Halakhic Resources
Jewish divorce, agunah prevention, and halakhic learning that centers women's lives and voices.
Jofa sees the agunah issue as a social injustice and believes there is a critical need for a systemic, halakhic solution. These resources help couples protect themselves before marriage, guide women through the beit din system, and open the halakhic sources behind it all.

The Halakhic Prenuptial Agreement
We strongly recommend that all couples sign a halakhic prenup before their wedding. It is the single most effective deterrent against get refusal, and it protects the whole community, not just the couple who signs it.
