Today’s Talmud pages, Gittin 24 and 25, return once again to the need of a divorce decree to be written specifically and intentionally for it to be valid. Our friend Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to share that the writing of a proper get is one of the 613 mitzvot listed in the Torah, and how that should teach us the importance of doing this act with intention, and that the act of receiving a get can serve as an important transitional moment that should be sanctified. How could a divorce be a mitzvah? Listen and find out.
