1. The Chalitza was done by Rav Blech Shlita.

   Isn’t Chalitza done by a woman?

   I guess you meant that Rav Blech officiated at the Chalitza.

2. Let’s not forget, that while it is an unusual and interesting event, it is by definition part of a tragedy. Unfortunately someone (presumably someone young) has passed from this world without leaving zera shel kayama, and leaving a lonely almanah.

3. Why have you deemed this newsworthy and why are you writing about it? I knew aout the chalitza but I haven’t gone around telling people about it.
   There are certain things that should not be reported. Period.

4. Did this take place Bein Hasdorim? If not why did “Hundreds of Yungerleit ” gather, is there a mitvah to watch a chalitza?

5. While Chalitza is the result of a tragic event, it is a tikkun for the Neshomo of the niftar

6. Vesh-What exactly is your problem-If people know who it is-then they know-and if they don’t-YW didn’t mention any names.

7. You see YW Editor, open the floor for comments and you will never live it down. Thank You for your wonderful website.

8. As interesting as it is to watch, it is a sad affair for the people involved. why was it done publicly?

9. response to VEsh and das balhabays:

   There is a mitzvah to publicize Chalitza as is mashma from Shulchan Aruch

10. I want to say exactly what Abi meleibt & Benuri said both times. what is wrong with it being in public, if it wasn’t then people would suspect that she is not going according to halacha and we don’t wan’t that. Baruch Dayen Haemes. The almanah and everyone else should only see simchas.

11. Please grow up.
