EIGHT HOURS TO UNITE KNOT
Strange Divorce Ceremony Finally
Separates Mr.. and Mrs.
WoOIf Zacharia.

DES MONIES la, Aug 6.-(Special)-
BY a ceremony that extended through
eight hours, Mr. and Mrs. Woolf Zach
aria were Sunday enthusiastically divorced
by Rabbi II. Zeitzig, says a Des Moines
newspaper 1t was the first Jewish church
divorce that has been consummated in
Des Moines for many years and was wit
messed by some thirty people.
Mrs. Zacharia secured a legal divorce
some weeks ago in the district court of
Polk county. Such divorces, however, are
not recognized by the church, and it was
necessary to appeal to the rabbi for
church separation.
After the custom of the church the de-
cree of divorce was translated into the
Hebrew script. 1t required twelve lines.
neatly printed with a goose quill pen. This
required four hours. The remainder of
the time was consumed by the ceremony.
The decree was signed by the four old
est Hebrews in the synagogue as wit
nesses They were NJ. silverman, Rabbi
Miller, ]. Friedman and Mr.. Kramer The
ceremony began at a. m. and lasted until
4:30 D. m. No intermission was taken for
noon.
Rabbi Zeitzig is the only rabbi west of
Chicago vested with the power to grant
church divorces. After the decree was
translated the ceremony was performed
One of the interesting phases of the
ceremony was the breaking of the mar
riage vows. Mrs Zacharia stood with her
hands together and palms extended up
ward. Rabbi Zeitzig pronounced in Hebrew
the church words of separation. Then the
husband laid the decree in the hands Of
his spouse. With witnesses she retired to
separate room and placed the decree in
her bosom She reappeared with this still
pressed against her heart and announced
publicly that she was satisfied with the
separation and the provisions made for
her by her husband The rabbi then took
the decree from her and 1t was made a
part of the church records.
Mr. Zacharia made ample provision for
the care of his wife and two children
in the settlement in the state court. He
is one of the most prominent Hebrews OF
the city.
