The 3 types of Pidyon Nefesh

PIDYON NEFESH


1)The original  Pidyon Nefesh (times of Rishonim)
If someone ch"v  had a sick child or his children
died during or shortly after childbirth. The father would 
sell his child to another person. The reason for doing so
was in case the Gezaira was on the father to lose his
children, he was no longer considered the father. 
( a similar concept we do today by adding a name. 

2) The Kabbalistic Pidyon Nefesh mentioned in detail
in Sefer "Yosef Tehilos" (Chida) They take 160 silver 
coins (גמטרי' כסף = חסד)  count 17 of the coins and have 
Kavana for   the שם  אהוה .Then you count 26 have 
Kavana for the שם הויה . This procedure is done a few 
more times with different Kavanos at each count.
Afterwards, all the coins are mixed up again and a
special Tefillah is said.

3) The Chasidic Pidyon Nefesh The Kvittel with the
Bakasha ( Refuah, Zivugim,Parnasa etc.) and the

money which is given to the Tzadik.
