    Yibbum
    In the Maharsha's explanation of the exchange between Ploni (Tov) and Boaz, he mentions that Boaz should go ahead as he would not have children as he was old. Wouldn't that defeat the perpose of Yibbum? In other words are the laws of Yibbum applicable to someone who can't have children (aside from the issues of such a man marrying in the first place)? Thanks

    Question on Megillat Ruth
    Thank you Rabbi Jacobson for the amazing, thought provoking class.

    I am teaching Megillat Ruth.  During the 4th lesson after discussing  Moavite- referring to a male and not a female, a female can marry into the Jewish nation,   We learned the resources, Why they can't marry?

    Because they did not greet you with bread and water,  indicative of the Moavite character traits, I was asked this question;  Why does the Torah allow the woman to  marry into the Jewish people, when it is the woman who transmits Judaism to the family?  

    I look forward to your response.

    Do you answer this in the next classes?

    Hashem has a plan for the seed of Moshiach to be born. The nation of Moav was saved for this purpose, for Ruth?

    Rashi
    Rabbi Jacobson! Your shiurim are great!! I have one question. Why does Rashi write about the Amoni and not the Moavi?  Wouldn't it be more appopriate to give the example of the Moavi. or at least to write both?
