Illustration for the cover article “Bad Rabbi,” about a Rabbi who tortures fellow congregants to get them to agree to divorce their wives. “The women who came to Mendel Epstein often had a singular problem: their husbands refused to grant them a ‘get,’ a document without which an Orthodox Jewish marriage cannot be dissolved. Without a get, a woman who remarries is considered adulterous. Any children fathered by her new husband are illegitimate under Orthodox law and prohibited from marrying within the faith.” Mixed media, digital.
