1)

(a)What does the Tana mean when it writes (after telling us about the prohibition of supporting a pot with a block if wood) 'and the same applies to a door'? How do we emend the Mishnah?

(b)Why do we reject the initial text?

(c)Which Tana permits using a block of wood for these purposes?

(d)What is the basis of their Machlokes?

(e)Rebbi Elazar b'Rebbi Shimon permits leading an animal with a stick. Does that mean that he and his father are of the same opinion here (i.e. that the stick is not Muktzeh and therefore permitted)?

2)

(a)'Chizra' is a stick is as sharp as a thorn. Why does Rav Nachman forbid it to be used as a spit-rod on Yom-Tov?

(b)Why does Rav Sheishes then permit it?

(c)Why ...

1. ... in the first Lashon, does even Rav Sheishes concede that a wet Chizra may not be used?

2. ... in the second Lashon (where Rav Nachman concedes that a dry Chizra is permitted) does Rav Sheishes permit even a wet one?

3)

(a)What do we finally rule?

(b)On what grounds do we override ...

1. ... this ruling?

2. ... the stringent ruling (on the previous Daf) with regard to Madurta, Bei'asa, Kedeirah, Purya and Chavita?

(c)How do we explain the Amora'im's stringent ruling in all these cases?

4)

(a)Rava Darshened that a woman may not enter a wood-store to fetch a fire-brand (to stoke a fire). Why is that?

(b)What did he also Darshen regarding a fire-brand that breaks on Yom-Tov?

(c)What is the source of these rulings? Like whom does Rava hold with regard to Muktzeh?

5)

(a)Rava instructed his servant to roast him a goose and to throw the intestines to his cat. Why ought the intestines to have been Muktzeh?

(b)How do we then resolve the problem?

6)

(a)What does Rebbi Eliezer in our Mishnah rule with regard to ...

1. ... taking a splinter of wood on Yom-Tov?

2. ... collecting splinters from the courtyard?

(b)The Rabanan disagree with Rebbi Eliezer in two points. What do they say with regard to taking a splinter of wood ...

1. ... from the courtyard to make a fire?

2. ... from wood that is lying in one's house, to pick one's teeth?

(c)Seeing as R. Eliezer permits taking the splinter of wood to pick his teeth even from the courtyard, why does he use the term 'from in front of him' (with reference to the house)?

(d)What does the Tana say about producing fire from wood, stones earth or water, on Yom-Tov?

33b----------------------------------------33b

7)

(a)Rav Yehudah maintains that there is no 'Tikun Kli' by animal food. What does this mean in practical terms?

(b)Rav Kahana however, queries him from a Beraisa. What does the Tana say about ...

1. ... moving Besamim wood and waving it in front of a sick person?

2. ... rolling it in one's hand in order to produce a pleasant aroma on Yom-Tov?

(c)Why does the Tana then forbid breaking them for the same purpose?

8)

(a)How does Rav Yehudah now reconcile his opinion (which permits Tikun Kli by animal food) with this Beraisa, which even speaks about being Chayav Chatas?

(b)If we are talking about hard Besamim, then what is the point of rolling them in one's hand?

9)

(a)We just explained that one may not break hard Besamim-wood to smell, in case one comes to do so to make a tooth-pick. Why is one Chayav for breaking the wood for a tooth-pick, and not for breaking it to smell?

(b)Rebbi Zeira quoting Rav Chisda reconciles two other Beraisos in the same way. How will we then explain the Mishnah in Shabbos, which permits breaking open a barrel haphazardly to obtain the dried figs inside it, ignoring the possibility that one may come to make a neat opening, for which he will be Chayav Chatas?

(c)What did Rav Yehudah used to do with large pieces of spice-wood which adds to the Kashya on Rav Yehudah and Rebbi Zeira quoting Rav Chisda?

10)

(a)We resolved the above problems by introducing a Machlokes between Rebbi Eliezer and the Rabanan. What does Rebbi Eliezer hold with regard to someone who breaks a splinter off a large piece of wood to form a tooth-pick ...

1. ... on Shabbos b'Shogeg?

2. ... on Yom-Tov b'Meizid?

(b)What do the Rabanan say? Why do they not consider this a proper Tikun Kli?

(c)How does this Machlokes now resolve our problems?

11)

(a)Rebbi Eliezer decrees wherever one's actions could lead to a Chiyuv Chatas. Does this mean that he will disagree with the Mishnah, which permits breaking a barrel haphazardly to obtain the dried figs inside it, and which does not decree that one may come to make a neat opening?

12)

(a)Rebbi Shimon permits collecting wood from the courtyard (to use as fuel), even if one piles it up into heaps in the process. Why do the Rabanan forbid it?

(b)Why does Rebbi Shimon then permit it?

(c)Our Mishnah forbids heating tiles (for cooking purposes) on Yom-Tov. Rabah bar bar Chanah gives the reason for this as 'Mipnei she'Tzarich l'Badkan'. What does this mean?

(d)Others say 'Mipnei she'Tzarich l'Chasman'. What does that mean?
