When Jewish families navigate modern secular institutions, religious requirements often clash with professional protocols - particularly in matters of divorce and circumcision. Rabbi Isaac Klein developed two pioneering correspondence templates that bridge this divide, offering a practical framework for interfaith professional collaboration. The templates consist of standardized letters: one alerting attorneys to inform Jewish clients about religious divorce (Get) requirements alongside civil proceedings, and another guiding physicians on the distinct nature of religious circumcision (Brit Milah) and the importance of rabbinical consultation. Initially implemented by the Buffalo Board of Rabbis and field-tested in Springfield, Massachusetts, these letters create clear channels of communication between religious and secular professionals. The methodology focused on crafting language that would protect religious observance while respecting professional boundaries and jurisdictions. Results demonstrate that proactive interfaith professional dialogue can prevent significant personal hardships for observant Jews while maintaining the integrity of both secular and religious protocols. This cooperative model provides a replicable solution for preserving traditional Jewish practices within contemporary secular frameworks.
