I am recently divorced and swiftly gave my ex wife a Gett. Why? Because its as much a mitzvah (good deed) as getting married in the first place. Plus I have always despised men who withhold a Gett in some crazed notion that it gives them power. The truth is it just makes you hated and miserable. Rivkah is a truly amazing young woman who has made an amazing life for her family and herself though hard work, education and determination. She is a real inspiration to me as an example of what one can do as a single parent if you try hard enough and don't take no for an answer.
To this man I say this. I urge you to give Rivkah a gett. As an ex husband myself I can honestly tell you that it does no good to hold onto something that is not there any more. Please do the right thing. She is an amazing person who does not deserve this. Please have some 'derech eretz' or at the very least some basic human respect. Allow her to move on with her life plus by doing this act you will be able to get on with yours. Giving a Gett for a man isn't easy but in the long run its worth it.
Please, enough of this, enough of the games I URGE you to give her what is rightfully hers - her Gett, her freedom. If you want some help in this matter or need someone to come with you to the Beth Din then please get in touch. I would lije to help rivkah if I can.

Very sad, when the halacha gets abused and misused in nasty ways.

This is a very important petition. I wholeheartedly give my support to the fight to get Rifka and women like her the justice she deserves. Please share with all your women friends.

My ex-husband was in Israel when I attended the Beth Din to obtain my Get. A rabbi stood in as his proxy. Since the only people who can help Rifka are the Beth Din they can surely find an edict, an obscure rule or some other way around this cruelty and allow a rabbi to act as the proxy in this case. Now that really would be something to celebrate.

refusing a get does not make you strong, it just shows you for what and who you are and brings shame on your family. It is selfish and sick
