Sephardic Council of America

First Mission

A copy of: Ketuba, Get and Giyur certificates

The fact is that today, not every Rabbi keeps a copy of the Ketuba, Get certificate, Giyur certificate. There are times when a Rabbi moves to another city and we can not track him and unable to check if the man/woman/couple/Gerim who are standing before us and showing us a 'certificate' that we will not know if it is legit or fake? Unfortunately, there are many cases like these every day.

​

The goal is to create a database where copies of Ketubot, Gitin and Giyurim certificates from Rabbis who are members of this council, will be kept there. In this way we will make sure that certificates from SCA's Rabbis (Sephardic Council of America) are legit and reliable. We will save generations from mixed marriages and Mamzerut.

​

Also, we are in contact with the Israel's Rabbanut institution. A certificate that was given by one of our SCA's Rabbi will be accepted as long as we will have all documents.
