Join Rabbi Heschel Greenberg and dive deep into one of the most intellectually challenging discussions in הלכות יבום וחליצה as we explore the Rambam’s פרק ו הלכה י. This isn’t just ancient Jewish law – it’s a masterclass in talmudic reasoning that reveals profound insights about the hierarchy of מצוות, the nature of קידושין, and the sophisticated logic that governs Jewish legal decision-making. Whether you’re an advanced בעל תשובה, a serious Torah student, or someone fascinated by the intricacies of Jewish legal thought, this shiur will challenge and enlighten you.

In this comprehensive הלכתי analysis, we’ll explore:
– The fundamental דיני יבום and when the obligation applies
– Why certain איסורי לאו and איסורי עשה override the יבום requirement
– The crucial distinction between marriages requiring גט vs. those that are completely void
– The fascinating מחלוקת between competing מצוות עשה
– How the נודע ביהודה and רבי עקיבא איגר resolve apparent contradictions
– The תניא’s mystical perspective on the spiritual mechanics of מצוות

This shiur tackles one of the most sophisticated topics in Jewish law, examining how the Rambam navigates seemingly contradictory biblical obligations. We’ll uncover why some marriages are קידושין תופסין בהן while others have no legal validity whatsoever, and discover the elegant reasoning that has captivated פוסקים for centuries. The discussion reveals not just legal technicalities, but profound insights into the nature of divine commandments and their interaction with human choice and consequence.
