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.

#Republican former New Jersey @GovCTW calls #Trump's @GOP a "cult," and she believes a new, more centrist party could rise up in its place.

"I'm a firm believer that our country does better with two parties, a center-left and the center-right," Whitman tells @MargaretHoover.

The crisis of Orthodox teachers leaving... and not coming back. (And they have good reasons, too.)

"A government that arose through blind hatred, out of evil argument not for the sake of heaven... a cursed government..."

A thread about religious Knesset members and the language they sometimes use against their opponents.

So my @Delta flight to New York was canceled, after an initial leg from Tel Aviv to Boston. I was told by an agent this morning that I would be notified about any changes by email. Nope. I found out by showing up. Not cool, Delta. (Yes cool @7News who interviewed me just now.)

All podcasters who use @SoundCloud: maybe this latest problem (the server 100% down) means that it's time to take the plunge and switch to an actual podcasting host like @libsyn. That's my plan...
