Rivka, An Agunah

Analysis / Interpretation / Press

Excerpt:

“Orly, 41, an agunah for 13 years.”

“Rivka, 41, an agunah for 17.5 years.”

The black posters with images of a woman’s chained hands and personal details of each agunah — a woman being denied a Jewish writ of divorce by her husband — were plastered around south Tel Aviv on Tuesday by a group of activists and agunot.

Designed by Israeli street artist DODO, the posters were made for Yom HaAgunah, dedicated to women chained to abusive or unviable marriages.
