Parshas Hashavua
The Eibshitzer Get
The Sefer טיב
גטין writes, that in the city of
Ebshitz there was a Get that the Sofer wrote on it “ דיתבא על נהר אייבושיץ” The מהר"ל the
לבוש and the מהר"ו אב"ד קראקא were מתיר the Get.
In Shulchan Aruch E.H. 128:4 it says, that the Minhag is to write next to the
name of the city the name of the river or body of water where the city is
situated at. (not to confuse two cities with same name*) If the Get has the
wrong name of the river, it is Pasul.**
The river in Eibshitz had a name but the Sofer didn’t write its
name.
He wrote instead, “Eibshitz situated at the Eibshitzer River”.
The above Poskim were מתיר the
Get because we find
In this week’s Parsha (Breishis 15:18) The Torah calls it מנהר מצרים
(The Mitzrayim River) and doesn’t call it by its name. We see from here
that not naming the river but just describing the location of the river
is
not considered the wrong name & therefore the Get was Kosher.
* There are two Frankfurts
and are identified by the river 1) Frankfurt de Main 2) Frankfurt de
Oder.
I wonder how
they a Get in London UK since both London UK & London ON (Canada)
have a Thames River.
** R. Moishe Feinstein
zt"l held, that for a Get in Brooklyn we writeדיתבא על נהר איסט ריווער (situated at the River East
River) the word river in East River is part of the name (unlike מים
אחרונים water etc.)

Refuting the Fans of Vashti:

Hello, re. London, ON and London, UK - I believe that one is the Thames River (Ontario) and the other is known as the River Thames (UK). Would that help?
