New Yorkers faced hurricane Ida last weekend that caused flooding and casualties, but on the fringes also no small drama regarding the 13-year-old severe divorce refusal affair.
Last Tuesday, the Yad LaIsha organization received an official announcement from the Or Torah Stone network that a refuser had written a divorce to his anchor M. in New York.
This is a particularly difficult case of mooring, as the husband fled to the US and until recently there did not seem to be an optimistic end to the story. Therefore it was decided to make an effort to ensure that he arrives in the country and is handed over to her before the holiday.
In order to provide the divorce until Rosh Hashanah, they approached the woman in an unusual way in WhatsApp groups of American immigrants by word of mouth in an attempt to find out who could bring the divorce to Israel.

It finally turned out that a man named Isaac was expected to arrive in Israel this weekend.
"He promised he would stop the sky if need be, but the divorce would come in time, because everything possible had to be done to allow Aguna."
The divorce was collected and he began his journey to Israel, when a real drama took place near the apartment where the document had been hours earlier.
Hours after the divorce was collected, the hurricane took over New York, and the streets, including the apartment where the divorce was until it was collected, were flooded with rivers of water.
"Isaac said it was a great miracle that they collected the divorce before the storm, otherwise who knows if it would not have been washed away."

This morning (Sunday), the divorce was handed over from lawyer Moriah Dayan immediately to M., the aguna, and she was released, shortly before Rosh Hashanah. The case was also handled by Col. Deborah Brisk from the organization.
