein
After hiring their public relations firm, both Yitzchak Yehoshua and Duvid Eisenstein had misled people into believing that Maran Harav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv supports Yehoshua. They also went on a tremendous campaign in deceiving several Torah leaders in the United States. What you will see here is further proof to how Yehoshua and Eisenstein will resort to any form of dishonesty in order to accomplish their goals of misleading the community.
The following two letters were publicized by Yitzchak Yehoshua in numerous Shuls and in his family’s deceiving newspaper. The facts behind the two letters will once again prove that Yehoshua and Eisenstein may not be trusted.

Yitzchak Yehoshua and his supporters proudly boasted both these letters and deceived people into thinking the Queens Beit Din had not kept their word and acted unjustly. And now, we present to you the truth behind both letters thereby revealing more of
Yehoshua’s deceiving ways.

As you can clearly see, Yitzchak Yehoshua’s desire to be judged by a Beit Din outside of the
Queens community stems from the fact that this is the only way for him to potentially succeed in
his tremendous lies and fabrications.
As such, all letters from Israel that question the decision of the Queens Beit Din, from both the past and in the future, are absolutely null and void, as it is extremely difficult to track all
the lies and fabrications created by Yehoshua and his hired employee, Duvid Eisenstein.
This has been the position of the Queens Beit Din from the onset of this case and this position will not be changed.

Yehoshua’s supporters pressured witnesses and Rabbonim Throughout the duration of this case involving Yitzchak Yehoshua, several of Yehoshua’s supporters have exerted tremendous amounts of pressure against witnesses that were willing to testify, and against Rabbonim that had signed the documents against Yehoshua. Pressure had also been placed on several family members of those who stood for the truth. Indeed, while many had the inner courage to ignore the pressure against them, others had succumbed to it. Recently, Yehoshua’s followers had publicized that Rav Menashe Tzadka had not signed on the Kol Koreh
against Yehoshua and that his signature was forged. Similar statements were written of other Rabbonim, including R’ Friedman. And so, we once again present a copy of the Kol Koreh (on the far left) that was publicized protesting Yitzchak Yehoshua’s violations
of the torah, with the signatures of leading Rabbonim of the community. In addition, we present a letter by both Rav Tzadkah (on the bottom) and Rabbi Friedman (above), confirming the authenticity of their signatures. Rabbi Friedman, however, adds that he no longer wants to be involved in this case because he isn’t a dayan and is not aware of all the details of the matter (more information as to the cause of his retraction will not be publicized in order to spare embarrassing “respected” members of the Queens community who were involved in pressuring R’ Friedman).
As for Rav Menashe Tzadka, he had unfortunately been deceived by several of Yehoshua’s supporters who told him that Yehoshua had never received a hazmanah. As such, in a letter authored in July of 2012, Rav Tzadkah writes:
Being that false rumors are being spread with regards to the documents that had been issued by the Queens Beit Din, I therefore publicize that I had indeed signed on the documents (against Yehoshua) together with all the prominent Rabbis of Queens, and this document has absolutely no forgeries nor lies, chas veshalom.
Signed- Menashe Tzadkah

Yitzchak Yehoshua is not only deceiving Rabbi’s in Israel, he is also deceiving members of Congress
On May 16th, 2012, a special event honoring American Jewry was held at the United States Congress. Yitzchak Yehoshua was scheduled to be honored at this event as a representative of the Bukharian community. Sadly, he allowed false information about his current position in the Bukharian community to be published, in order to present himself as a man with tremendous influence. In the invitation (reprinted below), Yehoshua is falsely described as the Chief Rabbi of the Bukharian Jews in America, the president of the Bukharian Rabbinical Council of America, and one who gives spiritual guidance to over forty Bukharian Centers. An online version of the invitation added that he serves as the Rabbi of the Bukharian Congress. The reality, however, is that the rabbinical leaders of the Queens community have rejected Yehoshua as a Rabbi, let alone as a Chief Rabbi. Furthermore, Mr. Lev Leviev, the founder and president of the Bukharian Congress, has removed Yehoshua from his position as Rabbi in the Bukharian Congress and all its affiliated community Centers across the United States. These facts did not hold Yehoshua back from allowing a false description of himself to be published, once again proving that honesty isn’t a priority of his, rather the pursuit of honor is.
Below is a partial photo of the original invitation together with the false description of Yehoshua’s current position:
Below is the online version of the invitation which falsely states: “Today, Rabbi Yehoshua is the Rabbi of the Bukharian Jewish Congress”
It should be noted, that several days prior to this event, the organizers were informed that Yehoshua had lied and misrepresented himself, and he was therefore removed from being an honoree. This, however, did not stop Yehoshua from honoring himself in Congress a month later. He met different politicians in the nation’s
capitol who wished him success as Chief Rabbi of the Bukharian community. If they only knew the truth………..

