The Center for Women's Justice is working to ensure that  women are treated with dignity and equality in Israel's Rabbinic Courts, and to correct any injustices that may befall them. The stories that Savta Bikorta tells are real. She is a figment of our imagination.

Other YouTubes: From the Beginning — how marital property issues are reopened in the rabbinic courts at the request of the husband, leaving both the wife’s personal status and property at the mercy of the husband and court. (Hebrew with English subtitles) http://sites.google.com/site/cwjhebrew/savta-bekorta
Taking Testimony in the Rabbinic Courts — how the rabbinic courts are clueless when it comes to evaluating the weight of evidence, and the near impossibility of proving domestic violence. (Hebrew with English subtitles) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkesLzoq6yg&feature=related
Oops, You’re not a Jew — how the rabbinic court can undo a conversion of many years with sleight of hand, and when you’re not even expecting it and thought you were just going for a get. (Hebrew with English subtitles) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqp-3CoyuQI&feature=related
No Fault — how no fault of the husband is grounds for divorce. Even when a husband has molested his own child, the rabbinic courts do not view this as ground for divorce. (Hebrew with English subtitles) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NJi9S4zOCc&feature=related
