Reb Moishe By A Chalitza

Before the Chalitza shoe is put on

the Yavam, they wash his foot and dry it.

This is done so to make sure there is no 

Chatziza between the foot and the shoe

(E.H. 169:37)

Mori V’rabi Harav Hagaon R.S.Miller Shlita 

said, he had attended a Chalitza where 

R.Moishe Feinstein zt”l. was the Mesader.

It was a fascinating scene to watch  

R. Moishe the Poisek Hador bent over with 

a washcloth and a bowl of water

washing & drying the foot of the Yavam.
