Chief Rabbinate Council sets new financial range for ketubahs
AI summaryThe Israeli Chief Rabbinate Council has approved a new range for the financial sum written into a ketubah, setting a minimum of NIS 36,000 and a maximum of NIS 360,000, and has ordered that marriage-registration procedures be amended accordingly.
