Marriages sometimes come to an end. Divorce can be extremely
difficult -- but it also can be a time for spiritual and personal
growth.
What does Judaism say about ending a marriage? How can its
teachings help you to make hard decisions about divorce that will
affect you, your family, friends, and particularly your children?
In this practical guide from a Jewish perspective, rabbi, father,
divorce, and pastoral counselor Perry Netter provides information,
inspiration, wisdom, and strength for those experiencing -- either
directly or indirectly -- this challenging life transition. Rabbi
Netter draws on wisdom from centuries of biblical and rabbinic
teachings, as well as modern psychological research, to offer
practical suggestions for transitioning through the stages of
separation and building a new life. Topics covered include:
-- The existential question: "Why is this happening to me?"
-- The hardest question: "To leave or not to leave; how do I
decide?"
-- The guilt question: "Is divorce kosher?"
-- The psychological question: "What do I do with all this
anger?"
-- The most painful question: "How do we tell the kids?"
-- The ritual question: "How can I get closure?"
-- The awkward question: "What do I say to others?"
-- The legal question: "Should I mediate or litigate?"
-- The most important question: "How do we continue to raise
children together?"
Divorce Is a Mitzvah is an indispensable guide for people in
crisis and those who interact with them, showing us how to
transform a traumatic time of life into one of growth, right
behavior, and greater spiritual understanding.
