Question
1)
(a) Now that it is possible to cancel the Shelichus of a Get, what if, instead of intercepting the Shali'ach, the husband ...
1. ... sends a Shali'ach after him to do so?
2. ... goes directly to his wife and informs her that the Shelichus is canceled?
3. ... sends his wife a Shali'ach to inform her that he has canceled the Shelichus?

2)
(a) All that we just learned applies after Raban Gamliel ha'Zaken's Takanah. What could a man do before the Takanah in addition to all the above?
(b) Why did Raban Gamliel institute such a Takanah? What was he worried about?

3)
(a) Why does the Tana write 've'Higi'a ba'Shali'ach', intimating that he met him by chance? Why did he not write 've'Higi'o' (meaning that he made a point of catching up with him)?
(b) And why did he find it necessary to add the case ...
1. ... 'O she'Shalach Acharav Shali'ach'?
2. ... 'Kadam Hu Etzel Ishto'?
3. ... 'O she'Shalach Etzlah Shali'ach'?
(c) And why did he need to teach us the Seifa 'Im mi'she'Higi'ah Get l'Yadah, Shuv Eino Yachol Le'vatlah'? Why is this not obvious?

4)
(a) The Beraisa differentiates between the Lashon 'Batel Hu' and 'I Efshi Bo' on the one hand, and 'Pasul Hu' and 'Eino Get' on the other. Why is the former pair considered a valid cancellation, whereas the latter pair are not?
(b) Rabah bar Avuha says that if, after receiving a gift, the recipient declares 'Matanah Zu Mevuteles', 'Tibatel' or 'I Efshi Bah', the gift stands. What is the difference between these cases and 'Beteilah Hi', where the gift is indeed canceled?
(c) In the latter case, seeing as the gift is now in his domain, on what basis is he believed to say that he never received the gift, even if 'Beteilah Hi' does imply the past tense? Why should the recipient not require witnesses?
(d) How does Abaye reconcile this apparent discrepancy? Why is it that by Get 'Batel Hu' implies the future, whereas by Matanah, it implies the past?

32b----------------------------------------32b

5)
(a) In which regard did Abaye say that a Shali'ach Matanah is like a Shali'ach ha'Get?
(b) Ravina found Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak leaning on the door-post, seemingly flummoxed by the She'eilah whether 'Batel' will be effective without adding 'Hu'. What is the outcome of this She'eilah?
(c) What is the difference cited by Rav Sheshes (or the Beraisa) between the Lashon 'Get Zeh Lo Yo'il', 'Lo Yatir' ... 'Lo Yegaresh', 'Yehei Cheres', 'Yehei k'Cheres' on the one hand, and 'Get Zeh Eino Mo'il', 'Eino Matir' ... 'Eino Megaresh', 'Cheres Hu', 'k'Cheres Hu' on the other?
(d) Ravina asked Rav Acha Brei d'Rava (or the latter asked Rav Ashi) what the Din will be if one said 'Harei Hu Cheres'. How did the latter reply with a straightforward proof from Hekdesh (where 'Harei Hu Hekdesh' is effective [as it also is by Hefker])? What did he prove from there?

6)
(a) We ask whether, once the husband has canceled the Get, he is permitted to use it at a later stage. What is the basis of the She'eilah?
(b) Rav Nachman permits him to do so. What does Rav Sheshes say?
(c) Like whom is the Halachah?
click for answer

7)
(a) What does Rebbi Yochanan say about a man who gives a woman money betrothing her after thirty days, and then cancels the Kidushin?
(b) Seeing as we rule like Rebbi Yochanan in this case, and the Kidushin is Batel, how can we rule like Rebbi Nachman, who maintains that the Get is not Batel? Why should the Get be any different than the Kidushin?
click for answer

8)
(a) Before Raban Gamliel's Takanah, it was possible to cancel the Get in front of a Beis-Din. According to Rav Nachman, the Beis-Din may comprise two people. What does Rav Sheshes say?
(b) If, as Rav Nachman maintains, two people are also considered a Beis-Din, why do we normally require three?
