Description
We'll analyze the controversy between R' Huna & R' Yochanan re: children who died. R' Huna's P"U exhausts itself in Biah + Layda. We imitate God's creation and by doing so we hasten the coming of Ben-David. R' Yochanan introduces Lasheves Yetzara as a chumra. Although Rava derived a leniency from Sheves and the 3rd generation need not follow the pattern of Briaso shel olam, acc to the Tur, two grandsons or grandaughters suffice, nevertheless, this verse adds a third element to P"U. Biah + Layda is insufficient, Kiyum HaBanim is absolutely required in order to propagate the earth. Acc to Tur, 2 mitzvot are fulfilled: P"R KiBriaso shel Olam with a son + daughter, and Sheves thru grandchildren whatever gender. For Rambam Sheves as defining P"R
