PERFORMANCE BERKLEY TOURS & TRAVEL 23100 Providence Dr., Suite 105 Southfield, MI 48075 559.8620 56 FRIDAY, NOV. 27, 1987 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-
