What does the Mishnah say about a case where Reuven throws a stone ...
1.
... from his domain into the street and kills someone?
2.
... from the street into his domain and kills someone? Based on the Pasuk in Parshas Shoftim "va'Asher Yavo es Re'ehu ba'Ya'ar", when will he be Chayav and when will he be Patur?
(b)
How does Rebbi Eliezer ben Ya'akov qualify the first of the Tana Kama's rulings?
(c)
Aba Shaul learns from the Torah's example of chopping wood 'Mah Chatavas Eitzim R'shus'. Which basic Halachah does this come to teach us?
(d)
Which three cases does this incorporate?
1)
(a)
The Mishnah rules that - if Reuven throws a stone ...
1.
... from his domain into the street and kills Shimon - he is Chayav Galus.
2.
... from the street into his domain and kills Shimon then, based on the Pasuk in Parshas Shoftim "va'Asher Yavo es Re'ehu ba'Ya'ar" (which we discussed earlier) - he will be Chayav, provided Shimon had permission to be there, but Patur, if he did not.
(b)
Rebbi Eliezer ben Ya'akov qualifies the first of the Tana's rulings - by restricting it to where Shimon was in the stone's path from the moment the stone left Reuven's hand. But if he only entered it after that, Reuven is Patur.
(c)
Aba Shaul learns from the Torah's example of chopping wood 'Mah Chatavas Eitzim R'shus', which teaches us that - Reuven is Patur if he kills (be'Shogeg) whilst performing a Mitzvah ...
(d)
... incorporating a father hitting his son, a Rebbe chastising his Talmid, and a Shali'ach Beis-Din administering Malkos.
2)
(a)
We ask why the Reisha of the Mishnah sentences Shimon to Galus for throwing a stone into the public street, seeing as he is Meizid. What do we add to the initial answer that the Tana is speaking at night-time, seeing as that does not really detract from the Meizid aspect of what he did?
(b)
What problem do we still have ...
1.
... assuming that people tend to use the trash-heap by night to relieve themselves?
2.
... assuming that they don't?
(c)
So how does Rav Papa finally establish the case, to render Reuven Chayav Galus?
2)
(a)
To explain why the Reisha of the Mishnah sentences Shimon to Galus for throwing a stone into the public street, even though he is Meizid, we establish the case where Reuven threw the stone at night-time - and that he threw the stone into a trash-heap.
(b)
The problem with that however, is, assuming that people ...
1.
... tend to use the trash-heap at night to relieve themselves, that - he remains a Meizid and is subject to Misah.
2.
... don't use it for that purpose - then he is an Oneis, and ought to be Patur.
(c)
To render Reuven Chayav Galus, Rav Papa finally establishes the case - where Reuven threw the stone in the day-time, into a trash-heap that is normally used as a bathroom by night, and only rarely by day. In such a case he is neither Meizid, nor Oneis, but Shogeg.
3)
(a)
What does Rebbi Eliezer ben Ya'akov learn from the word "u'Matza" (in the Pasuk "u'Matza es Re'ehu ba'Ya'ar" [Ibid.])?
(b)
What do we learn from the word "u'Matza" (in the Pasuk in B'har "ve'Ish ki Lo Yih'yeh lo Go'el O Hisigah Yado u'Matza K'dei Ge'ulaso")? What is he not permitted to sell in order to redeem a field that he sold?
(c)
What is the discrepancy regarding the two words "u'Matza"?
(d)
How do we resolve the discrepancy, based on "Ya'ar" in our case, and "O Hisigah Yado", in the case in B'har?
3)
(a)
Rebbi Eliezer ben Ya'akov learns from the word "u'Matza" (in the Pasuk "u'Matza es Re'ehu ba'Ya'ar" [Ibid.]) that - Shimon must have been in line with the stone from the moment that Reuven threw it.
(b)
We learn from the word "u'Matza" (in the Pasuk "ve'Ish ki lo Yih'yeh Lo Go'el O Hisigah Yado u'Matza K'dei Ge'ulaso") that - one is not permitted to sell distant fields that he already owns in order to redeem a field that he sold close by.
(c)
The discrepancy between the two words "u'Matza" is that - in our Sugya, "u'Matza" implies 'as it was originally', whereas in the case of redeeming a field, it implies 'a new field', and not that he owned before'.
(d)
We resolve the discrepancy, based on "Ya'ar" in our case - indicating that Shimon, like the forest, was originally there, and "O Hisigah Yado" in B'har - which indicates that he obtained the fields only later.
4)
(a)
What did Rava reply when one of the Rabbanan asked him how Aba Shaul knows that the Pasuk is speaking about chopping wood of R'shus, and not for building a Succah, or for the Mizbe'ach?
