"In The #Marital Knot: #Agunot in the #Ashkenazi Realm, 1648-1850 (Brandeis University Press), Dr. #NoaShashar of #SapirAcademicCollege in #Israel, has written an absolutely fascinating #book that details the plights of agunot from the time of the #Khmelnytskyuprising to 1850.

While agunot today are a somewhat rare occurrence, in the period she writes of, wars, persecution, accidents, and natural disasters, as well as travel along dangerous roads, the possibility of assuming a false identity, and conversion to Christianity, all made agunot not uncommon in the least.

The book details the lives of agunot during 1648-1850 and the men who brought about this situation. It traces the states of these #widows, whose husbands were nowhere to be found."

Why won’t my #abusive #parent admit they were wrong & apologise?
🧐"Many parents who abused their children will never apologise for te harm they've done; won’t acknowledge or admit te abuse at all.. A genuine apology reqs a shared #understanding of wat happened & why it was #unjust. Many perpetrators lack #selfconfidence, impulse control & #empathy. Tis often manifests as a string of #failed #marital relationship.. Things get more complex when te parent's abusing #alcohol"
