Lomdus On The Amud: Following The Oraysa Schedule ·

2026/10/02

Tosafos on Yevamos 111b makes a fascinating observation: performing chalitzah can be embarrassing for the yavam, particularly because the ceremony requires the woman to spit in front of him.That small comment opens an unexpected question in Hilchos Lashon Hara.If something is completely true — and may even be public knowledge — can merely repeating it still be Lashon Hara because the information itself is embarrassing?Rashi elsewhere describes divorce as something that can be a גנאי for the husband

Yevamos 112a discusses one of the most private claims a woman can make:לא נבעלתי.“We never had relations.”But what happens when that claim comes up years after the marriage is already over?A fascinating case came before the Be’er Sheva Beis Din in 2018.A woman had been widowed from her first husband. She then remarried, eventually divorced her second husband with a get, and later wanted to marry a Kohen.There was one obvious problem:A Kohen cannot marry a גרושה.So she made an extraordinary

What does Rav really mean when he says that a חרשת is “קנויה ומשויירת” — acquired, but with something left over?The Beis Shmuel gives those words a remarkable practical consequence: even after one man marries a חרשת, the Kiddushin of a second man can still take hold. The Aruch HaShulchan explains that there is a שיור in the very קנין itself — something the first husband never acquired, leaving room for a second Kiddushin.But the Rogatchover seems to understand the שיור very differently. He points

Lomdus On The Amud: Following The Oraysa Schedule ·

2026/10/01

Rav drops two remarkably precise descriptions of Rabbinic marriage:חרשת — קנויה ומשויירת.קטנה — קנויה ואינה קנויה.They sound almost identical. They’re not.The Aruch HaShulchan explains that the קטנה may represent an all-or-nothing marriage: if she performs מיאון, the kinyan can disappear entirely; if she does not, it can emerge as a complete Rabbinic kinyan.The Rogatchover then sharpens the other side. A חרשת isn't “maybe married.” Her marriage is real — but משויירת. Something is actually missing

The Gemara gives us Rav and Shmuel — but Rav’s position raises a fascinating question: how can this Kiddushin possibly work?The answer is not one step, but two.We follow Rav carefully and uncover the two separate stages that have to happen for the Kiddushin to take effect. Then, through the Rashba and Chazon Ish, we see why neither stage alone is enough — and how putting the two together suddenly makes Rav’s entire position click.A classic example of a short line in the Gemara hiding a much deeper

Yevamos 110a — Who Has the Power to Undo a Marriage?...

2026/09/30

Yevamos 110a takes us into one of the most powerful concepts in Shas: אפקעינהו רבנן לקידושין מיניה — Chazal uprooted the Kiddushin.But how can Chazal undo a marriage that was valid מן התורה?This shiur develops the central chakirah: Is every Kiddushin inherently created אדעתא דרבנן, giving Chazal control from within the marriage itself? Or did a complete חלות קידושין already take effect, with Chazal possessing an independent power to uproot it afterward?Through Kiddushei Kesef vs. Kiddushei Bi’ah,

The Gemara asks: מיתה מפלת או נישואין הראשונים מפילין.Rav Soloveitchik points out that נישואין הראשונים מפילין is extremely difficult to understand.How can the marriage itself be the cause of yibum?Those very נישואין are what create the issur of אשת אח. Before she married his brother, she was permitted to the future yavam. The marriage is what makes her assur.So how can the same marriage that creates the issur also be what creates the future נפילה to yibum?Rav Soloveitchik explains that yibum must

If mi’un uproots a marriage retroactively — תעקרינהו לנישואין קמאי — an obvious and powerful question emerges: if she is now treated as though she was never married, what was the status of all the relations she had with her husband? Shouldn’t every bi’ah retroactively become a ביאת זנות?The answer brings us to a famous yesod of Rav Chaim Brisker: מיאון works מכאן ולהבא למפרע — “from now on, retroactively.”Mi’un does not reveal that the marriage was fake or invalid from the beginning. Until the

2026/09/16

What exactly must the yavam and yevamah have in mind when performing chalitzah?The sugya on Yevamos 106a says that chalitzah requires the kavanah of both parties—but the Acharonim debate what kind of kavanah this actually is.The Chacham Tzvi and Minchas Chinuch explore whether chalitzah requires the type of da’as needed to create a kinyan and a halachic chalos. The Beis Meir, Sho’el U’Meishiv, and Ketzos challenge that approach and raise the possibility that the requirement is one of kavanat

Yevamos 105b — הפוסל במומו פוסל: The Avdan Principle

Lomdus On The Amud: Following The Oraysa Schedule ·

2026/09/16

In Yevamos 105b, the dramatic encounter between Avdan and רבי ישמעאל ברבי יוסי becomes the basis for a powerful yesod in tochachah, lashon hara, and judging others. Why was Avdan punished only after he himself stepped through the talmidim—the very behavior for which he had just criticized רבי ישמעאל? The Chafetz Chaim connects this to the remarkable case of Yehu, who was commanded by Hashem to destroy the house of Achav, yet was later held accountable after he himself became connected to the same

Yevamos 105a | Two Types of TeshuvaWhat makes the ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur so unique? The Rambam discusses Aseres Yemei Teshuva in two separate places — first describing a time when teshuva is accepted immediately, and later describing the shofar’s call to “wake up” and examine our lives.Why does the Rambam separate these two ideas?Based on an insight of Rav Soloveitchik, we explore two fundamentally different forms of teshuva: teshuva for a specific sin that we already

The Gemara teaches that even when the verbal recitation of Chalitzah is not essential, the Yavam and Yevamah still have to be capable of saying it. But what happens when someone can speak perfectly well — and simply cannot hear?A fascinating discussion in the Rashash and Ramban may reveal two very different reasons why this is a problem. Is the issue that the person is not considered capable of performing the Kriah, or is there a separate requirement for Beis Din to teach them what to say?An

Yevamos 104a — The Yavam Who Claimed He Was Left-Footed

2026/09/10

A real case from the Noda BiYehuda: after chalitzah was performed on his right foot, a yavam suddenly claimed he was actually left-footed — and that he had hidden it on purpose. Could that invalidate the chalitzah and trap the widow again? A fascinating real-life application of the sugya of איטר רגל.

Can the Mossad use a “honey trap” according to halacha?

The proposed heter triggered fierce opposition from leading poskim. In this episode, we examine a second side of the lomdus: perhaps Chalitzah is not simply a collection of actions that can be delegated at all. Unlike an ordinary mitzvah or transaction, Chalitzah may require a personal encounter between the Yavam and Yevamah before Beis Din. We explore how the definition of Chalitzah itself determines whether the entire concept of shlichus can ever apply.