(b)
What did Rava reply when Ravina then asked him why our Mishnah then precludes a father hitting his son and a Rebbe hitting his Talmid ... ? Why do we not say there too, that seeing as if the son or the Talmid was learning properly, he would not need to be admonished, now that he is not, there is no Mitzvah to hit him either?
(c)
What do we learn from the Pasuk in Mishlei "Yaser Bincha ve'Yanichecha, ve'Yiten Ma'adanim le'Nafshecha"?
(d)
What did Rava mean when he subsequently declared that he could have given a better answer? What does he learn from the Lashon "va'Asher Yavo es Re'ehu ba'Ya'ar"?
4)
(a)
When one of the Rabbanan asked Rava how Aba Shaul knows that the Pasuk is speaking about chopping wood of R'shus, and not for building a Succah, or for the Mizbe'ach, he answered - that seeing as one can use any wood that one finds for either of these Mitzvos, there is no reason why cutting it should constitute a Mitzvah.
(b)
When Ravina asked Rava why our Mishnah then precludes a father hitting his son and a Rebbe hitting his Talmid ... , from Galus; why do we not say there too, that seeing as if the son or the Talmid was learning properly, he would not need to be admonished, now that he is not, there is no Mitzvah to hit him either?, he replied that - in fact, it is a Mitzvah to hit a son and a Talmid even if they are learning properly ...
(c)
... as we learn from the Pasuk in Mishlei "Yaser Bincha ve'Yanichecha, ve'Yitein Ma'adanim le'Nafshecha".
(d)
When Rava subsequently declared that he could have given a better answer, he meant that - from the Lashon "va'Asher (in the Pasuk "va'Asher Yavo es Re'ehu ba'Ya'ar") one can extrapolate that the Torah is speaking specifically about someone entering the forest voluntarily, to preclude an act that is a Mitzvah.
5)
(a)
Rav Ada bar Ahavah asked Rava whether in the Pasuk in Chukas (in connection with Tum'as Mikdash ve'Kadashav) "ve'Ish Asher Yitma ve'Lo Yischata", "Asher" also speaks specifically about someone who became Tamei voluntarily. Whom would that preclude?
(b)
Why did Rav Ada bar Ahavah object to Rava's initial answer, that the Pasuk there adds "Tamei Yih'yeh" to include a Meis Mitzvah in the Din Of Tum'as Mikdash?
(c)
What does the Tana learn from ...
1.
... "Tamei Yih'yeh"?
2.
... " ... Tum'aso bo"?
(d)
So from where does Rava include a Meis Mitzvah?
5)
(a)
Rav Ada bar Ahavah asked Rava whether in the Pasuk in Chukas (in connection with Tum'as Mikdash ve'Kadashav) "ve'Ish Asher Yitma ve'Lo Yischata", "Asher" also speaks specifically about someone who became Tamei voluntarily, to preclude - a Tamei Meis who performs the Mitzvah of burying his deceased relative, or a Meis Mitzvah).
(b)
Rav Ada bar Ahavah objected to Rava's initial answer, that the Pasuk there adds "Tamei Yiy'heh" to include a Meis Mitzvah in the Din Of Tum'as Mikdash - because the Beraisa learns something else from these words (as we shall now see).
(c)
The Tana learns from ...
1.
... "Tamei Yih'yeh" that - a T'vul-Yom (who has been to Mikveh and is waiting for nightfall) is also included in the Din of Tum'as Mikdash.
2.
... " ... Tum'aso bo" - that a Mechusar Kipurim (who Toveled on the seventh day, and who is now waiting on the eighth day to bring his appropriate Korbanos) is included too.
(d)
In fact, Rava includes a Meis Mitzvah - from the word "Od Tum'aso bo".
8b----------------------------------------8b
6)
(a)
Others cite the dialogue between one of the Rabbanan and Rava in connection with the case that we will now discuss. How does Rebbi Akiva explain the Pasuk in Ki Sisa "be'Charish u've'Katir Tishbos"?
(b)
How much must the crops have grown in the Sh'mitah-year to be forbidden in the eighth?
(c)
Why does Rebbi Akiva decline to ascribe the Pasuk to Shabbos, despite the fact that it begins "Sheishes Yamim Ta'avod"?
(d)
Rebbi Yishmael nevertheless establishes the Pasuk by Shabbos. What does he mean when he says 'Mah Charish R'shus, Af Katzir R'shus'? Why can Charish not pertain to Charish shel Mitzvah?
(e)
What did Rava answer when one of the Rabbanan asked him from where Rebbi Yishmael knows that the Pasuk is not coming to forbid plowing for the production of the Omer harvest (which would be a Mitzvah)?
6)
(a)
Others cite the dialogue between one of the Rabbanan and Rava in connection with the case that we will now discuss. According to Rebbi Akiva, the Pasuk in Ki Sisa "be'Charish u've'Katir Tishbos" refers to - plowing at the end of the sixth year, to prepare the land for the Sh'mitah-year, and reaping in the eighth year ...
