    Chalitzah requires a yavam and a yevamah, neither of whom are pictured. As such, this article has zero educational or news value.

    Is there a Halacha of ppl to be there? What’s the purpose of the note (like an advertisement) and all the Guys being there? If it’s not a Halacha then why do they have to serve people reality vs. Other people’s shame or embarrassment?

    What a bunch of IDIOTS commenting here. Total tipshim and amei haaretz MAMMISH!!

    IT’S A HALACHA IN SHULCHAN ARUCH TO HAVE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE THERE!!

    But not to worry… it’s 2016, and the people commenting on YWN know better than the Mechaber or the Rama. Not that they even know who those two people are.

    Tipshim beyond words.

    It’s really a disgrace that so many of YWN highly educated commentators didn’t know that a ????? is supposed to be announced! Close you’re computers and phones and go to the ??? ????!

    I guess 10:30 is right after shachris.

    Not only are commentators here ignorant in halcha they can’t even read the sign posted here. It clearly states due to HALACHA we announce the following etc. also, you can see the shoe and if you care to observe a bit more, you will notice the woman is standing behind the Mechitza. And as for the man, understandably, it is called “privacy”!
