AbstractBook Review: In 1805 R. Solomon Hirschell established the first ongoing Bet Din (Rabbinic Court) in the English speaking world. Two of their Pinkassim (minute books), spanning from 1805 to 1855, which record the decisions of over seven hundred cases related to marriage, divorce and conversion are the subject of Jeremy Pfeffer's ground-breaking research.
