The Department facilitates marriages (huppah), conducts divorce procedures (get), registers these civil status acts in its registry, and facilitates the selection of a qualified rabbi to conduct the marriage in accordance with Torah law.

​

Wedding
A traditional Jewish wedding is a joyful, but at the same time difficult process.
Before the wedding, the bride and groom must take special lessons from a rabbi and a rabbanit and only then begin planning the chuppah ceremony itself, which is carried out according to strict regulations.
The court helps the future young family to carry out this important event for them correctly and without unnecessary difficulties.

​

How does this work?
•The applicant  fills out the initial application form;
Next, the Rabbinical Court:
•Studies the application and analyzes whether it is subject to consideration;
•If applicable, it refers applicants to confirm their Jewish status here;
•If Jewishness is confirmed, then it sends applicants to undergo preparatory classes (hadrahat hatanim and hadrahat kalot);
•Applicants receive permission from the Court for a specific rabbi to perform their chuppah (marriage ceremony);
•The bride immerses herself in the mikvah on the eve of the chuppah;
•A chuppah (wedding) is held;
•After the chuppah, the Rabbinical Court issues the applicants a marriage certificate.

​

Divorce
The court helps to establish peace between spouses.
If it is not possible to save the marriage, the Court, at the request of the parties, carries out the divorce procedure. 
In Judaism, a married woman ceases to be one in only two cases - the death of her husband or receiving a divorce letter (get) from him. The get is drawn up according to a strictly defined form, and there are strict requirements for the procedure for handing it to the woman. If a married woman has not received a get, she cannot marry another Jew.
If a child is born from an intimate relationship between a Jew and a Jewish woman who has not received a Get, then he has the extremely disadvantageous lifelong status of a "mamzer".
A mamzer, in particular, can never marry a Jewish woman, except in certain cases, such as if the bride is also a mamzeret.
This issue is one of the most important in Judaism, and therefore, to resolve it, it is imperative to contact the Court for consideration of the case on the merits.
