Fuck yeah 🤜💥
"The “#Gett Naked” campaign, led by #activist #AdinaSash, is using anonymous images and public pressure to demand a #religious #divorce for an #agunah and force the issue back onto the community agenda.
A growing #online #protest campaign is drawing attention to the plight of #agunot — #Jewish #women trapped in #marriages because their #husbands refuse to grant them a #religiousdivorce.
The initiative is led by #socialactivist Adina Sash, who has worked for years in the #UnitedStates on behalf of agunot and women denied a gett. Sash runs the platform collecting and publishing the images and messages sent by participants. Each #woman decides her own level of exposure, according to her boundaries around #modesty and her personal sense of mission."

"In The #Marital Knot: #Agunot in the #Ashkenazi Realm, 1648-1850 (Brandeis University Press), Dr. #NoaShashar of #SapirAcademicCollege in #Israel, has written an absolutely fascinating #book that details the plights of agunot from the time of the #Khmelnytskyuprising to 1850.
While agunot today are a somewhat rare occurrence, in the period she writes of, wars, persecution, accidents, and natural disasters, as well as travel along dangerous roads, the possibility of assuming a false identity, and conversion to Christianity, all made agunot not uncommon in the least.
The book details the lives of agunot during 1648-1850 and the men who brought about this situation. It traces the states of these #widows, whose husbands were nowhere to be found."

Jewish immigrant men abandoned their wives in droves a century ago. Their stories are getting a new look
By Luke Tress June 14, 2024"...The issue of abandonment was widespread in the immigrant world of early 1900s New York, common enough that well-known psychics...specialized in divining the whereabouts of missing men. Reasons for leaving families varied, but the most common appeared to be other women. Other reasons recorded by the bureau include criminality, “influence of bad friends,” “Broadway high life,” “to evade military service” and “did not like Baltimore.” Sometimes women left their husbands due to “cruelty” or “barbarity,” a euphemism for domestic violence...
A common denominator among all the cases: the hardship of arriving in a new country. Many immigrants lived in cramped tenement apartments with their families, working long hours, six days a week, and divorce was expensive..."
