Description

Why were mishnayot written with brevity? Who is a sotah vadai and sotah safek? What is the difference between yichud and steira? What did the bas kol tell Acher? What is the difference between sadei achuza and sadei mikneh? In what cases does one perform chaleitza, even though one cannot perform yeibum? Is that chaleitza rabbinic or biblical? Why is the word "tameh" used by a adulterer? A repeat adulterer is always liable for punishment. Which mitzvah has priority- yeibum or chalitza? Do sefardim peform yeibum today? Until what time did the Cherem of Rabeinu Gershom apply? Should one divorce a barren woman? Zika in yebum. Cumash-Beshalach: Zeh Keili V'anveihu- a mitzvah is God's messenger, and by beautifying a mitzvah, one beautifies God.
