Yevamos 053: Ma'amar
Harold asks:
What is a ma 'amar?
Harold, Cleveland,Ohio, USA
----------------------------------------------
The Kollel replies:
Sholom Rav,
Maamar is the Kidushin that the Rabanan instituted regarding a Yevamah. Min heTorah a Yavam acquires his Yevamah just with Biah (intimacy). But the Rabanan instituted that, just as a man marries a woman only after he has betrothed her, so too, should a Yavam first betroth the Yevamah before performing Biah.
BeVirchas kol tuv
