Hasidic ad || Hasidic children suffer in divorce

*From my collection of translated Hasidic Yiddish ads*

This ad takes more cultural translation than language translation, so I'm trying to add that in. It shows how tremendously tragic divorce is in the Hasidic community, where it is permissible but very rare.

**SYNOPSIS**
*The scenes of the rabbi depict the proceedings of a Jewish get, which involves the rabbi instructing the woman to take the divorce document and put it under her arm.* The child of the divorcing couple finds out that the divorce proceedings are held, and in pain, he tries to stop it. The ad evokes pity from the audience, which moves them to financially support the children of divorce.
