objective of this book is to provide the essentials of the Jewish law of marriage and divorce, including the"get" procedure. It traces the historical development of rabbinic legislation for the protection of the rights of women; it discusses in depth Jewish divorce in modern times and it presents a detailed analysis of the variousattempts at solving the problem of the "agunah," the woman in marital limbo who "is unable to remarry because of the refusal of her ex-husband to grant her a "get." Special chapters deal, with the "get" in American courts and the attempts to protect the rights of the victimizedspouse through appropriate legislation of which the latest example is the recently enacted New York State law.

<p>The expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 by the infamous decree of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella was the culmination of a series of anti-Jewish persecutions throughout the 14th and 15th centuries in which thousands of Jews were massacred. Thousands of others converted in order to escape death. After the expulsion many more joined the ranks of these "new Christians" as an alternative to exile. A large number of converts, while outwardly professing Christianity, secretly continued to practice Judaism. These Marranos, as they were popularly known, were then mercilessly persecuted by the dreaded Inquisition which through tortures of forced confessions and auto-da-fes sent thousands to the stake. Many others managed to escape to countries outside the reach of the Inquisition where they created a widespread Marrano diaspora. Thousands of Marranos have survived even into our times. This seminal work by the eminent historian traces the tribulation of these secret Judaizers as well as the fate of those who succeeded in escaping to other lands where many of them rose to prominence in various fields of endeavor. This edition, the 5th, is published in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the Expulsion (1492-1992).</p>
