In today’s Talmud pages, Gittin 33 and 34, we explore the need for a divorce decree to be contingent on the will of the sages. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin returns to explore what is so special about a marriage contract and divorce decree that it must be in accordance with Moshe and the Jewish people when other mitzvot don’t require such stringency. Is the Jewish marriage about the two people involved, or is the larger community a part? Listen and find out.
