Two Agunot Cases SOLVED! (But Not Really) (Episode 18)

July 29, 2018 6:35 pm

In some ways, it’s a cause for celebration: an aguna for 18 years is finally released by a religious court. On the other hand, despite the fact that an Orthodox beit din has annulled the marriage, that decision has no effect whatsoever – none! – upon her legal status in Israel. Doesn’t that violate the principle that the decisions of a valid beit din are accepted, even if other rabbis disagree with the ruling? What does this tell us about the pitfalls of the religion-state mix in Israeli law? And what can each of us do to fix these problems? Join Anne, Rachel, and Shoshanna to find out.

If you like what we’re doing and what Chochmat Nashim stands for – that Judaism is better when women are heard – please contribute to the Chochmat Nashim annual campaign that is going on this very moment.

Your gift is an investment in every Jew in every Jewish community.

Censorship has pervaded our culture, and silenced women need your help.

Donate today and counter the damage caused by the systematic exclusion of women. Your gift makes the difference between extremism and a Judaism you can be proud of. Go to www.causematch.com/en/projects/cho…at-nashim-2018/ to do you part.
