Question: What is quarrels? (Even women who love their husbands sometimes quarrel, but this does not suggest that she would lie in order to forbid herself to him!)

Answer #1 (R. Ba citing R. Chiya bar Ashi): [If she says] 'you were not Mekadesh me and you did not divorce me and I was never your wife', this is not quarrels;

[If she says] 'you were Mekadesh me and you divorced me, but you did not give to me my Kesuvah', this is quarrels.

R. Ba said [R. Chiya bar Ashi's answer] in front of R. Chiya bar Aba.

Rebuttal (and Answer #2): No, my son - rather, even if she demands Vadai to be divorced [also this is quarrels].

(Mishnah - R. Yehudah): Always she is believed only if she returns crying and her clothes are torn.

Question (against R. Yehudah): Exert yourself [and you will find the answer]! If one [of his wives] was crying and one was not crying - do you forbid [the latter] and permit [the former]?!

Question (against R. Yehudah - R. Chananyah, the colleague of Rabanan): Exert yourself [and you will find the answer]! If her son went overseas and died there - I say that perhaps she recalls [her son], and cries [over him! This does not show that her husband died!]

(Mishnah - Beis Hillel): We heard [that she is believed] only when she comes from the Katzir (grain harvest).

Beis Shamai: It is the same whether she comes from the Katzir, the olive [harvest], or from overseas. Chachamim merely discussed a typical case.

Beis Hillel retracted to rule like Beis Shamai.

(Gemara - Beis Shamai (to Beis Hillel)): The entire year is Katzir!

Question: How is this (that the entire year is harvest)?

Answer: When the barley harvest ends, the wheat harvest begins. The wheat harvest ends, and the grape harvest begins. The grape harvest ends, and the olive harvest begins. It is found that the entire year is harvest.

They fulfilled their words (Beis Hillel agreed to Beis Shamai.)

Question: Why [did Beis Hillel initially think that it is only] Katzir?

Answer #1 (R. Mana): Death is common then, for the sun beats on a man's head only at the time of Katzir;

Source: "Va'Yigdal ha'Yeled va'Yhi ha'Yom va'Yetzei El Aviv El ha'Kotzrim va'Yomer El Aviv Roshi Roshi va'Yomer El ha'Na'ar Sa'ehu El Imo va'Yisa'ehu va'Yvi'ehu El Imo va'Yeshev Al Birkeha Ad ha'Tzaharayim va'Yamos."

Answer #2 (Rabanan): Snakes are common then.

(R. Yosi bei R. Bun): "Sakosah l'Roshi b'Yom Nashek" - (David prayed that Hash-m guard him) on the day when summer is Noshek (touches) winter.

Alternatively, "b'Yom Nashek" is the weapons of Gog.

Alternatively, it is the day when two worlds touch - this world ends, and the world to come enters.