(b)
... crops that grew more than a third in the seventh (to teach us that they must be treated with Kedushas Shevi'is).
(c)
Rebbi Akiva declines to ascribe the Pasuk to Shabbos, despite the fact that it begins "Sheishes Yamim Ta'avod" - because he sees no reason why the Torah should pick out specifically plowing and reaping, more than any other Av Melachos.
(d)
Rebbi Yishmael nevertheless establishes the Pasuk by Shabbos. When he says 'Mah Charish R'shus, Af Katzir R'shus", he means that just as plowing can only be voluntary - because there is no such thing as a plowing of Mitzvah, so too, reaping.
(e)
When one of the Rabbanan asked Rava from where Rebbi Yishmael knows that the Pasuk is not coming to forbid plowing for the production of the Omer harvest (which is a Mitzvah) he replied (like he did in the first Lashon) that - since, in order to produce the Omer, one is permitted to sow a field that is already plowed, it cannot be a Mitzvah to plow.
7)
(a)
Like in the previous case, Ravina queries Rava from the case of 'ha'Av ha'Makeh es B'no ... ', and again, Rava answers that it is a Mitzvah to chastise one's son and one's Talmid, even if they are learning well. This time however, Rava overrides his first answer by changing the Hekesh of Ketzirah to Charishah. How does he now learn it?
(b)
How does this answer differ basically from the previous one?
(c)
From where do we in fact, then learn the obligation to reap specifically for the Omer?
(d)
What has Rava now proved?
7)
(a)
Like in the previous case, Ravina queries Rava from the case of 'ha'Av ha'Makeh es B'no ... ', and again, Rava answers that it is a Mitzvah to chastise one's son and one's Talmid, even if they are learning well. This time however, Rava overrides his first answer by changing the Hekesh of Ketzirah to Charishah to - 'just as if one finds a field that is plowed for the Omer, one does not need to plow, so too, if one arley that has been reaped, it is not necessary to reap.
(b)
This answer differs basically from the previous one -inasmuch as it does not rule out the possibility that it is a Mitzvah to plow for the Omer, even though one may sow the barley in a field that is already plowed.
(c)
In fact, we learn the obligation to reap specifically for the Omer - from the Pasuk in Emor u'Ketzartem ... ve'Heivesem" ...
(d)
... from which Rava proves that the Pasuk must be speaking about Ketzirah which is R'shus.
8)
(a)
What does our Mishnah say about a father who kills his son be'Shogeg, and vice-versa?
(b)
What is a Ger Toshav?
(c)
What does the Tana say about ...
1.
... a Yisrael who kills a Ger Toshav?
2.
... a Ger Toshav who kills another Ger Toshav?
8)
(a)
Our Mishnah rules that if a father kills his son be'Shogeg, or vice-versa - he goes into Galus just like anybody else.
(b)
A Ger Toshav is - a Nochri who lives amongst Jews as a Nochri, but who undertakes not to worship idols (and to keep the seven Mitzvos b'nei No'ach).
(c)
The Tana rules that ...
1.
... a Yisrael who kills a Ger Toshav be'Shogeg - does not go into Galus.
2.
... a Ger Toshav who kills another Ger Toshav - does.
9)
(a)
How do we reconcile our Mishnah, which sentences a son who kills his father be'Shogeg to Galus, with the previous Mishnah, which exempts him?
(b)
And how do we reconcile this answer with the Mishnah in Kidushin, which considers teaching one's son a trade a Mitzvah?
9)
(a)
We reconcile our Mishnah, which sentences a son who kills his father be'Shogeg to Galus, with the previous Mishnah, which exempts him - by establishing it by a son who is working for his father as a carpenter's apprentice, and whose father's struck him for poor work, which is not a Mitzvah.
(b)
And to reconcile this answer with the Mishnah in Kidushin, which counts teaching one's son a trade as a Mitzvah - we establish it further by a son who already has a trade.
10)
(a)
How does the Beraisa Darshen the word "Nefesh" (in the Pasuk in Masei, in connection with Galus) "Kol Makeh Nefesh bi'Shegagah"? Which case do we initially think this covers?
(b)
Rav Kahana then reconciles our Mishnah, which sentences a son who kills his father be'Shogeg to Galus, with this Beraisa, by establishing the latter like Rebbi Shimon. What does Rebbi Shimon say about a son who strikes his father be'Meizid? Which punishment does he receive?
(c)
Why does Rebbi Shimon therefore exempt from Galus a son who strikes his father be'Shogeg and kills him?
(d)
According to the Rabbanan, what happens to a son who strikes his father ...
1.
... be'Meizid
2.
... be'Shogeg and kills him?
