  • Romance Vs. Prenuptial Agreements to Prevent Get-Refusal: a Practical Guide for Presenting the Topic
    Romance vs. Prenuptial Agreements to Prevent Get-Refusal: A Practical Guide for Presenting the Topic Rachel Levmore The Question In conversations with rabbis or professionals who provide marriage counseling, as well as in journals1 on related subjects, the same question arises over and over again, expressed at times with a note of hopelessness: “How does one present an agreement to prevent get-refusal to a couple in love, dreaming of a long and happy life together, without causing problems?” In fact, a better and more productive formulation of the question would be, “How do I go about presenting a prenuptial agreement without spoiling the atmosphere of love and good-will that prevails between the couple?”2 When our children approach marriage, we want the ideal of married life as a full partnership to guide the forging of the new relationship and household. In deciding any question or problem that may arise, we defer to this ideal along with the good will of the bride and the groom. We expect this same view to guide the couple throughout their marriage and – if, heaven forefend, it should become necessary – at its conclusion. However, this is not always how things turn out. Reality shows us that there is a great chasm separating the dreams that envelop us as we set out on the road of marriage and the complexity of the reality that comes crashing around us should we reach the end of the road. In truth, though, proper precautions at the outset can prevent much of the agony that may otherwise await us at the end.

Inside This Issue Shabbos Ha-Gadol: The Intersection of Shabbos What’s in a Name? and Pesach Like Royalty By Reena Evans The Shabbos before Pesach is called Shabbos Ha-Gadol, literally “the great Why all the Shabbos”. However, this special Shabbos that complements Pesach often gets lost Special: Faculty Spotlight— fuss about in all the pandemonium that surrounds Pesach. This is not a new problem. Rashi Rabbi Miller Chametz? writes in the Sefer Ha-Pardes, “People are accustomed to calling the Shabbos before Pesach Shabbos Ha-Gadol, but they do not know what makes this Shabbos Appreciating the Good greater than any other.” He states further that there was a special commandment at the time of the Freedom of Speech first Pesach to prepare the lamb four days earlier, on the 10th of Nissan, in order to ascertain that it did not have any blemishes and was fit to be given as a korban.

Twesrski, Rabbi Yakov Haber, Rabbi Yaakov Neuberger, Rabbi Michael Rosensweig, Rabbi Yonason Sacks, Rabbi Zvi Sobolofsky, Rabbi Mayer Twersky, Rabbi Mordechai Willig & Rabbi Benjamin Yudin Introduction For - כי ידעתיו למען אשר יצוה את בניו ואת ביתו אחריו ושמרו דרך ה‘“ I (Hashem) have loved him (Avraham Avinu), because he com- mands his children and his household after him that they keep the way of Hashem” (Bereishis 18:19.) The transmission of ourmesora has been a defining mission ofKlal Yisroel since the time of Avraham Avinu, and continues to be a central fo- cus in our individual and communal avodas Hashem. When trying to de- termine the best approach to chinuch for an individual or a community, at least three sets of factors must be carefully considered. The first set of fac- tors is comprised of the timeless values and priorities established by the Torah and explicated by Chazal. An unwavering dedication to mesora, the primacy of talmud Torah, emuna, chessed, kedusha, and all other Torah truisms define our ultimate goals inchinuch , as they do in all aspects of life, and provide the lens through which the other two factors are viewed. In addition to our timeless Torah values, successful chinuch has to take into account the contemporary challenges that exist in each generation and community. Current realities and problems, such as egocentrism, the ar- rogant superiority of youth, substance abuse, a rising divorce rate among religious families, children at risk, child abusers, and the unfettered hedo- nism of our surrounding society must be fully understood, and our chi- nuch efforts must be properly calibrated to overcome these challenges.
