Divorce Rituals That Work

You are Jewish and you have experience with a civil divorce.  Many of us learn that our civil marriage is officially over through a letter in the mail or an email from the court office. With that behind us, a question lingers:

Do I feel like I have fully closed that chapter of my life?

If the answer to that question is somewhere between a ‘maybe’ and a ‘definite no’ you might consider a divorce ritual for yourself.  

Jews Get Divorce offers guidance, support and ritual leadership to help those of us seeking closure in the wake of their divorce.

Consider the following questions:

  • When does a Jewish marriage end?
  • What are compelling reasons to obtain a get?
  • What is the narrative about my life that I am ready to reclaim?
  • Who do I want to witness me in THIS transitional moment of my life?
  • Which part of my marriage do I want to hold on to? Which parts do I release?
  • How do I mark the end of my marriage with honor, intentionality, and holiness?
  • What kinds of vows and intentions should I make for the new emerging version of me?
  • What aspect of Jewish divorce tradition might speak to me now?
  • What lessons have I learned from my marriage and divorce?
  • How can I stay accountable?

    I highly recommend Rabbi Weinberg for anyone in need of a Jewish get. He guided me through the process of obtaining my Jewish divorce with clarity, patience, and deep respect for the emotional and religious weight of this process. His compassion and professionalism made a difficult experience far more manageable, and I’m truly grateful for his support.
