1)

(a)To which two animals does the prohibition of 'Oso ve'es B'no' apply?

(b)Why not to the father?

(c)Based on which principle does it apply even in Chutz la'Aretz?

(d)Then why does the Mishnah see fit to mention it?

2)

(a)The Tana now teaches us that 'Oso ve'es B'no' applies even when the Beis-ha'Mikdash is not standing. Why might we have thought otherwise?

(b)He also teaches us that it applies both to Chulin and to Mukdashin. Which of the two animals is Hekdesh?

(c)From where do we know that it applies even to Mukdashin?

3)

(a)The Mishnah now goes into detail. The first case it discusses is someone who Shechts 'Oso ve'es B'no' Chulin ba'Chutz. What does 'ba'Chutz' mean?

(b)What punishment does he receive for Shechting the second one?

(c)Is one allowed to eat it?

(d)Why does the Mishnah see fit to mention it (Sh'neihem Kesheirim')?

4)

(a)In the previous ruling, does it make a difference as to which one one Shechts first?

(b)From where do we know this?

(c)What if somebody else performs the second Shechitah?

5)

(a)Next the Tana discusses a case where one Shechts both animals 'Kodshim ba'Chutz'. For the first one, he receives Malkos (because of Shechutei Chutz). What punishment will he receive for Shechting the second one?

(b)Why is the second one not subject to Kareis (on account of Shechutei Chutz)?

(c)How does he learn it from the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos (in connection with Shechutei Chutz) "ve'el Pesach Ohel Mo'ed Lo Hevi'o"?

(d)How does he define the status of both animals ...

1. ... in the current case?

2. ... in a case where both are Shechted 'Chulin bi'Fenim'?

6)

(a)In the latter case, on what basis is the Shochet Chayav Malkos for Shechting ...

1. ... the first animal?

2. ... the second one?

(b)Why not for Shechutei Chutz?

(c)Which Asei (in Re'ei) has he transgressed?

7)

(a)Now the Tana discusses someone who Shechts the two animals Kodshim bi'Fenim. What does he say about ...

1. ... the Shochet of the first one?

2. ... the Korban's status?

(b)What punishment will he receive for Shechting the second one?

8)

(a)The Tana now discusses cases where the Shochet Shechts one of the animals inside and the other one, outside, specifically in the order that he presents them. In the case of 'Chulin ve'Kodshim ba'Chutz', the first animal is Kasher and the Shochet is Patur. What is the Din regarding the second one?

(b)In the reverse case of 'Kodshim ve'Chulin ba'Chutz', the Shochet is Chayav Kareis for the first one and the animal is Pasul. What is the Din regarding the second one?

(c)For which one does the Shochet receive Malkos?

(d)Next on the Tana's list is Chulin ve'Kodshim bi'Fenim, where both animals are Pasul. Which one is subject to Malkos?

(e)In the reverse case 'Kodshim ve'Chulin bi'Fenim', Kodshim ve'Chulin bi'Fenim, the first animal is Kasher and the Shochet, Patur. What is the Din with regard to the second one?

9)

(a)In the case of 'Chulin ba'Chutz u'bi'Fenim', the first animal is Kasher and the Shochet, Patur. What is the Din with regard to the second one?

(b)In the equivalent case by Kodshim ('ba'Chutz u'bi'Fenim'), the first one is Chayav Kareis and both animals are Pasul. For which one does the Shochet receive Malkos?

(c)In the final set of cases, 'Chulin bi'Fenim u'va'Chutz', the first one is Pasul and the owner Patur. What is the Din regarding the second one?

(d)In the equivalent case by Kodshim ('bi'Fenim u'ba'Chutz'), the first one is Kasher and the Shochet, Patur. What is the equivalent Din by the second one?

(e)Why is he not Chayav Malkos for Shochet Kodshim ba'Chutz?

10)

(a)The first three cases on the Tana's next list (in connection with 'Oso ve'es B'no') are 'Someone who Shechts and the animal is found to be a T'reifah, someone who Shechts to Avodah-Zarah and someone who Shechts a Parah Adumah'. What do they all have in common?

(b)The last two cases are 'Someone who Shechts a Shor ha'Niskal or an Eglah Arufah'. For the Shor ha'Niskal to be included in this list, at which stage must one Shecht it?

