The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Aaron L Raskin’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Music] Mitzvah number 222 is the Mitzvah of divorce this is based on a puzzle in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 24 there it says that if you will not find love or pain grace in the eyes of this woman then the curse of law safer Croesus you then the curse of law safer Croesus you shall write her a bill of divorce the nuts on ba da ha and you shall place it in her hand if you shall call me B sorry and send her away from his house the Rambam goes on to explain that there's no Mitzvah there's no actual obligation that a man should divorce his wife but only in the case where God forbid there's a case of immorality promiscuity in the marriage or abuse promiscuity in the marriage or abuse that one is allowed to divorce his wife and if he so chooses to divorce his wife he's not allowed to simply say goodbye it's over but he must write a bill of divorce furthermore we find when it comes to a ketubah which is the marriage contract here we say you can take a copy from a copy machine and just fill in the names and it's fine when it comes to a names and it's fine when it comes to a divorce I get the law is that the Sofer needs to write the entire get in front of the couple and then the husband gives to get to the wife and the idea of here is to procrastinate and to cause the husband and the wife to think over or what's happening perhaps they can come back together they can reconcile they could work things out because the Torah does not want someone to divorce if God
