Hello Everyone,
Today we will begin the second chapter of the tractate Kiddushin. This tractate deals with the laws of marriage, and this chapter focuses on the laws of agency, or proxies. The Gemara opens with an analysis of the laws of agency by asking a simple question: How do we know that an agent takes the place of the person who appoints her? If a woman appoints a woman to represent her at a marriage ceremony, why is the woman who sent this agent married?
That is the question which is the point of our Gemara today.
I look for ward to studying this subject with you.
