Rosh Chodesh Tammuz 5779

The 17th of Tammuz commences a three-week period of mourning that ends with Shabbat Nachamu (the Shabbat of comforting by God of the Jewish people). But for the aguna, who does not know when she will be freed, every day is a day of mourning – for her life, for the life of her unborn children and for the life of our community as Jews.  

The following nineteen 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
Sharona bat Nai'ma	Shari Ahava bat Yocheved Miriam
Yael bat Mimi/Sichai	Leah Tzipora bat Sarah
Metuka Nechama bat Sarah	Sara bat Susan
Sarah bat Pari	Shira bat Aghdas Chaya
Miriam Elisheva bat Flora Sarah	Margalit bat Leah
Chana bat Tzivia Miriam	Ella bas Malka
Esther bat Rachel

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.
