Myer Silber asks:
why dont we make some one in to a Ben Gerushah or Ben Chalutzah
Myer Silber, Monsey New York
The Kollel replies:
Sholom Rav
If we declare the false witnesses a ben Gerushah and a ben Chalutzah, then their children will carry the same title. But since the Torah writes 'Lo'(to him), From which we extrapolate 'but not to his children', we cannot declare thema Ben Gerushah ... '.
Wishing you a good Chanukah and a good Chodesh.
Be'Virchas Kol Tuv.
