The notice, headlined "Wanted," said community members were forbidden from doing business with Mr Briskman, allowing him to study in a Jewish seminary, or giving him a place to stay. The notice said: "It is not permitted to extend to him a kindness or favour in any form." According to the FBI, Mr Briskman fled Israel but was then lured to the rabbi's New Jersey home on Oct 16, 2010, under the pretence of collaborating on a book about the Talmud, a central Jewish text.
