Noun[edit]
kinyan (plural kinyanim)
- (Judaism) A legal agreement.
- 2001 July 23, BAC...@vms.huji.ac.il, “Need the strictest rabbi I can find.”, in soc.culture.jewish.moderated[1] (Usenet):
- An abstract kinyan has absolutely no validity in halacha. A kinyan has to stipulate how much, what and where. Thus, the Lieberman clause requiring the couple to "accept the authority of the Conservative bet din" is meaningless in halacha and invalid.
