Reel Judaism: Jewish Film Series of The New Reform Temple
On Thursday, March 5 at 7pm at the Sulgrave, we will screen: Gett, the Trial of Viviane Amsalem. In Israel there is neither civil marriage nor civil divorce; only rabbis can legalize a marriage or its dissolution, which is only possible with the husband’s full consent. Viviane Amsalem has been applying for a divorce for three years but her husband Elisha, will not agree. His cold intransigence, Viviane’s determination to fight for her freedom, and the ambiguous role of the judges shape a procedure in which tragedy vies with absurdity, and where everything is brought out for judgment, apart from the initial request.
RSVP is required. Please contact the Temple office.
