In an unusual ruling, the Tel Aviv rabbinical court allowed a divorced woman to remarry to a man who is a Cohen.

The special permission granted earlier this year by Rabbi Zvadya Cohen, the head of the Rabbinical Court of Tel Aviv, which is run by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, is rare because in Orthodox Jewish law, Cohens – descendants of Judaism’s priestly sect – are forbidden to marry divorced woman.
