How does it help in the case of ketana by chalitza? Either type of kavanah requires da'as, doesn't it?chaim b.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-80844385039000841632011-12-07T08:46:52.298-05:002011-12-07T08:46:52.298-05:00THe chidhushei haran in Chulin quoting the ramban ...THe chidhushei haran in Chulin quoting the ramban (and quoted by the maharatz chayos in chagiga) explains that the machlokes of mtizvos tzrichos kavana by the amoraim has nothing to do with the machlokes of tanaaim in various places about whether specific mitzovs (shechita, tevila, etc) need kavana. The former is kavana WHY you are doing it (to be yotzei the mitzva) and the latter is kavana WHAT you are doing (ie I am shechting an animal, etc). The chiluk is relevant where an action is not only a kiyum hamitzvah but also creates a status (kosher meat, taharah etc). I dont believe that chalitza is mentioned by the Ran explicitly. But it is mistaber that the whole discussion would apply to chalitza that it is the WHAT kavana and not the WHY kavanaanon1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-29182898651948755722011-12-07T05:39:34.343-05:002011-12-07T05:39:34.343-05:00does the ketana here need kavanah to 1) enable the...does the ketana here need kavanah to 1) enable the brother-in-law to do his mitzvah, or 2) to do her own mitzvah of chalitzah, or 3) both? as the need may change, mightn't the answer? <br />for 1), maybe "his kavanah for the kinyan" would suffice for her's (and gadol omed is Not in play); for 2), direct chinuch "al gabov" might be required, & understood to be operative; for 3), we play both<br />sides with a swiveling strobe light...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
