"Rabbi Akiva taught: If a man and a woman merit it, the Divine Presence rests between them. If they do not merit it, fire consumes them. (Babylonian Talmud, Sotah 17a) How can Rabbi Akiva's words be reconciled with a world where one in three couples separates or divorces? And how can one "separate forces" according to Judaism? In this session, we will meet with Rabbi Shlomo Zacharoff, who serves, among other roles, as the Chairman of the Halachic Committee of the "Knesset Harabanim" of the Masorti Movement in Israel and manages its Rabbinical Court for Divorce. Together with Rabbi Shlomo, we will delve into the Jewish divorce ceremony and learn about its origins, the course of the ceremony, the content of the Get (divorce document), how it is written, what it obligates and what it permits, and much more. A session of learning, conversation, and sharing. Wednesday | April 26, 2020 | 7:00 PM–9:00 PM "Befanuchu" Space 9 Itamar Ben-Avi Street, Tel Aviv.
