1)

(a)When, in the Mishnah in Chalah currently under discussion, the Tana rules 'Chalaso Teluyah', he is not referring to a standard Safek. Why not?

(b)What would be an example of a standard Safek?

(c)Based on a Mishnah in Zavin (in connection with a Zav and a Tahor) what Safek is he then talking about?

2)

(a)What does the Mishnah in Zavin say about a Tahor who is loading or unloading from a donkey together with a Zav, assuming that the load is ...

1. ... heavy?

2. ... light?

(b)What does the Tana mean when he states 've'Chulan Tehorin li'Venei ha'Keneses'? Who are the 'B'nei ha'Keneses'?

(c)Why is that?

(d)When then is it Tamei?

(e)What is the source for this Tum'ah?

3)

(a)We query the current assumption that Chulin ha'Tevulin le'Chalah is considered Chalah, from a Beraisa, which discusses a woman who is a T'vulas-Yom who is kneading dough. What degree of Tum'ah is a T'vul-Yom?

(b)Under what circumstances does the Tana permit her to separate Chalah from the dough?

(c)What is the significance of the Kefishah or the Anchusa (Keilim that have no inside (possibly a form of board) and which are not therefore subject to Tum'ah) on which she places it?

(d)What must she still do before declaring it Chalah?

4)

(a)Why did the T'vulas-Yom not render the Chalah Tamei when she separated it and placed it in the K'li?

(b)What problem do we have with this, according to our assumption that Chulin ha'Tevulin le'Chalah has a Din of Chalah?

(c)What do we answer? Why did the Chachamim not decree here on Safek Tum'ah of Chulin ha'Tevulin le'Chalah?

5)

(a)We query this from Rav Shmuel bar Rav Yitzchak (on the previous Amud) however, who precluded Chulin She'Na'asu al Taharas T'rumah from the Din of Me'es Le'es she'be'Nidah. What difficulty does this create with what we just said? How do we initially categorize Chulin ha'Tevulin le'Chulin?

(b)To answer the Kashya, how do we differentiate between the two cases?

(c)What alternative answer do we give, even assuming that there is no difference between Chulin ha'Tevulin le'Chalah and Chulin she'Na'asu al Taharas T'rumah?

6)

(a)We learned in the Mishnah 'Rebbi Eliezer Omer, Arba Nashim Dayan Sha'atan ... '. Which one of these did Rebbi Yehoshua hear from his Rebbes?

(b)What does he nevertheless say with regard to Rebbi Eliezer's opinion?

(c)How does the Mishnah go on to define ...

1. ... a Besulah?

2. ... a Me'uberes?

3. ... a Menikah?

4. ... a Zekeinah?

7)

(a)Rebbi Meir holds that if a Menikah gives her baby to a nurse, she reverts to the Din of Me'es Le'es. What if she weans him prematurely or if the baby dies?

(b)What do the Chachamim say?

(c)What does ...

1. ... Rebbi Eliezer (or Rebbi Elazar) say about any woman who skips three Onos?

2. ... Rebbi Yossi say about a Me'uberes or a Menikah who skips three Onos?

(d)For how long does the Din of Dayah Sha'atah regarding the four women apply?

7b----------------------------------------7b

8)

(a)We learned in our Mishnah that Rebbi Yehoshua only heard the Halachah of Dayan Sha'atan with regard to a Besulah. What did Rebbi Eliezer comment on this (in connection with someone who did and someone who did not, see the new moon on Rosh Chodesh)?

(b)In spite of the fact that Rebbi Yehoshua ruled like Rebbi Eliezer, they insisted on following Rebbi Yehoshua's opinion, as long as Rebbi Eliezer was alive. Why was that?

(c)Then why did Rebbi Yehoshua reinstate the Halachah like Rebbi Eliezer after the latter's death?

(d)On what grounds did they not rule like Rebbi Eliezer in all four cases?

9)

(a)Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel disagrees with the above. What does he say?

(b)The first of the remaining three cases concerns a Yoledes who gives birth during the period of Zivus immediately after seeing three consecutive days, in which case she is not a Zavah. Why not?

(c)Under what condition would she be considered a Yoledes be'Zov (with the Chumros of both), in spite of the birth?

(d)How does Rebbi Eliezer qualify that?

10)

(a)The second case concerns a Zav or a Zavah who has just had three consecutive sightings, and who now requires seven clean days. What does Rebbi Eliezer say about a case where they only examined themselves on the first and seventh days?

(b)According to Rebbi Yehoshua, they only have two days (the first and the seventh) to their credit. What does Rebbi Akiva say?

(c)Rebbi Akiva's reason is because if they had a sighting during the five middle days, it would negate the first day. How will Rebbi Yehoshua counter that?

(d)Rebbi Shimon and Rebbi Yossi in a Beraisa, who actually rule like Rebbi Eliezer, agree on principle with Rebbi Akiva (as against Rebbi Eliezer). On what grounds do they prefer Rebbi Eliezer's opinion to that of Rebbi Yehoshua?

11)

(a)The third case of Rebbi Eliezer is the Mishnah in Taharos, where he rules that the back of Keilim which became Tamei through contact with a liquid renders liquids Tamei, whereas food, it does not even render Pasul. What is the difference between Tamei and Pasul?

(b)What clause does he add to the phrase ...

1. ... 'Metam'in es ha'Mashkin'?

2. ... 'Ein Poslin es ha'Ochlin'?

(c)What does Rebbi Yehoshua say?

(d)What 'Kal-va'Chomer does Rebbi Yehoshua Darshen, based on the fact that whereas a T'vul-Yom is not Metamei Chulin liquids, the back of Keilim is?

12)

(a)How does Rebbi Eliezer counter that? What major distinction between the back of Keilim and a T'vul-Yom creates a Pircha on the 'Kal va'Chomer'?

(b)Why did the Chachamim differentiate between the back of a K'li and the inside? Why does the former not automatically render the latter Tamei, too?

(c)On what grounds is liquid that touched the back of a K'li mi'de'Rabbanan?

(d)Why did the Rabbanan decree ...

1. ... that liquids should render a K'li Tamei?

2. ... that liquid that touches the back of a K'li should become Tamei, but not food?

13)

(a)Seeing as liquid that touches the inside of a K'li renders Tamei mi'de'Rabbanan too, why does Rebbi Eliezer mention specifically the back of Keilim (to differentiate between liquid and food)? Why not the inside?

(b)This answer is based on a Mishnah in Keilim. What does the Tana there say about ...

1. ... the inside, the ear (with which one suspends the K'li), the rim and the handles of a K'li, whose outside became Tamei through liquid?

2. ... the entire K'li, whose inside became Tamei?

(c)In most of the above cases, the Mishnah or Beraisa rules explicitly like Rebbi Eliezer ('ve'Halachah ki'Devarav'). Which one is the exception?

(d)We ask why Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel sees fit to rule like him as well. Why can the reason not be to teach us that the ruling is like him regarding 'Achorei ha'Keilim' too?

14)

(a)Why, in fact does Shmuel see fit to rule like Rebbi Eliezer in all four cases?

(b)And why can we rely on the ruling of an Amora more than of a Tana?
