During the time of the Tzemach Tzedek, the third Lubavitcher Rebbe, there were many women who's husbands had abandoned them without giving them a writ of divorce. This left them without their husband and without the ability to remarry. These women are called agunot. This week we read a story about how the Tzemach Tzedek, helped an agunah find her husband.
Also, I will be at the Thin Air Summit, the first New Media Conference in Denver on November 8 & 9th I'd love to see you there.

Goldie's Stories - Episode 7
This week we read a story about the Tzemach Tzedek, the third Lubavitcher Rebbe, and the work he did with the Cantonists and in helping others avoid that fate.
For those who don't already know about the Cantonists there's a bit of an introduction to that period of history at the beginning of the episode.
This story is taken from the book The Third Judge.
