[Heter Meah Rabbanim] Halachic verdict permitting the remarriage of Holocaust Agunim
Remarkable and important document! Original collective Heter Meah Rabbanim – a halachic ruling permitting the remarriage of ALL Holocaust Agunim [for husbands to remarry].
Heter Meah Rabbanim – a ruling allowing husbands to remarry on the condition that there are 100 rabbis who sign and endorse the ruling.
In this specific case, the Heter was to allow for all holocaust survivors who had reasonable claim to assume their wives perished, to remarry even without concrete evidence.
