Borders made of roses
Exqusite, exquisite presentation of the meaning and purpose of Torah..and I saw a whole new meaning to the words that we are to be holy because God is holy...it is not about our becoming holy but about our guarding our holiness..and thank you for so clearly stating the innermost core of Judaism: the synthesis of the infinite with the finite..so much to process and internalize...thank you.

Unfair
Very interesting essay, you really write beatifull, initially as I was reading I was a getting a bit annoyed that you were referring to people who are divorced as not having tried hard enough or not sacrificed enough when unfortunately I've got to know many divorcees and non of their stories is an ego centered one (ok, maybe one out of thirty), but then as I continued reading you write 'Why?—Because G-d has borne witness between you and the wife of your youth, that you have betrayed her, though she is your companion and the wife of your covenant.”
Sadly, I'm not so learned, wish I had more time, so I might be wrong, but this is the first time I see the blame placed on the man for not appreciating his wife... Which is the majority of the cases that I know.
Its usually the man failing to treasure or even simply appreciate his wife for what she is and does for the children, for the home and for him. I find rare that the women will throw away a good situation unless its almost pikuach nefesh for her and the kids (not saying it never happenes just saying its rare) ( I've seen in halacha mostly a male sided advantage, how little she gets if there is a divorce, how she's the one to leave the home to go back to her parents and how the boys must live with him or that he doesn't get to pay for the chinuch after age 9 or something like that) so its been a bit disturbing. I always wondered, doesn't G-d know its the men who mostly mess up? Why are they so 'priviledged' in halacha?
I'm just sharing with you ... Things that came up as I was reading, still enjoyed it thoroughly.
You can answer if you have time, again, as I'm not as learned as you I might not know enough on the subject...

Re: Unfair
Great points.
Yes, I agree with you, at least in many of the cases. Rabbis must according to Jewish law be vigilant in protecting the rights, feelings, dignity and sensitivity of every single woman.

It is Torah, not Bible
Dear Rabbi Jacobson,
I know that you have international readers, but we do not need to named the greatest book in the World, Hashem Torah as "Hebrew Bible". When Mashiach will come, everyone will know and accept our book and recognize the name Torah.
Thank you. Pesach Kosher V'Sameach.
