Presentation in PDF format A braita is brought regarding the leftovers of the meal offering which has a similar structure to the braita on Yevamot 39 regarding the mitzva of yibum. On the yibum braita we had two different interpretations. Which one fits better with the meal offering braita. And how can we read the braita according to the other interpretation? What is the connection between inheritance and yibum? Does the brother who does yibum always inherit the dead brother’s property? Does it depend if his father is still alive? Rabbi Yehuda and the rabbis debate this issue. The rabbis forbade one who does chalitza to the relatives of the chalutza and forbade her to his relative, as if they were divorced. Which relatives of each are forbidden to the other? Does this apply to rabbinic relationships that are forbidden?
