Reply To: Kohen Godol and Chalitza

okay im over my head here.

let me just give the answer as i learned it.

according to Kehati (i think from the Gemorrah, in Sanhedrin) you might think the K’G could not do chalitzah because the wife has to spit towards him which is not befitting the Covod of the K’G. the Mishnah says no, he does it.

btw, i wonder if the spitting is ma’akev?
