The document issued by a Beit Din (Jewish court) identifying an individual as being in contempt of court is called a seiruv in Hebrew, the plural of which is seiruvim. A Beit Din will issue a seiruv to a recalcitrant spouse for failure to address his or her spouse's needs in Beit Din.
 See the List of Seiruvim
ORA is a tax exempt organization and relies heavily on the support of individuals to cotinually advance its mission and provide aid to agunot. Make a donation today and help a woman who has nowhere else to turn.
