(14) Mamzerim, Part 2

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

lundi 26 mai 2025 • Durée 20:27

In this follow-up episode, Rivkah unpacks the legal system that enforces mamzerut in Israel—how laws and state policies conspire to erase biological fathers, deny children their rights, and deepen the pain of already vulnerable families. Through real stories, she exposes the hidden costs of preserving religious fictions at the expense of justice. Justice Unbound is made possible by the generous support of the Gimprich Family Foundation. Mentioned in this episode: Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, “‘That which is crooked cannot be made straight’: Mamzerim in the Israeli Legal System” in Mamzerim: Labeled and Erased, edited by Emily D. Bilski and Nurit Jacobs-Yinon

(13) Mamzerim, Part 1

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

dimanche 11 mai 2025 • Durée 21:50

Through a powerful story, Rivkah unpacks the painful and often hidden issue of mamzerut—a halachic status branding children as illegitimate and barring them from marrying within the Jewish community. Rivkah outlines the religious and social roots of this stigmatizing label, its devastating impact on families, and its dangerous entanglement with Israel’s divorce system. This is the first of a two-part series on one of Judaism’s most painful and morally fraught challenges. Justice Unbound is made possible by the generous support of the Gimprich Family Foundation. Mentioned in this episode: Mamzerim, Labeled and Erased, edited by Emily D. Bilski and Nurit Jacobs-Yinon.

(12) The Blacklist

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

dimanche 27 avril 2025 • Durée 14:44

Rivkah takes us deep into the shadows of Israel’s marriage system to explore the “blacklist”—a secret registry maintained by the Chief Rabbinate that tracks thousands of people prohibited from legally marrying in Israel. From accusations of adultery to the status of mamzerim, we explore who gets listed, how, and why it’s nearly impossible to clear one’s name. Behind closed doors, a quiet bureaucracy decides who may love—and who loses a fundamental right. Justice Unbound is made possible by the generous support of the Gimprich Family Foundation.

(11) Halachic Prenups

Saison 1 · Épisode 11

mercredi 26 mars 2025 • Durée 23:53

Too many women find themselves powerless in the face of get refusal or being trapped as an agunah. But halachic prenuptial agreements can change that. Rivkah explains how these agreements use legal and halachic tools to prevent injustice and why every couple--engaged and married--should consider signing one. Find the agreements here.

(10) Three Ways Out

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

dimanche 9 mars 2025 • Durée 34:30

Susan reveals how Israel’s rabbinic courts concoct an unholy trifecta of rigid formalism, extortion, and violence to deal with women trapped in unwanted marriages. Who really holds the power—the husbands or the dayanim (rabbinic judges)? Should the ends justify the means when punishing get refusers? Susan and Rivkah discuss why change remains elusive when justice, religion, and human rights collide. Justice Unbound is made possible by the generous support of the Gimprich Family Foundation.

(9) Grounds for Divorce

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

dimanche 23 février 2025 • Durée 19:53

What must a woman prove to be divorced in a rabbinic court? Susan shares a shocking case where she learned firsthand that, no matter what a husband does—whether he rapes, beats, cheats, takes another wife, withholds intimacy, or even if his wife is utterly repulsed by him—none of it grants her the right to leave. No fault of his is considered grounds for divorce. How is this possible? What does this mean for women trapped in these marriages? Justice Unbound is made possible by the generous support of the Gimprich Family Foundation.

(8) Killer Wife

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

dimanche 9 février 2025 • Durée 16:29

According to Jewish tradition, a woman who outlives two husbands is labeled a “killer wife,” believed to bring misfortune to any future spouse. In Israel, a woman suspected of being a killer wife needs special permission to legally remarry. Susan and Rivkah dive into a fascinating 2014 rabbinic court ruling that allows one such woman to escape the stigma—while paradoxically reinforcing the very law that condemned her. Justice Unbound is made possible by the generous support of the Gimprich Family Foundation. Book mentioned in this podcast: Pious and Rebellious: Jewish Women in Medieval Europe by Avraham Grossman

(6) Chalitza, Part 1

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

dimanche 19 janvier 2025 • Durée 26:18

Susan and Rivkah delve into the ancient ritual of chalitza, a halachic ceremony releasing a widow from marrying her late husband’s brother. What does chalitza mean for women today, especially in the modern state of Israel? What happens to a woman when chalitza can’t—or won’t—be done? Through personal stories, expert insights and a critical lens, we explore the halachic, legal, and cultural dimensions of this practice.

(5) Millet System

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

dimanche 5 janvier 2025 • Durée 16:34

What does the Ottoman Sultan have to do with Jewish divorce in 2025? Susan and Rivkah delve into the surprising origins of Israel’s two-tracked civil system, consisting of religious and secular courts. What is the difference between these secular and religious courts, and how do Israelis decide where to go? Are non-Jews in Israel also bound by religious courts? And how can a democratic state operate religious courts, anyway? Justice Unbound is made possible by the generous support of the Gimprich Family Foundation.
