Yichud

There should not be man-woman meetings after regular business hours.

It's almost like they're translating the Shulchan Aruch, you know, Yichud and all of these things.

And the answer is because they do recognize, you know, people look at these laws and they say, oh, old-fashioned, primitive, prudish, The truth of the matter is, when we cross boundaries, things can really go out of control.

I mean, this is what the Me Too movement demonstrates.

Number one.

Or because of Yichud, she's going to go and the man's going to be giving her Shuma.

She might go at a time that's not so busy and that might lead to Yichud.

Therefore, it's better that she doesn't go herself to get the Truma.

So that's in terms of Isha.

It's a disgusting thing for a person to do.

So it's important for a person to know that, that even though technically a sister is not one of the Arayot, that there's a desire for, but L'maaseh, it's-- there's enough over there, like you see regarding Yichud, there's an Isur to be Misuyachad with a sister long-term.

So therefore, the interesting, the same similar concept, there's not an Isur, but the Shulchan Aruch and the-- coming from the Ramam says it's Megunah.

But regarding a daughter or a mother, that of course is mutar.

You can't even have Chametz in your house, ba-Yom Ha-Ba Yimatzeh, so you don't come to eat Chametz.

The Issur of Yichud, right, or Negiah, according to the Rambam, is an Issur de-Araysah that is, uh, to Mishum.

Shalo, shalo de Pasuk says, "Lo Sikru Vu L'galos Ervah." Right? Not even to do, uh, to, to, to do what's more in terms of the Ervah.

So there are many examples of Seag de-Araysah, but that Kesef Mishnah is, is one of them.

However, he also quotes, as a Yish Omrim in Hilchot Yibum, the lenient opinion of the Gaonim that we mentioned regarding someone who had a child from a Shivcha Canaanit.

An interesting question discussed by Poskim is whether the Rambam would agree that if the man and wife were recently divorced, but she is forbidden to him when they have Yichud or Bia, for example, if she is a Nida or if he is a Kohen.

Can we still assume that the Bia was not Znut and rather L'shem Kiddushin when it was clearly a forbidden act? The Aruch HaSholchan quotes two opinions as to whether a Yiget is required in this case.

A major question in which this concept of אין אדם עושה בלעתו בלעת זנות plays a central role is the halachic validity of civil marriage.

The problem here is that the Rambam's argument runs afoul of a basic rule of Kalvachomer, called dayo laba min ha-din liyot ka nidon.

Here this means that since we are learning the case of yichud before a get is written, from the case of yichud after it is given, we can only be as machmir in the case we are learning, the ba min ha-din, as we are in the case whose din we already know, the nidon.

Since Yichud, after the Geth is given, only creates a Safek that she needs another Geth, and therefore she is Safek Megureshet until she receives one, how can the Rambam conclude that in our case the Geth is entirely Batel Midoraita? The Magan Mishnah explains that the Rambam doesn't literally mean to learn this din from a Kadachomer.

Rather, he uses the case from Perek Yud as a logical basis for a different rationale in our case.

If even Yichud after Gerushin is meaningful to rebuild a relationship, then it stands to reason that Yichud after Shlichut to write and deliver a get represents an implicit cancellation of that Shlichut on the husband's part.

The Magan Mishnah quotes the opinion of the Ramban, who completely disagrees and believes this get to be valid, except for the concern of piyus, reconciliation, that we encountered earlier in this parakh.

Therefore, he concludes that she has suffocated the Goreshet if the get is written and delivered, and the Shulchan Aruch accepts this view.

Others say putting a baguette over the chassar of the kala.

But the Rambam says Yichud, Haroi, Lubia.

That's what Nisuan is.

How could you have that on Yom Kippur? There's no Yichud, Haroi, Lubia.

There's just exclusion.

It's the Tashbush of Mita.

Sorry? Old people...

Everyone over here, at one point or another in their life, has been inconvenienced by Yichud.

Let's be honest, right? That's...

If you take it seriously.
