He resided in the home of the saintly Megaleh Amukot, who also taught him hidden aspects of Torah. After a number of years in Cracow, where at a very young age he became famed as a phenomenal gaon and tzaddik, Rav Shabsai moved to Vilna, where there were many established yeshivot. He married the daughter of Harav Binyomin Wolf Tauber, a noted nagid and talmid chacham, son- in- law of the Maharsha and a great grand- daughter of the Rema. After his marriage he was supported by his father- in- law, which assured him the peace of mind to author his vast work, the Sifsei Kohen on Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh De’ah and Choshen Mishpat). His chibbur is crowned with haskamot of many. Gedolim who were astounded by his vast knowledge. The Taz, who was much older, printed his sefer on Shulchan Aruch the same year as the Shach’s sefer appeared, and in various places he argues with him in psak halachah.

He recorded the many tzarot that the Yidden experienced during the period of Tach V’tat in Megaleh Aifa. Remarkably, a number of these sefarim were completed during the years that he was in constant flight. His acclaimed sefer, the Sifsei Kohen, was accepted as dvar Hashem by all poskim after him. He also authored Tokfo Kohen, Gvurot Anashim and Nekudot Hakesef. Eventually, he was asked to serve the esteemed kehillah of Halishi, Moravia.

The basic procedure of the Jewish divorce - - the mutual agreement, the document, the ceremony, and the aftermath. When a man takes a wife and is intimate with her, and it happens that she does not find favor in his eyes because he discovers in her an unseemly matter, and he writes for her a document of severance, gives it into her hand, and sends her away from his house. She leaves his house and goes and marries another man - - Deuteronomy 2. The . This document, commonly known by its Aramaic name, . Without a get, no matter how long the couple is separated, and no matter how many civil documents they may have in their file cabinet, in the eyes of Jewish law the couple is still 1. Marriage is not merely an agreement between two individuals which can be dissolved at will, it is a union of souls. Click here for the text of the get document. The get is written by an expert scribe acting as the husband's agent. Each get is individually tailored to the particular divorcing couple. One of the most important rules governing the writing of the get is the requirement that it be written specifically for the husband and wife who will be using it. This precludes the use of form documents. Although technically the get can be written in any language - - provided it contains the key words and phrases mandated by Jewish law - - the universally accepted Jewish custom is to write it in Aramaic. It is also an age- old tradition for the get to be written in twelve lines (the numerical value of the Hebrew word . The witnesses sign beneath the twelfth line. The Transmission. The entire get procedure is performed in front of a beth din (rabbinical court consisting of three rabbis). Though technically only the presence of the husband, wife, and two witnesses is required to effect the divorce, practically, the get process is so complex that it cannot be done correctly unless done in the presence of experts in the field. In fact, rabbinic law automatically invalidates any get which was not written and transmitted in front of experts. After the document is written by the scribe, the husband hands it to his wife in the presence of two kosher witnesses. At this point the marriage has been dissolved and the beth din will give both parties a certificate confirming their new marital status. Rabbinic law automatically invalidates any get which was not transmitted in front of professionals. On occasion, circumstances prevent the husband and wife from appearing together in a beth din. In such an instance, the husband can appoint an emissary to act in his stead and bring the bill of divorce to his wife. Or, alternatively, the wife can appoint an agent to accept the get on her behalf. The appointment of such an agent is a halachically complex procedure in of itself, and must also be done in the presence of a beth din. A Mutual Agreement. A key requirement in the get process is the complete acquiescence of both parties to the proceedings. This changed approximately 1. German scholar, Rabbi Gershom . The sages were concerned that the previous intimacy and comfort level that they shared with each other can lead them to behavior inappropriate for an unmarried couple. In fact, Jewish law places certain restrictions on the ex- couple from residing together in the same housing complex. That said, the couple is not precluded from remarrying each other; in fact, it is considered to be a special mitzvah to remarry a divorced spouse.
