When does a brother perform chalitza instead of yibum? Why does the torah use the word v'nitme'ah by a sotah, when there is no touching of a tameh object? Why do the rabbis use the term of kedushin, for a wedding? The torah is divided into issur v'heter, monetary, and tumah v'tehara. Are certain mitzvot a chova or a reshut?
