Jerusalem saw the most Jewish divorces of any Israeli city in 2016
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israeli rabbinate reports on divorce figures through its rabbinic courts in 2016, showing that Jerusalem leads the country in real numbers of divorces annually.
That figure doesn’t necessarily reveal much about the health of marriages in the capital, as Jerusalem is also the largest city in Israel by population.
According to the figures, Jerusalem saw 725 divorces filed with the rabbinate in 2016, the same figure as the previous year.
Next in line is Tel Aviv, with 701 in 2016 and 714 in 2015.
The next three: Rishon Lezion with 441, Haifa with 429 and Petah Tikva with 379.
