Question
1)
(a) What is a Ta'anas Besulim?
(b) Why did the Chachamim institute that a Besulah should marry on Wednesday?
(c) Why is it essential for the husband to take her to Beis-Din immediately if he has a Ta'anas Besulim?
(d) On which day does an Almanah get married?

2)
(a) We learn in a Mishnah in Af-al-Pi that a Besulah is given twelve months from the time of the betrothal to prepare for the wedding. What is the equivalent period given to an Almanah?
(b) What happens if the twelve-month period terminates and the Chasan postpones the wedding? What if he is a Kohen?
(c) How does Rav Yosef quoting Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel try to give this as a reason for 'Besulah Nises l'Yom ha'Revi'i ... '?
(d) He queried this however, because of the argument 'Marei d'Avraham, Tali Tanya b'de'Lo Tanya!' Rav Yosef might have been querying his Rebbe (we will elaborate shortly). How might he have been querying himself?

3)
(a) What is wrong with Rav Yosef exclamation 'Tali Tanya b'de'Lo Tanya!'?
(b) Then what does he really mean to ask?
(c) In fact, Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel is coming to answer why the Chachamim fixed Wednesday for a Besulah, and not Sunday. What is his answer?
(d) What can we now extrapolate from the Takanah of 'Shakdu', with regard to the wedding being postponed after the termination of the twelve-month period?
click for answer

4)
(a) What does Rav Yosef extrapolate from the above Din of Ones, with regard to the Din if Wednesday arrives and he or she is sick or she becomes a Nidah?
(b) Others are not so sure about this. Why might his illness on Wednesday be different than the twelve months falling on Monday?
(c) And even assuming that if ...
1. ... the Chasan is ill on the due date, he still has to sustain her, he might be exempt if she is the one to be ill. Why might he be obligated to sustain her even then?
2. ... she can say that her illness is tough luck on him, why will she not be able to say this if she becomes a Nidah in her fixed time?
(d) This might not apply however, if she becomes a Nidah outside her fixed time, seeing as it is then unpredictable. Why might she nevertheless not be able to claim that it is his tough luck?

2b----------------------------------------2b

5)
(a) Rav Acha tries to resolve the current She'eilah from the Mishnah in Af-al-Pi that we quoted earlier 'Higia Zman v'Lo Nis'u, Ochlos mi'she'Lo v'Ochlos bi'Terumah'. What does he infer from the Lashon "Lo Nis'u'?
(b) Why can the Tana not be referring to a case where the woman deliberately postponed the wedding? Then what is he referring to?
(c) Rav Ashi refutes Rav Acha's proof. How does he then explain the Tana's use of the word 'Lo Nis'u'?

6)
(a) To what is Rava referring when he says that Gitin is different? What do we infer from his statement?
(b) What principle serves as the basis of Rava's ruling?
(c) How do we try to learn Rava's principle from the Mishnah in Gitin 'Harei Zeh Gitech im Lo Ba'si mi'Kan v'ad Shneim Asar Chodesh u'Mes b'Toch Shneim Asar Chodesh Eino Get'?
(d) Why is the Get not valid if the husband dies during the twelve month period?
(e) How do we refute this proof? Which basic principle might the Tana be coming to teach us?
click for answer

7)
(a) What does the Reisha of the above Mishnah say with regard to a dying man who gives a Get to his wife and says 'This is your Get should I die' or 'This is your Get from after this illness', and then dies? How does this refute the previous contention?
(b) We conclude however, that there is still no proof from the Reisha of the Seifa (that 'Ein O'nes b'Gitin'), because maybe the Tana is coming to preclude from Raboseinu who hold in turn, like Rebbi Yosi. What does Rebbi Yosi say (with regard to 'Zmano shel Shtar')?
(c) So why can Rava's source not be the Seifa of the Seifa of the Mishnah 'me'Achshav, im Lo Ba'si mi'Kan v'ad Shneim Asar Chodesh, u'Mes b'Toch Shneim Asar Chodesh, Harei Zeh Get'. Is there any reason to differentiate between whether he dies or merely becomes ill?

8)
(a) What happened to the man who said that if he did not return within thirty days, the Get that he gave his wife would become valid?
(b) Why is there no proof for Rava from Shmuel, who ruled there that the Get was valid? Why is there no proof from there that 'Ein Ones b'Gitin'?
(c) Then what is Rava's source?
(d) His reason is because of Perutzos and because of Tzenu'os. What does he mean by ...
1. ... Perutzos?
2. ... Tzenu'os?
