Part 2/2&nbsp;<br /><br />Can you infer what the author is getting at with the "standard"? I believe standard is meant in reference to granting religous Jewish divorces<br /><br />I know you had mentioned this to me in your comments<br /><br />I am getting the paraprhase from the sentences" We hope that one day....and recognizable in Israel" &nbsp; &nbsp;and "we would rrespect the decision...unblemished character"<br /><br />He also mentions Rabbi Joshua as a smith...and how a rabbi chief asked for forgiveness ( I am not sure if this has anything to do w/ the standard or if the author is sayign in so many words "get off your high horse")<br /><br />
