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.
