Reply To: Gavrah/ Cheftza

Dear Ben Ephraim.

I chas veshalom would not minimize the contribution of the briskers.
R’ Chaim said that R’ Akiva Eiger had 12 mehalchim in every sugya, and one of them were Gavra Cheftza, and thus we see that R’ Chaim never nade up Tzvei Dinim, rather R’ Chaim’s Chidush was, that he systemized these mehalchim into each and every sugya…

Now, If a person man or woman toivels in a mikvah, is he a chftza or is he still a gavrah??
