11. A Forced Divorce and its Rabbinic Repercussions - Feat. Rabbi Elie Weissman

from Shu"T First, Ask Questions Later · host Moshe Kurtz

Rabbi Elie Weissman presents a responsum of the Noda B'Yehudah (E.H. 75) in which a shliach (agent) is appointed to force a woman to accept a divorce document. R. Weissman delves into the halachic considerations and also reveals a not-so-obvious historical context to this responsum...that it was very personal for both the Noda B'Yehudah - and his interlocutor Rav Itzele Halevi (who is also Rabbi Weissman's ancestor).
