Issues Manual on Divorce
CHICAGO (JTA)—A manual on
Jewish divorce laws has been pre-
pared by a Chicago rabbi for dis-
tribution to the 1,700 members of
the Decalogue Society of Lawyers
here to instruct them on the pro-
cedures involved in drawing up a
religious divorce.
The manual, entitled "A Reli-
gious Procedure in Obtaining a
Jewish Divorce" was written by
Rabbi Moses Mescheloff of West
Rogers Park Congregation and
presented to the lawyers by the
Chicago Rabbinical Council. The
manual states that Jewish law re-
quires a religious divorce when-
ever a Jewish man and woman
have lived together as husband and
wife and then wish to sever their
marital status, whether the couple
is religiously observant or not.
In connection with the distribu-
tion of the manual, it was pointed
out that the state of Israel has
refused to accept as valid any
Jewish divorce not written by the
rabbinic authorities.
