Halachah
Continued from preceding page
its province. Consider what
has been left out of the hala-
chic process of the get and
what can be included. The
Bet Din has had nothing to
say to the couple coping with
the trauma of dissolution. No
Jewish wisdom is imparted to
them. The Bet Din does not
speak to the severed couple
about the ethics of separation
and the parental responsibi-
lity towards the frightened
children—children torn apart
by the need to perform heart-
rending "parent-dectomies,"
the need to choose one parent
over the other.
What help has the halachic
process of Jewish divorce of-
fered rabbis in congregations
who witness the vindictive
acrimony between the former
mates and present parents at
B'nai Mitzvah? Who shall be
invited? Who shall receive an
aliyah? Who shall give the
reception? Who shall rejoice?
And who will be rejected?
None of this is addressed by
the Bet Din which, for most
Jews, carry out the quintes-
sential act of the traditional
halachic process. Must that
critical human wisdom be
transmitted elsewhere, by
others, outside the experience
of halachah?
Is halachah then to remain
impersonal, pro forma, emo-
tionally irrelevant to the lives
of the family precariously
balanced between holding on
and letting go?
An expanded notion of
halachah, in the instance of
divorce, would include man-
datory, personal meetings,
with rabbis who are caring,
trained representatives of
Judaism, providing connec-
tion for the pained and con-
fused parents and children
whose need is for spiritual
guidance and direction—and
all this human concern would
now be considered indispen-
sable elements of the halachic
way. We who bemoan the
emptiness of riteless passages
must not settle for passage-
less rites that belittle the
majesty of the halachah.
We may, course, dismiss
healing processes and ethical
counseling as "aggadic,"
"extra-halachic." We may
argue that this kind of caring
is not within our halachic
jurisdiction. We may send
Jews in trouble elsewhere—
and they may well go else-
where. But we must under-
stand how such bifurcation of
rite and passage, of halachah
and healing is negatively ex-
perienced by the laity and by
the rabbi as well. A larger
view of the function and pur-
pose of halachah may well en-
tail the enlargement of the
Bet Din, encouraging rabbis
(Orthodox, Reform, Conser-
vative, Reconstructionists)
who are not trained to ex-
