Marriage & Divorce - Details and Questions

Deuteronomy 24:1 – 5

All about men who can divorce the wife he finds "obnoxious" (much discussion on what that means and the translation issues) but once he divorces her – he can’t have her back again. AND then -a man is obligated to make his new wife happy in the first year of marriage.

So many questions come…

It is all about relationships. Is it fair to look at the relationships of marriage in Biblical times and judge them by modern standards? Can we draw information that is helpful for relationships today? Who is responsible for the good relationship in marriage? Can broken relationships be repaired? And what about divorce today, how is it different, or is it?

Rabbi Citrin referenced an interesting book that reflects on the feminist viewpoint:
Engendering Judaism: An Inclusive Theology and Ethics By Rachel Adler

Good summary & analysis of main points in this book

by the way you can find Rachel Adler in Wikipedia impressive!
