IT IS SAID THAT ON DIVORCE, EVEN THE ALTER SHEDS TEARS.
IN JEWISH LIFE, DIVORCE IS TRAGIC- AND SHOULD BE TURNED TO AFTER ALL POSSIBILITIES FOR RE-ESTABLISHING MARITAL HARMONY AND EXHAUSTION OF ALL MEANS OF RE-KINDLING LOVE AND AFFECTION HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED.

But rather, MRS WENDI JILL MARKEL, aka Wendi Jill Adelson, waited for an opportunity to remove Dan Markel 's two sons, Benjamin and Lincoln, and also - almost all of the furniture in the marital home which she arranged to be put into storage. She had already got divorce papers ready; arranged for furniture storage; emptied Criminal Law Professor Daniel Eric Markel's BANK ACCOUNT of his EARNINGS of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF US DOLLARS WHICH HE WAS SAVING FOR HIS SONS' SCHOOL FEES, and without as much as a kind or explanatory letter, deposited copy divorce papers on one of the children's mattresses - which she left.


This was not normal female behaviour- nor indeed motherly behaviour.

Their marriage in 2006 was consecrated "according to the law of Moses and Israel. A Jewish marriage is not normally dissolved except "under the Law of Moses and Israel." Its procedure, based upon Biblical precept, is strictly governed by by the halakha. Divorces granted under secular or civil law by civil authorities have no validity under Jewish law. Civil divorces possess no moral or spiritual significance in severing the consecrated bonds of religious marriage.
The Jewish divorce proceedings must be supervised by a Beth Din, a babbinic court consisting of three rabbis competent in the laws of marriage and divorce.


THIS JEWISH BILL OF DIVORCE CANNOT BE FORM-PRINTED BUT MUST BE HAND WRITTEN IN ITS ENTIRETY-SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PARTICULAR MAN AND THE PARTICULAR WOMAN FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF EFFECTING THIS PARTICULAR DIVORCE.

HALITZAH IS THE CEREMONY OF RELEASE.
iIT IS BASED ON THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY 25: 7-10, THIS CEREMONY BEING THE PRESCRIBED ALTERNATIVE TO 'YIBUM' AND ALSO RELEASES THE CHILDLESS WIDOW.