(c)What does the Tana hold with regard to the Eglah Arufah for it to be included in the list?

11)

(a)Based on which principle does Rebbi Shimon rule, in all of the above cases, that the Shochet is Patur from Malkos?

(b)What do the Chachamim say?

(c)What does the Gemara conclude with regard to the cases of Shor ha'Niskal and Eglah Arufah?

(d)Like whom is the Halachah?

12)

(a)In the case of ha'Shochet la'Avodah-Zarah, the Chachamim rule that the Shochet is Chayav only if he Shechts the first animal to Avodah-Zarah. Why not if it is the second one?

(b)On what principle is this based?

(c)On what condition will he nevertheless be Chayav Malkos even in that case?

13)

(a)What does the Mishnah say about someone who, in a case of 'Oso ve'es B'no', inadvertently (See Tosfos Yom Tov) renders either the mother or the baby a Neveilah (See Tiferes Yisrael)?

(b)The same applies to 'Nocher' and 'Me'aker'. What is ...

1. ... 'Nocher'?

2. ... 'Me'aker'?

(c)On what grounds do the Chachamim agree with these rulings?

14)

(a)The Mishnah rules that if two people purchase, one a cow, the other, its calf, the first purchaser has the right to Shecht first. What is the basis of this ruling?

(b)What is the status of the Shechitah, in the event that the second person Shechts first?

(c)How many sets of Malkos will a Shochet receive, if he Shechts first ...

1. ... the mother, and then her two babies on the same day?

2. ... the two babies, and then, the mother?

3. ... the mother, then its daughter and then its granddaughter?

15)

(a)According to the Tana Kama, if someone Shechts the mother, the granddaughter and then its daughter, he receives one set of Malkos. Why is that?

(b)Why then, according to Sumchus in the name of Rebbi Meir, does he receives two sets of Malkos?

(c)With which of the previous cases does Sumchus also argue?

(d)What does the Tosefta, citing Sumchus, say about someone who Shechts a mother and five babies on the same day?

16)

(a)On how many occasions during the year does the Tana Kama obligate someone who sells an animal to inform the purchaser that he sold the animal's mother or baby earlier that day?

(b)Two of those dates are Erev Shemini Atzeres and Erev, Pesach. What are the other two?

(c)Why specifically Erev Shemini Atzeres?

(d)Why does he not also include Erev Succos?

17)

(a)Which fifth date does Rebbi Yossi ha'Gelili add to the Tana Kama's list in Galil?

(b)Why specifically in Galil?

(c)Rebbi Yehudah confines the obligation to inform the purchaser to where there is no 'Revach', which some explain to mean that both animals are sold on the same day, but not if there is a day in between. How do others explain it?

(d)Like whom is the Halachah?

18)

(a)In connection with Rebbi Yehudah's previous ruling, what does the Tana say about where the seller is selling the mother to a Chasan and the baby to the Kalah?

(b)What if it is the other way round?

(c)Why is that?

(d)Either way, what is the reason for this ruling?

Mishnah 4
Hear the Mishnah

19)

(a)What does the Tana mean when he says that on the four above-mentioned days one forces the butcher to Shecht against his will?

(b)The example the Mishnah gives is where the single purchaser only wants a Dinar's worth of meat. How much is the animal worth?

(c)Bearing in mind that the Mishnah is speaking where the purchaser already paid the Dinar, what is the reason for the ruling?

(d)How might this ruling prove detrimental to the purchaser?

20)

(a)On any other day of the year however, the seller is not forced to have his animal Shechted (because money does not acquire). What are the side ramifications of this Din in a case where the few purchasers, who have already paid, do not make the Shechitah worthwhile?

(b)Why did the Chachamim otherwise institute that money should not acquire, only Meshichah?

Mishnah 5
Hear the Mishnah

21)

(a)When does the twenty-four hour period between the Shechitah of the mother and the baby begin?

(b)Next to which Parshah in Emor is 'Oso ve'es B'no' juxtaposed, that would have led us to believe otherwise?

(c)Based on the fact that the Torah uses the words "Yom Echad", how do we know that the day regarding 'Oso ve'es B'no' begins with the advent of night (not like that of Kodshim)?
