Rabbi Sofer and other Rabbonim and Dayanim, couldn’t have been more kind, helpful and supportive.
The Dayan was very understanding at beginning
No sensitivity to my survival of domestic abuse. Complete failure to safeguard me and to support my recovery. No interest in my mental health. Repeated pressure to move civil proceedings into the Beis Din. Weeks and months of no communication.
Go with someone to the Beis Din never go alone they will just bully you and call you names.
Disorganised. We saw the wrong rabbi for our first meeting by mistake amd nearly had to repeat the meeting.
They are not helpful in getting me a Get, i have been seperated for 2 years and they just do nothing, even though my ex applied for a civil divorce almost 2 years ago. That to me, should ensure the Beth Din can make him give me a Get as he clearly wants to divorce me. It's simply a control thing and the Beth Din ensure that it happens.
I had an unpleasant experience with a man who answered the phone when I called to speak to Dayan Steiner. He misunderstood me and he was very aggressive and gruff in the way he communicated, when he was the one who had made a mistake, not me
No women in the process at all. Demeaning. Rude dayanim. One of the eidim was eating his sandwiches during the get.
It was straightforward. Nothing to complain about
That there should be female representatives at the Beis Din for support for the women. That there should be a service in the Beis Din that keeps in regular contact for updates so cases aren’t left behind and untouched.
The rabbis were gentle and respectful
This beit din is committed to making the process of receiving a divorce transparent by spelling out the steps of the process as well as the steps of the actual ritual of the Get to clients.
This beit din recognizes the sensitive nature of the process and things on hand like tissues, and water to drink. The beit din offered breaks during emotional moments, and was sensitive to details such as asking a woman what last name she prefers they use.
This beit din keeps and shares its number of cases, average length it takes to resolve a case, how many seruvim it orders and more.
Do not invite them to smachot, shabbat meals, or events

This beit din has taken time to attend training on the struggles women face as they stand before a beit din. The Dayanim are committed to learning the unique challenges that religious women face in this very male space. We can connect you with a training provider in your area.
This beit din has taken a course in understanding various ways Jewish marriage can be ended beyond the giving of the Get when the need is great.
This beit din has received Get refusal training and recognizes that demanding a price or conditions in exchange for a Get is abuse and does not allow this to occur in its court. This includes insisting custody and finances are sorted before giving the Get.
This beit din works with organizations that advocate for people navigating the divorce process. The beit din communicates freely and regularly with these organizations as well as partners with them to solve cases.
This beit din thinks creatively and strategically, is proactive in resolving cases and looks for solutions and ideas to free women and men being refused a Get.
