brew Ceremony : The Case OF b
Burnstine and Wife.
From the Washington Star. 2lst sos,
Yesterday afternoon rather novel re
ligious rite was performed in this city BY
Rabbi Phillips and Rabbi Michier o.
New York, who came here expressly fol
the purpose. Lately there has been con
siderable talk amongst the lsraelites o.
this city in regard to domestic difficulties
in the family Of Mr.. Bernard Burnstine
pawnbroker, Thirteenth street. Mrs
Burnstine alleged i'll treatment on the
part Of her husband, and it is understood
! that her father, BROKERS and her hus-
hand came in collision in consequence oil
these difficulties. Mr.. Burnstine, on his
side. made allegations against his wife,
and altogether affairs got to such an un-
pleasant condition that mutual separa-
ton was deemed advisable.
II had been reported that the service
diyorcing Mr.. and Mrs. B. Burnstine
would take place at the Jewish Synagogue
on 9Th street, about noon yesterday, and
a considerable number of persons as
sembled there, but we're informed that the
services would take place in private, at
the residence Of the parties, about three
o'clock. The Rabbis above named, Mr..
]. s. jacobson, the reader of the congre-
CATION, Mr.. NJ. Mundheim, and few
others assembled at the residence about
o'clock, and articles of enforcement
having been agreed upon were tran
scribed on parchment. The formal sepa-
ration took place about as follows Rabbi
Phillips having taken his position, with
Rabbi Michler and Mr.. jacobson on
either side, the parties were brought In,
and, facing the Rabbis, certain passages
of the Pentateuch were read, as, also, the
enforcement article on the parchment
The wife was then called forward, and
her face uncovered, and her hands were
placed together, the thumbs upward and
extended. Rabbi Phillips asked certain
questions of the husband, which were
answered, and placed the parchment in
his hands, and he advanced toward her,
placing it in her hands, and in turn the
Rabbi took it. Messrs. jacobson and
Mundheim having attested their names
as witnesses to file with the records OF the
church, the ceremony here closed, and
shortly after Mrs. B. left the room.
By this ceremony, founded on Deuter-
onomy xiv, l, 2, 3 and 4, the parties are
separated and free-the husband to mar
nv another at any time, and the wife to
marry after ninety.one days have passed,
but not to descendant Of the tribe of
Levi.
Our civil laws, however, would prohibit |
either party from marrying again, unless
they first obtain q decree of divorce
through the courts.
1t is understood that in the articles of |
enforcement Mrs. B. is well provided for,
and in few days the necessary legal pa
pers will be executed vesting certain |
property in her.
Both the parties are well known in this |
city, and were married in New York |
about six years since, but have no chill
dren.
