  1. "In recent decades, we have made meaningful progress in addressing cases of #getrefusal, where a husband refuses to grant his wife the #Jewish #writ of #divorce that will set her free. The time it takes for the #rabbinical courts to obligate a get has shortened dramatically, and sanctions against recalcitrant husbands are imposed more frequently. The courts have become more efficient and have refined their procedures, so that we are now able to resolve the vast majority of cases within two years.

    Yet, paradoxically, even as the system has improved in handling cases of get-refusal, it has lagged in addressing the plight of “classic” agunot: women whose husbands have disappeared, fled the country, or are mentally unfit to grant a get. When there is no one to pressure, no one to sanction, the system stands nearly frozen."

  2. CW: Poem, Coffee, Terrible Ideas

    Wilderness Temptation
    April 25, 2025

    cougar having a lie-down t’back patio
    love and I over coffee saying we really
    want to open the door so, so quiet

    rub our faces in tummy fur, both of us

    setting cups down, sneak, sneak, sneak
    to the squeakiest sliding door that ever

    squeaked

    cougar looking us in our deadpan
    while we hold hands saying

    uh-oh
