Ruling : The secular regional court has no right to try to undo beit din’s order, as the two courts have equal jurisdiction, and any discrepancy between the two must be resolved by the Supreme Court. The appeal that is before the Supreme Court is surprising, considering that the lawyers for both sides agreed to the temporary freeze.
In general, the secular court’s authority to approve divorce agreements is based on The Law of Monetary Relations Between Spouses, which applies to beit din as well. A divorce agreement, by its nature, is linked to the eventuality of divorce. If the couple no longer agrees on divorce, then it is not enforceable. Since the religious court has exclusive jurisdiction regarding whether there is an obligation of divorce and there has been no decision that there needs to be divorce, the secular court may not give a ruling to carry out the divorce agreement.
There are two elements to the monetary relations between spouses. One is of partners in property. The other is of monetary arrangements that allow for the proper functioning of the family unit. Some of the monetary arrangements, including elements of the ketuba, are matters that the Rabbis did not allow to be tampered with, even by agreement of the sides. Therefore, as part of its jurisdiction over matters related to the viability of the family unit, beit din must be given jurisdiction to rule unless and until there is a decision for divorce. They certainly have the right and obligation to render a temporary restraining order when the basic relationship is directly affected.

Re'e NEVER EXTREME EXCEPT ISRAEL
Parshat Re'eh
Judaism is against extremism, so how can we understand the seemingly extreme statements found in our sages in favor of living in the Land of Israel and against living in Chutz laAretz? The article deals with the seeming contradiction between the strength of Free-Will and the strength of being influenced by our surroundings.
Ekev DANCE FOR ISRAEL- FOR YOUR BENEFIT
Parshat Eikev
Description: The 7 Haftarot we read after Tisha B'Av ("Shiva D'Nichemta") surely get us excited that they're coming TRUE, and awaken us to yearn, dance & join the return to Zion! The short article also deals with the problems and solutions facing the American Jewish community as discussed at a recent panel, as well as the question why Jews come from America to Israel to help when we face problems, but Israelis don't come to aid Jews in America when they face anti-Semitism.
