Gittin 90: When Not to Stay Married

08.14.2023 | כ״ז באב תשפ״ג

A new mishnah on this last daf! Specifically, under what circumstances is a husband allowed to divorce his wife – of course, a machloket, this time, between Beit Shammai, Beit Hillel, and Rabbi Akiva (based on interpreting a verse). Plus, 4 ways to understand the word, “ki,” in the biblical text. Also, ending the tractate with the full emotions of divorce – in sorrow and some measure or regret – a husband shouldn’t continue to stay married to a wife he hates, but he then is hated by God (with a distinction between first and second marriages).
