Yad L'isha is a Legal Aid Center and Hotline providing women imprisoned in hopeless marriages with the free legal representation they need to receive a Jewish divorce. Staffed by female rabbinical pleaders who practice as advocates in the rabbinical courts, Yad L'isha is often the last option for women who are not able to get a divorce otherwise. We accept women of all backgrounds, affiliations and ages, whose husbands are refusing to set them free, and we leave no stone unturned in our efforts to free them from the marriage that has become their prison. Yad L'Isha also supports these women, the agunot, by holding empowerment and parenting workshops, personal coaching and financial counseling.
