what did you do today?

i went to a chalitzah today. it was really cool. first this rav flew in from memphis to do it. i guess there aren't that many traveling chalitzah rabbanim. and then they washed the guys foot, and put on this funky leather shoe with straps going around it and some buttons on it, there were 5 rabbanim that were eidim, and the guy and the girl both had to say stuff that they repeated from the rav. there was a little bit of crying, some tissue giving and then the lady takes the shoe off the guy only using her right hand and she throws the shoe to the side and then she spits in front of the eidim ( she had to spit 3 times before they ll saw the spit, she was prettty embarrassed) and then she says another thing and the party is over.
all in all a good time was had by all. they started videotaping it but the guy requested the video be turned off. no lchayim or food afterwards but i just thought it was a reall interesting experience
