The article by Sarah Levi, entitled “Will they ever be unchained?”, reports on what is being done to help such women who are trapped in abusive or unviable marriages, and examines ways of preventing greater numbers of women from experiencing the same fate. We are extremely proud of Omer and our outstanding female advocates for the work they are doing on both fronts.
While today there are other organizations which assist trapped women in a variety of ways, Yad La’isha remains in the forefront as the largest, most experienced and most comprehensive support center for agunot, as noted in the article. It is our fervent hope that, together, we will be able to eradicate aginut from our midst entirely, and return to the original, compassionate spirit of halacha.
