Rabbi Matisyahu Solomon is accused in court papers of counseling an eleven-year-old girl to deliberately be hostile to her mother as a way of manipulating a custody dispute between her parents.
Solomon is the mashgiach (spiritual advisor) at the large Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood, NJ since 1998. Before that he was masgiach in Gateshead, England, which is where he grew up.
Papers filed in Queens County Family Court accuse Rabbi Matisyahu Solomon of “assisting” a father in “wrongful attempts to alienate the daughter… from the mother.”
The mother submitted a motion to have the court issue “an Order of Protection directing Matisyahu Solomon… from having any contact with” the daughter.” There is a hearing on the motion on Thursday, July 16, 2015. Matisyahu Solomon has been subpoenaed to appear at that hearing.
