Auction 4
Lot 122:
A polemical book in response to the suggestion by Conservative rabbis to make a takanah to “solve” the question of agunot. In the 1930s, Conservative rabbis awoke to the desire to find a solution to agunot who divorced only through the courts but whose husbands refused to give gets. Rabbi Yehuda Leib Epstein, a Conservative rabbi at Kohelet Yisrael in Brookline, Mass., was well-thought of generally and spent years studying this subject, he suggested a pre-nup solution, which he published, but most Orthodox rabbis came out against his suggestion. Many rabbis signed the petition included in the beginning of this book. 137 pages, tears and stains at the edges, soft binding. Generally good condition.
