Summary

In this rare & anonymous audio-only episode, we sit down with an agunah who has been left in limbo—waiting for a get that almost never came.


Her story includes twists, betrayals, and moments of unexpected strength. But more than anything, it sheds light on what most people in the community don’t see: the day-to-day reality of being chained to someone who won’t let go. Her voice is disguised, but her truth is clear.


This is not just a story of pain—it’s one of resilience, courage, and hope.
