(7) Chalitza, Part 2

Justice Unbound: Women, Religion and the State of Israel

As the war in Israel leaves countless families shattered, the issue of chalitza resurfaces with complicated consequences for widows. In this second episode on chalitza, Susan and Rivkah discuss halachic solutions--past and present--and why the current crisis makes it more urgent than ever to address. Learn about what the Center for Women's Justice is doing to ensure women’s freedom and dignity in their most vulnerable moments. Justice Unbound is made possible by the generous support of the Gimprich Family Foundation.
