their lives. Many are pressing
for reform in this most
private, yet public of arenas."
To indicate the unrespon-
siveness of Israel's rabbinical,
courts, Frankel cites the cases
of women who waited from 17
to 24 years to secure a divorce
from their husbands. In the
time one woman was waiting
for a court ruling, her hus-
band beat and abused her and
her two children, and commit-
ted one murder and six rapes.
In a study two years ago of
the rabbinical courts, a lec-
turer at Tel Aviv University's
law school described them as
"haphazard, sloppy and inef-
ficient." Another critic said
the court system is "left com-
pletely to the whim of the
judges."
But Rabbi Ezra Basri, who
has spent 18 years on the
Jerusalem court, countered
that the courts are "more in-
formal and humane than
Israel's civil courts."
They are, he said, "the on-
ly court in the world where a
woman can come without a
lawyer and without a lot of
money and get justice . . . The
problem is with a woman who
just decides she does not love
her husband anymore and
wants a divorce and he still
loves her."

Umm! But Is

For You?

Chicken soup may be a
staple of the traditional
Jewish diet, but how heathy
is it, especially that modern
version — canned ?
The Wellness Letter publish-
ed by the University of
California tackles this thorny
culinary issue. The newsletter
analyzed the calories, fat, and
sodium in eight ounces of
eight brands of chicken noo-
dle soup: Hain Naturals,
Pritikin (with ribbon pasta),
Progresso, Lipton (with white
meat), Campbell's (dry),
Campbell's (condensed),
Campbell's (with
mushrooms), and Campbell's
(low-sodium).
The results:
• Lowest in calories was
Lipton (65). Highest was
Campbell's with mushrooms
(148).
• Lowest in fat were
Pritikin and Lipton (both
with one gram). Highest was
Campbell's with mushrooms
(five grams).
• Lowest in sodium was
Campbell's low-sodium (63
milligrams). Highest was con-
densed Campbell's (910
milligrams). El