10)
(a)
The Beraisa Darshen the word "Nefesh" (in the Pasuk in Masei "(in connection with Galus) "Kol Makeh Nefesh bi'Shegagah" - "Nefesh" 'P'rat le'Makeh Aviv' (which we initially think covers even when he killed him).
(b)
Rav Kahana then reconciles our Mishnah, which sentences a son who kills his father be'Shogeg to Galus, with this Beraisa, by establishing the latter like Rebbi Shimon - in whose opinion he will then receive Chenek (which Rebbi Shimon considers more stringent that Hereg).
(c)
And the reason that he therefore exempts from Galus a son who strikes his father be'Shogeg and kills him is - because the Torah only issues the sentence of Galus be'Shogeg to someone who would be Chayav Hereg (death by the sword) be'Meizid, but not someone who is Chayav Chenek.
(d)
According to the Rabbanan, a son who strikes his father be'Meizid ...
1.
... receives - Hereg.
2.
... be'Shogeg and kills him - is Chayav Galus.
11)
(a)
Why, according to Rebbi Shimon, does the son receive Chenek for killing his father be'Meizid, and not Hereg, to which anybody who murders be'Meizid is subject?
(b)
How does Rava interpret the D'rashah of the Beraisa ("Makeh Nefesh", 'P'rat le'Makeh Aviv', in a way that automatically eliminates the Kashya from our Mishnah?
(c)
Why do we require a Pasuk to teach us that a son who strikes his father be'Shogeg is Patur from Galus? On what grounds do we think that he would otherwise be Chayav?
11)
(a)
According to Rebbi Shimon, a son receives Chenek for killing his father and not Hereg, to which anybody who murders be'Meizid is subject - because someone who is Chayav two punishments, receives the more stringent of the two.
(b)
Rava however - confines the D'rashah of the Beraisa (exempting the son from Galus) to where he struck his father without killing him, automatically eliminating the Kashya from our Mishnah, which speaks where he killed him.
(c)
We require a Pasuk to teach us that a son who strikes his father be'Shogeg is Patur from Galus; and the reason ythat he would otherwise be Chayav (even though he did not kill him) - is the fact that the Din of a son who strikes his father is equivalent to that of a murderer be'Meizid, in which case, sriking him be'Shogeg ought to render him a murderer be'Shogeg.
12)
(a)
To explain 'ha'Kol Golin al-Y'dei Yisrael ... ' in our Mishnah, which two people does the Tana in a Beraisa include in the Din of Galus?
(b)
Which other Halachah does a second Beraisa add to that of 'Golin'?
(c)
What do we initially assume that an Eved and a Kuti did to receive Malkos?
(d)
From where do we know that someone receives Malkos for cursing a Yisrael?
12)
(a)
To explain 'ha'Kol Golin al-Y'dei Yisrael ... ' in our Mishnah, the Tana in a Beraisa includes - Eved ve'Kuti.
(b)
A second Beraisa, adds - 'Lokin' to 'Golin'.
(c)
In order to receive Malkos, we initially assume that - the Eved and the Kuti cursed a Yisrael.
(d)
We know that someone receives Malkos for cursing a Yisrael - from a 'Mah ha'Tzad' from Dayan, Nasi and Cheresh, by each of which the Torah specifically writes that one is Chayav for doing so.
13)
(a)
What is the problem with the Beraisa ruling that a Yisrael receives Malkos for cursing a Kuti?
(b)
On what grounds do we reject Rav Acha bar Ya'akov's suggestion that the Malkos of the Beraisa is because the two Yisre'elim who testified against the Eved or the Kuti became Zom'min?
(c)
So how do we finally establish the Beraisa? For what do they receive Malkos?
(d)
And what do we mean when we conclude 've'Lo Makshinan Haka'ah li'Kelalah'?
13)
(a)
The problem with the Beraisa ruling that a Yisrael receives Malkos for cursing a Kuti is - the Pasuk in Mishpatim "ve'Nasi be'Amcha Lo Sa'or", which permits cursing anyone who is not 'Oseh Ma'aseh Amcha' (who does not behave like a Yisrael, and the Kutim, who served idols, did certainly not fall into the category of 'Oseh Ma'aseh Amcha').
(b)
We reject Rav Acha bar Ya'akov's suggestion that the Malkos of the Beraisa is because the two Yisre'elim who testified against the Eved or the Kuti became Zom'min - on the grounds that 'vice-versa' would not then be feasible, since an Eved is not eligible to testify.
(c)
We finally establish the Beraisa - where the Yisrael struck the Eved or the Kuti or vice-versa, a blow that caused less damage than a Shaveh P'rutah, for which one receives Malkos, as Rebbi Ami Amar Rebbi Yochanan taught.
(d)
And when we conclude 've'Lo Makshinan Haka'ah li'Kelalah' - we preclude the opinion in Sanhedrin that exempts striking a Kuti from Malkos, just like one is Patur for cursing him.
