Gett is one of the most acclaimed and widely discussed Israeli films of the past decade. Nearly the entire story unfolds inside a rabbinical court, where Viviane Amsalem has spent five years fighting for the right to divorce her husband. Under Israel’s religious marriage laws, a divorce cannot be granted without the husband’s voluntary consent. Until he agrees to sign the get (the Jewish bill of divorce), a woman remains legally married, regardless of her own wishes. Without dramatic action or special effects, the film is gripping from beginning to end, raising powerful questions that extend far beyond one woman’s story. 🕎 After the screening, we’ll stay for an open discussion about the film and its themes of dignity, gender roles, and personal freedom. 💭 Light snacks and drinks will be provided! 🎟️ Entrance is free with advance registration. Space is limited! ____ MHWOW Jerusalem is a Jewish community for young adults.
