Binding Arbitration, Beth Din and civil courts

[Kenalp]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY

According to our divorce agreement, if there is any 'default' dispute about any part of the agreement, we agree to submit it to a Beth Din (Jewish religious court) for binding arbitration.

My ex instead has sued me in family court.

My question is : can I have the case thrown out because she should be bringing the case to the Beth Din? Does our agreement remove jurisdiction from the civil court system?

Any help greatly appreciated
