Reposting my comment:

I hypothesize that Adina Sash seized on the opportunity to bury her own compromising photos by defaming Raphi Stein as she claimed to advocate for Adeena Kohn.

I believe that if the Sash photo leak could be proven, it would be relevant to Stein’s case against her. The timing lines up.

If Sash’s husband is now leaking photos that adds another layer of depravity to the story.

CHRONOLOGY

February 2026 — Adina Sash claims (per NYT) that she “started” taking revealing selfies for her husband, Chaim.

However, the rumor (ALLEGED NOT VERIFIED) is that Sash was sending these photos to someone else, and that this man leaked the photos, which then circulated in Jewish circles through private WhatsApp groups.

This rumor could be readily substantiated by obtaining a screenshot from any recipient of said photos. None have come forward.

If true, it means that Sash had a motive to justify the photos’ existence and needed to do it quickly.

March 2026 — Raphi Stein, separated for a number of years and dealing with a protracted civil divorce and custody litigation in the NYS civil courts, appears pseudonymously on Living L’Chaim to talk about challenges associated with divorce.

Per Sash to NYT, she is alerted by multiple Instagram DMs to his appearance.

The offense is apparently that he “falsely” claims to be divorced while she is “chained.”

Sash admits she spoke to neither Adeena Kohn nor Raphi Stein before she “sprang into action” to create “Free Adeena,” a vigilante campaign labeling Stein a “Gett refuser.”

Consider the timing in relation to those photos.

Based on Sash’s credibility, the Jewish community descends on Stein like rabid dogs, and he suffers reputational and material damage as a result.

Anyone who associates with or defends him (or who refuses to instantly condemn him) is harassed by Sash and her minions as she asserts the moral high ground.

Influencers like Shabbos Kestenbaum attack Stein saying no one should associate with him. People are afraid to speak up and defend Stein.

Consider that Sash’s interests coincided with those of Rivky Kohn.

Importantly, Sash will not disclose whether she spoke to or worked with Stein’s ex-mother in law.

But according to his defamation filing against Sash, someone from within the Kohn household was leaking his information to her.

Logically, I doubt this was Adeena because, per NYT: “Soon [after the Free Adeena campaign started] Sash heard from a close friend of Kohn’s, who explained that the woman wanted to remain private.”

Public statement from Stein after Gett finalized also confirmed he worked amicably with Adeena on bringing the Jewish marriage to divorce.

But Rivky Stein, per Supreme Court filing, met with prior lawyer for Lonna Ralbag, the ex wife of Israel Kin. She is known as “the Mother of All Agunot.”

Ralbag herself has had a Jewish divorce since 2008 but opted to destroy Kin instead.

Notably, per Kin, Ralbag’s computer hard drive was mysteriously erased after Kin discovered material which he felt placed their young child at risk.

So there were shenanigans going on here.

Rivky Kohn met with a divorce lawyer on Adeena’s behalf AFTER “inviting” Stein to bring his wife and children to Monsey for a “temporary vacation” in the summer of 2020.

Rivky did this WHILE Adeena was in treatment for postpartum psychosis.

Psychosis means you don’t know what is real and what is not. You are not mentally competent to make decisions like “I want a divorce.”

Meanwhile Adeena became financially dependent on Rivky.

And Rivky had every interest in seeing Raphi Stein smeared and destroyed so that she could ensure continued access to the grandchildren.

She had a clear stake in her daughter’s court proceedings.

Any defamation of Stein by Sash worked to Rivky’s advantage.

May 2026 – Adina Sash inexplicably introduces the “Ervah” or nudity campaign. This is supposed to shock people into awareness of the plight of Agunot.

But in light of her own personal circumstances, it may be that the entire “Free Adeena” circus, the targeting of Stein, and the blatant encouragement of Jewish women to post skin pics, was all to drown out her own discrediting photos.

One of these photos circulated publicly online. (It shows her nude from the waist up with her hands covering her upper body).

Now, with all the feminist hubbub, Sash could plausibly claim, amid all the noise, that she leaked her own photo in solidarity with Adeena Kohn and all women.

During the campaign, Sash staged disruptive protests, set up a website doxing Stein and his family, and sought media attention nonstop. In the course of this activity, she made more and more outrageous statements.

Because of her reputation as a crusader for Jewish women, the community continued to entertain her rhetoric and to disregard her gangstalking tactics.

For example, on the Zev Brenner show she floated the idea that Jewish women should marry non-Jewish men because of Gett abuse being part of the Jewish marriage system. Sash repeated this on the Daniel Mael podcast.

Sash told Brenner “you have no idea how far I will go” i.e. to protect women.

June 2026 – Stein – Kohn Jewish and civil divorce finalized due to private efforts, not public pressure from Sash.

July 2026 – The “Divorce Crusader” article profiling Sash is published.

August 2026 — the Jewish community which so “bravely” attacked Raphi Stein as a so-called “Gett refuser” went radio silent.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist for these people to put together the compromising photos with the targeting campaign and conclude that Sash used Raphi Stein, and Adeena Kohn, to cover her own behind while claiming to advocate for women.

Meanwhile it is now alleged that Sash’s husband himself is leaking compromising photos of her. This also is not verified but if it is true, it suggests there is yet more to the story to be uncovered. A number of other rumors have been circulating unproven.
