This is a collection of a few key texts from Torah and Mishnah that explain the rules and origins of Jewish divorce rituals.

Suggested Activity: Have your students discuss the following questions: Who has the power in a Jewish divorce according to the texts provided—the husband or the wife? Which words in the text indicate a sense of power or control? What do those words mean? Why do you think a new bill of divorce needs to be written for each woman receiving a Get? Ask students to write new versions of the texts, editing them in a way that they feel would redistribute the power more equitably.
