Rosh Chodesh Shevat 5779

As we prepare to recite ‘Shehechiyanu’ for tasting new fruits on Tu B'Shevat, let us imagine the joy of a woman who has been freed from a dead marriage. Let us imagine Rabbinic courts that seek halachic precedents to void a marriage where it is warranted. Let us strive to recite "Shehechiyanu" –  thanking Hashem for sustaining us to behold the day when every Agunah case is resolved.

The following twenty one women are still in need of a get, and have asked for your prayers.

Sara bat Shoshanah Rosa	Esther Rochel bat Sofia Marguiles
Esther bat Ruchama Leah	Anat Bat Chedva
Elana Chayah bat Edna/Moones	Shoshana bat Mahnad
Ifat bat Esther	Shari Ahava bat Yocheved Miriam
Devorah bat Doris	Leah Tzipora bat Sarah
Metuka Nechama bat Sarah	Sara bat Susan

With joy and gladness, we celebrate with Lilly bat Dorty who was freed this past month.

By reciting the names of those who have still to receive their get, we break the silence of suffering in our community. May our prayers be heard.
