Description		    Attesting that a women was divorced in accordance with halakha. The document is dated Sunday, 9 Shevat, 5665 and signed by R. Naftali Reiter, Rabbi of the Dikler congregation, Moses ben Eliezer ha-Kohen, and Reuven ben Zevi. Divorce decrees are destroyed after the Bet Din approves the divorce so that no issues may subsequently be raised on their validity. Instead, rabbis have issued letters to the divorced parties affirming that the process was properly performed, which were then used by the recipient for remarriage.