Yitzchak Yehoshua LIED to
Rav Shlomo Amar and to the entire Queens Community

The Queens Beit Din asked Rav Shlomo Amar for a statement summarizing the above incident since Yehoshua
publicizes that Rav Amar supports him. Indeed, on April 18th, 2012 (26th of Nissan 5772), Rav Amar authored a personal statement to the Queens community and it is presented below.
The following is an explanation of Rav Shlomo Amar’s letter:
I haven’t delved into this matter and thus never gave a clear position, though I have told Yitzchak Yehoshua to leave the community of Queens until the fury has passed -until this matter is resolved. Rav Bakshi Doron asked me to allow Yehoshua to visit me and he told me that Yehoshua is indeed willing to accept what ever I tell him to do. Yehoshua visited me [in my office] and had a picture taken with me, but he left and DID NOT follow what I told him. His actions are extremely unfortunate!!….
Signed- Rav Shlomo Amar
Indeed, everyone can clearly see that Yitzchak Yehoshua had the chutzpah to lie to Rav Shlomo Amar, the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, and then lie to the entire Queens community as well….

The following letter by Rav Shlomo Amar once again proves that Yitzchak Yehoshuah has been lying to the entire Queens community

Warning of Cherem on Yitzchak Yehoshua
This booklet revealed just a small fraction of the tremendous chilul hashem that Yitzchak Yehoshua and
his supporters have been guilty of through their lies and fabrications around the globe. There are many more details and information which the Queens Beit Din prefers not to publicize in order to spare embarrassing members of the Queens community who were involved in some of Yehoshua’s despicable lies.
We make it clear that if Yehoshua wants to do Teshuva from being machtee et harabeem, he must drop his
position as Rabbi in our community as per the psak of the Queens Beit Din. However, if he continues to violate this ruling, or if he prints anymore of his publications which are full of lies and are Mevazeh Kavod hatorah, then his misdeeds will officially be publicized around the world, including in Eretz Yisroel where his reputation for violating the Torah is still unknown.
In addition, violating the psak will compel the Queens Beit Din to officially excommunicate Yehoshua
from the Queens community. All those who support Yehoshua’s campaign in being mechalel shem shomayim will ultimately be held accountable for being mevazeh and mezalzel the psak of the community Beit Din.
We make it clear that the Rabbonim of Queens are not obligated to respond to Yehoshua’s lies and fabrications. We did so on this occasion in order prove in a clear fashion that Yehoshua and his supporters are very cunning and will do anything to fool members of the community and Rabbonim in Eretz Yisroel. The next statement coming from the Queens Beit Din will not be one responding to Yehoshua’s lies but rather it will be one pronouncing an official Cherem on Yehoshua.
On behalf of the Queens Beit Din and its leading Rabbonim, we make it clear that the case involving Yitzchak Yehoshua has caused tremendous tza’ar and agmas nefesh to the entire Queens Rabbinate and its holy congregations. This has surely been a painful chapter in the history of our united community. However, when the Torah is being blatantly violated by one who represents himself as an orthodox Rabbi, it is forbidden for us to remain silent. The community Rabbonim had no choice other than to unite and put an end to the tremendous chilul hashem that has been taking place in our midst. We pray that Hakadosh baruch hu give us the strength to continue uniting the community in the ways of the Torah !! "!"" #!$% &!' ()(*"
