(Heter Me'ah Rabbanim)

A Halachic ruling written and signed by R. Saul Moshe Silberman of Tel Aviv (author of Magen Shaul) allowing a resident of Eretz Israel to remarry without first obtaining a Get following his spouse's abandonment of her family in Eretz Israel and running away to America. Apparently, the woman refused to return, although her husband provided her with all necessary travel-papers and funds. The ruling contains an autographed approval signed by both Chief Rabbis of Tel Aviv, R. Shlomo Aharonson and R. Ben Zion Meir Chai Uziel stating that the Get will be deposited with them. Attached, is a further approval by the Beth Din of Jerusalem confirming that they have seen the correspondence between the Rabbis of America and the Chief Rabbinate of Jaffa and are acting as "agents of the Rabbis of previous generations" to exempt the husband from the “Cheirem” of Rabbeinu Gershom prohibiting the marriage of two wives. The Beth Din consisted of R. Tzvi Pesach Frank, R. Y. M. Horowitz, R. Eliyahu Romm, R. Shimshon Aaron Polonsky, Rabbi of Teplik, R. Yitzchak Tzvi Rivlin and R. Shalom Melamed, Rabbi of Uman. Among further signatories are the most prominent Rabbinic scholars of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv including: Chaim Man, Yeshaia Cheshin, Yitzchak Arieli, Samuel Aaron Yudelewitz, Yitzchak Yaakov Wachtfogel, Joseph Dinkeles, Mordecai Huminer, David Brizel, Zev Frank, Abraham Adler, Yisrael Issar Shapiro, Zelig Braverman, et al.
