R' Isaac Balbin offered some interesting sources on this question. To me, this seems like […]
- [Avodah] Kiddushin and Nisuin September 18, 2025. R' Aryeh Frimer suggested that "eirusin and nissuin were placed back-to-back because of the Crusades", and R' Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer commented: > This makes a lot of sense.
