Question

[a - 51 lines; b - 47 lines]


1)
[line 2] NAFIK MINAH CHURVA - destruction will result from it
2)
[line 5] KISUFA - embarrassment, shame

3)
[line 23] CHOLETZES V'LO MISYABEMES (CHALITZAH)
(a) If a married man dies childless, his widow must undergo Yibum (the marriage of a dead man's brother with his wife), as it states in Devarim 25:5-10. Chazal learn from the verses that there is a preference for the oldest brother to perform Yibum.
(b) If the brother chooses not to marry her, he must perform Chalitzah (a procedure in Beis Din that absolves her of the Mitzvah of Yibum - ibid.). He appears before a Beis Din of three and states, "I do not want to marry her," after which his sister-in-law approaches him before the elders, takes off his right sandal and spits in front of him. She then declares, "This is what shall be done to the man who will not build up a family for his brother," and she is then free to marry whomever she wants.
(c) In certain situations (such as that of a doubtful marriage or divorce, like the case in our Mishnah), the woman may not do Yibum, but may do only Chalitzah.
