1)

(a)On what grounds do we refute the suggestion ...

1. ... that selling a large animal to a Nochri is forbidden because he may work with it on Shabbos?

2. ... initially that it is forbidden because one might come to lend it or rent it to him?

(b)Rami b'rei de'Rav Yeiva therefore concludes that the prohibition is based on Nisyoni. What is 'Nisyoni'?

(c)What is the punishment for 'Mechamer Achar Behemto' on Shabbos?

2)

(a)Rav Shisha b'rei de'Rav Idi queries Rami b'rei de'Rav Yeiva from a Mishnah later which permits renting a house to a Nochri in Chutz la'Aretz, but not for residential purposes. Why is that?

(b)What does he try to prove from there?

(c)On what grounds do we refute his Kashya? Why might the prohibition apply even if Sechirus is Koneh, based on a Pasuk in Va'eschanan?

3)

(a)What does the Mishnah in T'rumos say about feeding Terumah, in the case of ...

1. ... a Yisrael who hires a cow from a Kohen?

2. ... a Kohen who hires a cow from a Yisrael?

(b)What do we finally prove from there?

(c)From where do we know that She'eilah (borrowing) does not acquire either?

(d)What is now the conclusion of the Sugya? How many reasons do we have to forbid selling a large animal to a Nochri?

4)

(a)Rav Ada permitted the sale of a donkey through an agent. Why was he not afraid of ...

1. ... Nisyoni?

2. ... She'eilah and Sechirus (besides the fact that the agent did not have a mandate to lend or rent out the animal)?

(b)What did Rav Huna reply when Rav Chisda queried his sale of a cow to a Nochri?

(c)How will Rav Huna then explain the Mishnah's prohibition of selling a large animal, even if it is a Kasher animal which people tend to slaughter and eat?

5)

(a)In the Mishnah in Shevi'is, to whom do Beis Shamai forbid the sale of a cow that is designated for plowing?

(b)Why do Beis Hillel then permit it?

(c)Why do we cite this Mishnah?

(d)On what grounds does Rabah (or Rava) reject it? In what way is the Isur of Shevi'is less stringent than Shabbos in this regard?

6)

(a)Abaye counters Rabah's Kashya with a Beraisa (regarding the sale of a field, which, unlike a cow, is subject to 'Shevisah'), where once again, Beis Shamai forbid the sale of a plowed field in the Sh'mitah-year. Why is that?

(b)What do Beis Hillel say?

(c)Rav Ashi cites a Mishnah in Shevi'is, which lists a plow-share and all its accessories among the implements that one may not sell to someone who is suspected of breaking the laws of Sh'mitah. How does this pose a Kashya on Rabah?

7)

(a)What conclusion does Rav Ashi draw from all this?

(b)How do we then justify Beis Hillel's Heter to sell a plowed field to a suspect in the Sh'mitah? Why might one purchase a plowed field if not to sow it?

(c)What then, is the only case out of the above, which is forbidden because there is nothing on which to rely?

8)

(a)What did Rabah reply when Abaye ...

1. ... queried his sale of a donkey to a Yisrael who was suspected of selling such items to Nochrim?

2. ... asked him why he was not concerned that the Yisrael would sell it to a Nochri?

(b)Abaye then queried him from a Beraisa. What does the Tana say about leaving animals with ...

1. ... Nochrim in their inns or handing them to their shepherds? Is there any difference between leaving a male animal with a woman and a female animal with a man, or vice-versa?

2. ... Kutim in their inns or handing them to their shepherds?

(c)Why the difference?

(d)Another Beraisa permits selling a small type of animal to a Kuti, subject to Minhag. What can we infer from that as regards selling him a large animal?

9)

(a)Why does the Tana forbid being alone with a Nochri and giving one's children to him for schooling or to teach them a trade?

(b)What additional reason is there for the latter prohibition?

(c)What is the Din as regards the above with regard to Kutim?

10)

(a)What does the Tana say about ...

1. ... selling a Nochri weapons and their handles?

2. ... sharpening his weapons?

3. ... selling him stocks, fetters and chains?

(b)What is the reason for all these prohibitions?

(c)The Beraisa lists Kutim together with Nochrim in connection with the above prohibitions. Bearing in mind that Kutim are not suspect on murder (as we learned above), what is the reason for this?

(d)What has Abaye proved from this Beraisa?

11)

(a)We try to refute Abaye's Kashya on Rabah however, by differentiating between Kutim and Yisre'elim who are suspect. What distinction might there be between them?

(b)But we repudiate this distinction, with a statement of Rav Nachman Amar Rabah bar Avuhah. What did he say in this matter?

(c)What is the conclusion with regard to Rabah selling the donkey to the suspect Yisrael?

(d)How did Rabah react to this conclusive proof that he had erred?

(e)Did he succeed in catching the purchaser?

12)

(a)What did Rav Dimi bar Aba say about selling to a Jewish robber?

(b)What is the problem with this ruling (Mah Nafshach)?

(c)So how do we establish it?

(d)The Tana Kama in a Beraisa forbids selling a Nochri, shutters. Why is that?

(e)In that case, why is it permitted to sell him wheat and barley, seeing as it too, keeps him alive?

13)

(a)What does 'Yesh Omrim' say regarding the pervious case?

(b)What reason does the second Lashon give for the prohibition?

(c)And what does the Yesh Omrim say to that?

(d)Like whom is the Halacahah?

14)

(a)Rav Ada bar Ahavah forbids selling them thick lumps of iron. Why is that?

(b)How did Rav Z'vid then explain the fact that one is permitted to sell them gardening implements, such as hoes and adzes?

(c)On what grounds did they permit selling all of the above to the Persians?
