The Joint Bet Din is the rabbinic court of the Conservative movement. It is responsible for all matters dealing with marriage and divorce. In addition to training and certifying mesaddrei gittin, the Joint Bet Din handles all cases of hafkaat kiddushin and maintains a database of gittin written by our mesaddrei gittin. The Joint Bet Din also serves as a bet din for mediation and arbitration for parties who wish to have their dispute resolved in accordance with halakhah.
Questions may be directed to the Av Bet Din, Rabbi Scott Rosenberg.
