no pictures of the shoe or the special procedure? why not? why bother just showing a picture of a beis din with spectators??
Chalitzah requires a yavam and a yevamah, neither of whom are pictured. As such, this article has zero educational or news value.
Where is the woman?
How can one do chalitza with out one?
I only saw a room full of chasidish guys there.
the poor poor lady, not only did she lose her husband but she has do this with tens of people watching her. if there was halachic reasons for watching it would be one thing but there is none here.
To huhh.
Haloches requires for a crowd.
I’m just wondering why Dayan #4,5 are just ornaments.
there IS halachic reason for many watching it
שולחן ערוך אבן העזר סדר חליצה
סעיף יג
מביאים עוד אנשים שיהיו שם בעת החליצה, ולפחות יהיו ה’, שנמצא עם הדיינים הם עשרה.
הגה: ולכן נוהגין עכשיו שהולכים לחלוץ מיד אחר יציאת בית הכנסת שחרית, דאז איכא רוב עם, והגדול שבהם אומר לחברו ברבים: נלך לחלוץ במקום שקבענו אתמול:
Zero compassion demonstrated, and zero value in these pictures. Feh.
Is there a Halacha of ppl to be there? What’s the purpose of the note (like an advertisement) and all the Guys being there? If it’s not a Halacha then why do they have to serve people reality vs. Other people’s shame or embarrassment?
What a bunch of IDIOTS commenting here. Total tipshim and amei haaretz MAMMISH!!
IT’S A HALACHA IN SHULCHAN ARUCH TO HAVE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE THERE!!
But not to worry… it’s 2016, and the people commenting on YWN know better than the Mechaber or the Rama. Not that they even know who those two people are.
Tipshim beyond words.
to #5 and #7
thanks for the clarification
It’s really a disgrace that so many of YWN highly educated commentators didn’t know that a חליצה is supposed to be announced! Close you’re computers and phones and go to the בית מדרש!
i wish people would make sure they know what they are talking about before they shoot there mouth off with ignorant opinions.
I guess 10:30 is right after shachris.
Not only are commentators here ignorant in halcha they can’t even read the sign posted here. It clearly states due to HALACHA we announce the following etc. also, you can see the shoe and if you care to observe a bit more, you will notice the woman is standing behind the Mechitza. And as for the man, understandably, it is called “privacy”!
