Perek Almanah l'Kohen Gadol

1)

(a)Our Mishnah now discusses Nichsei Milug and Nichsei Tzon Barzel. What is the difference between the two?

(b)Is a husband obligated to feed his wife's Avdei Milug?

(c)If a Kohen Gadol marries an Almanah, why are Avdei Tzon Barzel permitted to eat Terumah, but not Avdei Mi?

(d)Is there any difference (with regard to eating Terumah) between the Avdei Milug and the Avdei Tzon Barzel of ...

1. ... a bas Yisrael who marries a Kohen?

2. ... a bas Kohen who marries a Yisrael?

2)

(a)What does the Beraisa learn from the Pasuk in Emor ...

1. ... "v'Kohen ki Yikneh Nefesh (Kinyan Kaspo) Hu Yochal Bo"?

2. ... "v'Kohen ki Yikneh Nefesh Kinyan Kaspo Hu Yochal Bo"?

(b)Why do we need a Pasuk to include Eved she'Kanah Avadim"? Why do we not just say that 'Mah she'Kanah Eved Kanah Rabo' (whatever a slave acquires, belongs automatically to his master)?

(c)What problem does this Beraisa pose with the Avdei Milug of an Almanah l'Kohen Gadol in our Mishnah?

(d)How do we initially try to resolve this problem?

3)

(a)In view of what we just learned, why should an Almanah l'Kohen Gadol be any different than a Kohen who is an Arel or who is Tamei, whose Avadim are permitted to eat, even though they themselves are not?

(b)We query this from a Mamzer, who is not allowed to eat, yet he causes his grandmother to eat. What is the case? What would be the Din if he were not a Mamzer?

(c)How does Ravina answer the Kashya? How does he differentiate between a Mamzer and an Arel on the one hand and Avdei Milug on the other?

4)

(a)Rava disagrees; according to him, min ha'Torah, the Avdei Milug of an Almanah l'Kohen Gadol are permitted to eat Terumah. Why did the Chachamim forbid it?

(b)Rav Ashi too, ascribes the prohibition to a Rabbinical decree. On what grounds do we refute his initial suggestion, that it is because she might continue to feed them after her husband dies?

(c)We conclude that Rav Ashi is referring to - a bas Kohen who married an Almanah, and whose Avadim we forbid to eat Terumah. What is the reason for the decree?

(d)Then why does the Tana not specifically state that the decree is confined to an Almanah who is a bas Kohen, but not to a bas Yisrael?

5)

(a)If a divorced woman claims back the original objects of Nichsei Tzon Barzel, and her husband insists on paying her money, Rav Yehudah rules that the Din is on her side. Why is that?

(b)What does Rebbi Ami say?

(c)What snag does Rav Safra find in Rebbi Ami's reasoning in the words 'Ho'il v'Chayav b'Acharayusan'?

6)

(a)What does the Mishnah in Terumos say (with regards to feeding Terumah) about ...

1. ... a Yisrael who hired a cow from a Kohen?

2. ... a Kohen who hired a cow from a Yisrael?

(b)How do we now explain the fact that a Kohen may feed Avdei Tzon Barzel, Terumah (precisely because he is responsible for them), whereas a Kohen who hired a cow from a Yisrael may not?

(c)The Seifa of the Mishnah in Terumos, which speaks about 'Sham Parah', conforms with our Din of Avdei Tzon Barzel. What does 'Sham Parah' mean?

(d)What distinction does the Tana make there between Yisrael she'Sham Parah mi'Kohen, and Kohen she'Sham Parah mi'Yisrael?

7)

(a)At whose Derashah were Rabah and Rav Yosef sitting when they cited Beraisos to prove both the opinions of Rav Yehudah and of Rebbi Ami?

(b)What does the Beraisa that supports the opinion of ...

1. ... Rebbi Ami say with regard to a husband or a wife who knocks out a tooth or who blinds the eye, of an Eved of Tzon Barzel?

2. ... Rav Yehudah say with regard to the husband selling Nichsei Tzon Barzel?

(c)What does the latter add to the ruling of Nichsei Tzon Barzel in this regard?

(d)When a case came before Raban Shimon ben Gamliel, what did he rule with regard to Nichsei Tzon Barzel that one of them sold without permission from the other?

8)

(a)On what grounds did Rav Nachman rule like Rav Yehudah (that she is entitled to her objects in preference to cash), despite the Beraisa that supports Rebbi Ami?

(b)What did Rava rule when the heirs took a coat of Nichsei Tzon Barzel after their father's death and placed it over their dead father's body?

(c)How does this ruling appear to contradict Rava Amar Rav Nachman's previous ruling?

(d)In reply, Rav Kahana explained to Na'na'i (Rava's grandson) that even Rav Yehudah would concede that, in this case, the widow would have no claim. Why is that?

9)

(a)The above ruling of Rava conforms with his own ruling regarding the three things that remove Shibud. Which three things?
