And if it's only the son's nickname and you put it at the end, it's going to be kosher.

But he sounds like he holds that if only the father had a kinu, that you should put it after the father's name.

that if there's something unique to the father that's not true about the son, that that's okay to put it after the father's name, and that's in fact what you're supposed to do.

So we hear also the father's a Kohen, the son's not a Kohen, so it makes perfect sense to put it after the father's name.

That's the truth of the Yom Kippur.

So the Yom Kippur says, how would you write a halal's name in a get or a ksuba?

Same exact way you would write a non-halal, a regular Kohen's name.

And people will just have to be wise to the fact that sometimes HaKohen means that the father is a Kohen, and sometimes HaKohen means that they're both Kohanim, and people will have to figure that out on their own.

The Chuvah's Or Sameach, the Or Sameach agrees that if you write HaKohen after the father's name, that it might be going only on the father, and he proves it from a Gemara in today's Davyom, Mizvachim Davkov Aleph.

The Gemara has a machlokas.

When did Pinchas rise to the position of Kohuna?

Was it with the Maisa of Zimri?

Or was it at the end of Sefer Yoshua when Pinchas made shalom between the two and a half shvatim, or after fighting the wars?

They went back and they built a Mizbeach and everyone thought that they were building a Mizbeach lavodazara.

and they were ready to go to the civil war.

And Pinchas said, well, let's at least hear them out.

Let's ask them what's going on.

So Pinchas went and asked them, and they said, no, no, this is a Mizbech Hashem, and we just want our children to know that we're still loyal to HaKadosh Baruch Hu.

And they were able to avert a civil war.

And maybe that's when he earned his kahuna, when he made shalom at that time, at the end of Sefer Yehoshua.
