All, I am humbly asking you to please support this important charity, which protects Jewish women from abuse and helps them through it. If my election suit coverage made your days better, and you can give or signal boost, I'd very much appreciate it jgive.com/new/en/usd/don…
For those who don't know, in Jewish law, a religious divorce is accomplished by means of a "Get", which is a religious document that must be given by the husband (personally or through an agent) to the wife to have any validity
Without the Get, the parties are still religiously married, with all the consequences that entails.
This should not be an issue. In 99% of cases, it's not. Not giving a Get is abusive - it leaves the wife locked in, unable to move on - and most of us aren't abusers

Get refusal is, straight up, evil in all circumstances. I don't say this lightly. I'm divorced (and happily remarried, thank God) myself. My divorce wasn't an easy one. Some of you know I ended up in a post-divorce custody fight.
The concept of withholding the Get as leverage?
The concept of withholding the Get as leverage?
Never remotely crossed my mind and makes me physically ill to contemplate.
But as we all know, there ARE abusers. Which means there are terribly victimized women who need help. CWJ is a public interest law firm in Israel that provides that help
