Yad LaIsha

Book Summary


Does Jewish law permit an unhappily married woman to initiate a divorce? Is an annulment possible according to halakha? In this groundbreaking study of women, divorce, and halakha, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin examines these and other pressing, timely issues. Relying on early halakha that permitted women to initiate divorce, Rabbi Riskin calls for special beit din delegations to release women from aginut, and lays out other legal solutions to the painful problem of mesoravot get. Translated from the English by Michal Levin.
