A New Approach to Jewish Divorce.
Eisenstein, Ira
Journal of Divorce, v6 n4 p85-90 Sum 1983
Describes recent changes in the traditional Jewish law of divorce, which permits a husband to divorce his wife but does not sanction the wife's divorcing him. The rabbis of the Reconstructionist Movement in Judaism have innovated an egalitarian divorce to prevent Jewish women from becoming abandoned wives. (JAC)
