Convert Rav Goes Back To Being Palestinian

Maariv has the story of a famous rav involved in the teshuva movement in Israel. He had been a convert, which his wife knew when they got married, and was originally a Palestinian Arab, which his wife had not known. It seems he has been threatened by his family, the original family, and recently decided to move back to his family's village. He took his wife and daughter and forced them to come with him, and locked them up.

When she tried to commit suicide, he was forced to take her to jerusalem to the hospital for treatment. After she received her treatment she ran away and went to the beis din and told them what had happened and that she wants a divorce.  It took some time to locate him, but they did and he finally agreed a few days ago to give her a get.

What a crazy story! I wonder if it is just a cover story. Maybe he is really going undercover to look for Jewish wives of Arabs and help extract them. Who knows? Just crazy.
