1)

(a)We mentioned earlier that Kiymah does not involve a loss of pocket. Why can we not be speaking about a diamond cutter, in which case standing up for someone might be quite costly?

(b)What important Halachah do we extrapolate from the fact that one is not obligated to incur any loss when rising for a Talmid-Chacham?

2)

(a)The Mishnah in Bikurim describes the reaction of the tradesmen to a group of people who would arrive in Yerushalayim with their Bikurim. What did they used to do/declare?

(b)Rebbi Yochanan commented on the Mishnah 'Mipneihem Omdin, Mipnei Talmidei-Chachamim Ein Omdin!' What did Rebbi Yosi bar Avin comment with regard to what we can learn from it?

(c)On what grounds do we reject Rebbi Yosi bar Avin's comment? What might the Chachamim have been afraid of that caused them to issue such a decree?

3)

(a)On what grounds did Rebbi Shimon bar Rebbi once complain to his father about Rebbi Chiya, and on another occasion about bar Kapara (or Rebbi Shmuel bar Rebbi Yosi)?

(b)He based his complaint against Rebbi Chiya on the fact that he had taught him two out of the five Sefarim of Tehilim. And what had he taught bar Kapara, that caused him to be upset with him for not showing him respect?

(c)What was Rebbi's response to his son's accusations? How did he defend those great sages?

(d)If not for that, Rebbi would have agreed that one is obligated to show respect even in a bath-house. How do we reconcile this with what we learned earlier that one is exempt from demonstrating respect in a bathroom or a bathhouse?

4)

(a)We try to prove the distinction between the inner rooms and the outer ones by quoting Rabah bar bar Chanah Amar Rebbi Yochanan. What did he say about thinking about words of Torah? Where is this forbidden?

(b)What do we attempt to prove from Rabah bar bar Chanah's statement?

(c)How do we refute this?

5)

(a)We learned earlier that ...

1. ... "Takum ... v'Yareisa" comes to negate the notion that one may close one's eyes as if one had not seen the Talmid-Chacham approaching. Do we really need a Pasuk to teach us not to be wicked? What is the Pasuk really coming to teach us?

2. ... "Takum v'Hadarta" comes to restrict the obligation to stand up, to where the act will be appreciated. What is the maximum distance that falls into this category?

(b)Abaye qualified this Halachah, confining it to a Talmid rising for a regular Rav, but not for a Rebbi Muvhak (who taught him most of what he knows). At what distance ...

1. ... is a Talmid obligated to stand up for his Rebbi Muvhak?

2. ... would Abaye himself stand up for Rav Yosef?

(c)Where were Rav Mesharshiya and the Rabanan when Abaye rode past on his donkey?

(d)Why did they fail to stand up for their Rebbi Muvhak?

6)

(a)We quoted Rebbi Shimon, who learned from "Zaken v'Yareisa" that a Talmid-Chacham should avoid troubling the community by causing them to rise when he enters. What did Abaye and Rebbi Zeira therefore used to do?

(b)What is the reward for doing this?

(c)What did Rav Yirmiyah from Difti comment to Ravina when a man walked past with his head uncovered?

(d)What did Ravina reply?

7)

(a)We cited earlier the Machlokes whether one is obligated to stand up for a sinful elder (Isi ben Yehudah) or not (the Chachamim). Like whom does Rebbi Yochanan rule?

(b)On what basis would Rebbi Yochanan stand up even for an old Nochri?

(c)What would Rava do in the same case?

8)

(a)Abaye would give a hand to old men. What did Rava used to do?

(b)Rav Nachman would send Guza'i. What are 'Guza'i'?

(c)Why did he do that?

(d)What did Rav Nachman mean when he explained that were it not for Torah, there were many Nachman bar Abas walking around the main street?

9)

(a)On what grounds do we reject the explanation that Abaye would hold out his hand for the old men to support him (in his honor)?

(b)What precedent do we have for that in the Gemara in Yoma?

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

10)

(a)On what basis did Rebbi Ayvu Amar Rebbi Yanai forbid a Talmid-Chacham to stand up for his Rebbi more than twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening?

(b)How do we try to prove Rebbi Yanai wrong from Rebbi Shimon ben Elazar, who expects a Talmid-Chacham to try and avoid forcing the community to stand up?

(c)How do we refute this Kashya?

11)

(a)We learn from the Pasuk in Koheles "v'Tov Lo Yiheyeh la'Rasha v'Lo Ya'arich Yamim k'Tzeil Asher Einenu Yarei mi'Lifnei ha'Elokim", that a Talmid-Chacham who fails to stand up for his Rebbi is called 'a Rasha'. Which other two penalties do we learn from this Pasuk?

(b)Rebbi Elazar concludes that the Pasuk is referring to this sin from the 'Gezeirah-Shavah' "Pnei" "Pnei" ("mi'Lifnei" and "Mipnei Seivah Takum"). On what grounds do we reject the initial 'Gezeirah-Shavah' "Yarei" "Yarei" ("Einenu Yarei" and "v'Yareisa me'Elokecha")? To which two other sins might this refer?

(c)We ask whether a son who is his father's Rebbi is obligated to rise for his father. On what grounds do we refute the proof from Shmuel, who instructed Rav Yehudah to rise for Rav Yechezkel?

(d)Then what was the point in his telling Rav Yehudah to stand up for him (if not to resolve the above She'eilah)? What was the Chidush?

12)

(a)We then ask whether a father is obligated to stand up for his son who is also his Rebbi, and we try to resolve this She'eilah from Rebbi Yehoshua ben Levi. Considering that he was both his son's father and his Rebbi, why did he used to rise for his son?

(b)How do we initially understand his statement 'Ani Eini K'dai La'amod Mipnei Beni Ela Mipnei Kavod Beis Nasi'? What do we then infer from there?

(c)On what grounds do we refute this proof, too? What did Rebbi Yehoshua ben Levi really mean to say?

13)

(a)We ask whether 'Rachuv Ki'Mehalech Dami' or not. What are the ramifications of this She'eilah?

(b)Abaye resolves this She'eilah from a Mishnah in Nega'im. What does the Tana say in ...

1. ... a case where the Metzora was sitting under a tree and the Tahor person was standing still?

2. ... a case where the Metzora was standing and the Tahor person was sitting?

3. ... the latter case, where the Metzora sat down?

(c)What does the Tana mean when he concludes 've'Chen b'Even ha'Menuga'as'? How do we resolve our She'eilah from there?

(d)How do Rebbi Chilkiyah, Rebbi Simon and Rebbi Elazar resolve the She'eilah whether one is obligated to stand up for a Sefer-Torah?

14)

(a)What did Rebbi Ila'i and Rebbi Yakov bar Zavdi do when Rebbi Shimon bar Aba walked past?

(b)The latter objected on two scores. Firstly because he was only a Chaver whereas they were Chachamim. What was the basis of his second objection?

15)

(a)The Torah writes "v'Hibitu Acharei Moshe ad Bo'o ha'Ohelah". Rebbi Ami and Rebbi Yitzchak Nafcha argue whether this refers to Moshe's praise, or whether it is meant derivatively. What would it refer to if it was meant ...

1. ... derogatively?

2. ... as a praise?

(b)The latter is actually based on a set of rulings by Chizkiyah ... Amar Rebbi Avdimi d'Min Cheifah. According to him, one is obligated to stand up when a Chacham arrives within one's four Amos. When is he required to stand up for an Av Beis-Din or a Nasi?

(c)We have already explained that, for a Nasi, one must remain standing until he arrives at his destination. How long must he remain standing for a Chacham or an Av Beis-Din?
