In the latest episode of The Rabbi and the Therapist, hosts Rabbi Shea Hecht and Dr. Bruce Rubenstein welcome guest Joel Yakub—a highly regarded matrimonial attorney—for a revealing and thought-provoking conversation about the complexities of divorce in the Orthodox Jewish community.
From navigating the halachic and legal minefields of custody battles to discussing how divorce impacts children and marriage prospects, Yakub offers honest and unfiltered insights from the front lines. He opens up about the emotional toll divorce takes, the role of communal pressure, and why mediation is often overlooked but vital.
This conversation isn’t just for legal minds—it’s for anyone who values the importance of family, community, and the hard truths behind shalom bayis (marital peace).
