Mission

The organization for the resolution of Agunot (ORA) seeks to eliminate abuse from the Jewish Divorce process. ORA works within the parameters of Jewish law and civil law to advocate for the timely and unconditional issuance of a get. ORA believes that the protracted refusal to issue or receive a get is a form of domestic abuse which must never be tolerated. ORA seeks to foster a Jewish community in which a get is never used as a weapon. ORA pursues its mission through agunah case advocacy, early intervention programs, and educational initiatives for agunah prevention.

Programs

2 programs

Conducted educational programs and initiatives in schools, colleges, synagouges and community forums to educate participants about Jewish divorce refusal, domestic abuse, and the Jewish prenuptial agreement for the prevention of Jewish divorce refusal.

Expenses: $13K

Implemented a Jewish divorce resource phone line for individuals in the Jewish community facing divorce, called "One Step Forward." This resource line provided Jewish divorce information, strategic guidance, and emotional support to callers, as well as connecting callers with a wide range of legal, emotional and financial resources. This helpline provides guidance, support and referrals to more than 300 callers per year.
