The information included in the article provides crucial information for Diaspora Jewish communities and Rabbinical Courts the world-over regarding the new law, which empowers the Israeli State Rabbinical Courts to secure a get, for agunot who neither they nor their husbands are Israeli citizens. Representing the Rabbis of Europe, Rabbi Goldshmidt expressed his gratitude to Dr. Levmore for her work in resolving agunah cases in the Diaspora.
