Unique Family Law in the State of Israel
«“This excellent book is not only about the unique family law in Israel, but also gives clarity to the bureaucratic quagmire of the American legal system… In the state of Israel, the unique family law derives from ancient Jewish law, halakhic traditions, and rabbinic legal reception history spanning millennia. This book brilliantly examines Israeli family law in comparison with the U.S. matrimonial laws and connects the dots in international legal systems. The Israeli system is primarily controlled by religious law and granted enforcement powers equivalent to those of the civil courts. This insightful book seeks to clarify the tension and offer solutions. It surely will guide those interested in family law: civil court judges, rabbinical court judges, lawyers, mediators, arbitrators, and families. Cohen exposes not only the weaknesses in Israeli law but other inequities in Western democracies, often with giving practical models to fix the flaws and overhaul dysfunctional procedures.”
