Book Description

To end her 30-year marriage, Elise Eldelson Katch is preassured to participate in an ancient Orthodox ritual that requires her to stand alone before a panel of emotionally distant Orthodox rabbis. At first stunned, confused, and fearful, she ultimately comes to believe that the get is truly a profound emotional experience. With the assistance of two very special spiritual leaders, she confronts her insecurities and fears, and emerges victorious.

This beautifully written book details a process that has rarely been told before. You will be fascinated by this personal and spiritual quest from loss to abundance, and be propelled through an experience of anxiety and intensity until the moment of finality is reached, when a single piece of parchment-representing a life together-is dropped into the author's hands and cut.
