The New York Times article on “FlatbushGirl” Adina Miles Sash raises serious questions about the whole “Ervah” (nudity) campaign.
First, why do it? As the article demonstrates, the tactic offended the community, which FG knows very well; it had no chance of succeeding. In fact, Raphi Stein is quoted: “Contrary to her claims of helping ‘agunas,’ her activities helped strengthen my negotiating position.”
Second, the timing is suspicious. According to her own account in the article, FlatbushGirl personally and separately took risqué photos of herself in February 2026, a month before the “Free Adeena” campaign started, ostensibly to send to her husband.
Given the likely ineffectiveness of the nudity campaign (just the opposite; it predictably backfired); given that Adeena Kohn requested privacy through a friend; and given that FG did not even ask either party for information about the case before launching the campaign—was something else going on here?
For example, did FG’s personal photos leak, and now she had an excuse to redirect the narrative?
This is important. According to the article, around 200 women compromised their privacy in outrage. And Raphi Stein was mercilessly gang stalked for months, losing his job in the process after being characterized as a truly monstrous person.
Please see the key quote from the article below.
“The idea for the Gett Naked campaign, for instance, came to Sash in February, she said, when she began to take risqué photos of herself to send to her husband — a way of spicing up a 20-year marriage. Then one morning, Sash connected the dots, just like that: The way to make more people pay attention to the Kohn case was hundreds of revealing photos. ‘It was just a jolt of inspiration, and from conception to posting it publicly was very impulsive and a matter of minutes,’ she said.”
