The International Aguna Day is marked on Ta'anit Esther, the thirteenth of Adar. This year, the thirteenth of Adar falls on Shabbat Parashat Tezave, which is also Shabbat Zakhor, February 23, and the fast itself will take place on Thursday, February 21. Following is a link to a special "Mi she-Berakh" Prayer for Agunot and Mesorvot Get (Women who are Denied a Writ of Divorce), a prayer which will be recited in many Jewish communities on. This prayer was composed by myself several years ago, and has gained wide acceptance within a short time. It was recently published in the monumental "Sefer HaShabbat", edited by Yonadav Kaploun, and issued by Yediot Aharonot (p. 260). Background material concerning the prayer, as well as the Hebrew version of the prayer, is found at the following link: http://www.kolech.com/show.asp?id=57500
