comment Why are different kaddishes said by different people?
@DoubleAA, I've never been, but such an institution would not have occurred in today's scenario where most shul's share. I will edit to reflect both points.

comment Tefilin - broke left middle finger, and it's now splinted
Gabi, I don't think that is a proof. All the TMY is saying is that it is not a hefsek, but it isn't a requirement. I can theoretically wrap a handkerchief above the knot to hold it in place. In that case, putting on the handkerchief on is not a hefsek (nor is it a requirement) and the wrap around the arm is unnecessary.

all I am saying is that you cannot bring a proof from something which is not a mitzva to something which is.

comment How to fix Mamzeirim
@jutky, re: a- see 5 comments ago. re:b-if the original hava amina is that this tactic does work and in all circumstances. Applying the chidush that it doesn't work to lesser cases is the ideal. But I grant that your way there is less movement between the hava amina and maskana, which is ideal as well. So what I am saying is that pashtus is the reading is like you, I just have a kashye.

@MosheY, I'm surprised that I've never heard this discussed before. I may be missing something obvious!?

So we would reinterpret his words to mean this amount of money? Sounds like a good svara.

If it parallels korbanos, that is the distinction between a neder (I promise a korban) and a nedava (This is a korban).

@DoubleAA, was the intent of the Rabbi to do the trick?

@DoubleAA, The case I mentioned does not have a takana not to throw the get that way.

@DoubleAA, I thought that was implicit from the braisa. Otherwise, according to Rebbi, what is the takana for if there is no restriction to nullify and bediavad the bitul works. Unless you say that he doesn't hold of the gezeira and the tanna only uses a bediavad language of bitlo to learn the chidush of RSb"G. But that's not the simple reading and it is farfetched that he would go against RG hazaken.

@DoubleAA, sorry, you did say shaliach. In G 33a he will be transgressing a takana by being mevatel lechatechila.

@DoubleAA, see my comment on to the OP. The Rosh seems to be the only one to spell this out, but no one seems to say differently.

@DoubleAA, I understood how you are learning. It's certainly plausible, it just doesn't sit well with me that girls will take the chance and cause a takala.

Shmuel Brin, If the Divorcer's intent is not to return, how is that an oneis? Why would we need to apply afkinhu there?

comment How to fix Mamzeirim
@DoubleAA, also, I take back that the simple reading is where the original act was with that intent because that would mean that the uncle-husband was complicit in the relationship. Though I still question how you can have a takala when she doesn't know at the time of the act whether her uncle-husband would do so for her.
