KESUVOS 10
Question Mark
Ask A
Question
1)
(a) Rav Nachman too, cites Shmuel like Rav Yehudah did (with regard to 'Pesach Pasu'ach'). What do we mean when we ask 'Im Ken, Mah Ho'ilu Chachamim b'Takanasan'?
(b) What does Rava reply to that?

2)
(a) The Tana Kama in the Beraisa ascribes the fact that a woman may only claim her Kesuvah from Ziburis to the fact it is merely a Kenas Chachamim. What is 'Ziburis'?

(c) What does Raban Shimon ben Gamliel say?

3)
(a) What does the Torah mean when it writes in Mishpatim (in connection with a man who seduces a woman) "Kesef Yishkol k'Mohar ha'Besulos"?
(b) What does the Tana Kama of another Beraisa learn from the fact that the Torah uses the word "Mohar"?
(c) What does Raban Shimon ben Gamliel say?
(d) To resolve the contradiction between the two statements of Raban Gamliel, we switch the opinions in the second Beraisa. How do we know to switch the opinions in the second Beraisa, and not the first?
click for answer

4)
(a) The Tana Kama in the Mishnah in 'Shnei Dainei' maintains that, whether a man married his wife in Eretz Yisrael and divorced her in Keputki (where the value of the same coins is higher) or vice-versa, he has to pay her according to the value of the coins of Eretz Yisrael. What does Raban Shimon ben Gamliel say?
(b) What is the basis of their Machlokes?
(c) Alternatively, we avoid switching opinions by establishing the second Beraisa all like Raban Shimon ben Gamliel. What do we add to the Beraisa to achieve this?

(a) How did Rav Nachman react to that man who claimed 'Pesach Pasu'ach Matzasi'?

(c) If, as Rav Nachman himself maintains, 'Pesach Pasu'ach' is believed, why did he sentence that man to Malkus?
(d) How does Rav Achai resolve the apparent contradiction in his two statements? Then why did Rav Nachman give him Malkus?

(b) What did he say to him, according to the second Lashon?
(c) And how did Raban Gamliel uphold a certain woman's claim that she was a Besulah, despite the lack of bloodstains, which seemed to substantiate the man's claim that she was not?

click for answer

9)
(a) There are two opinions as to whether Raban Gamliel ha'Zaken considered marrying such a woman a merit or a liability. He might consider it a Chov, because of Rebbi Chiya's statement. But in which regard would he consider it a Zechus?
(b) What did Rebbi do when a certain woman claimed she was still a Besulah, and that the lack of Dam Besulim was due to starvation?

(b) What happens in the latter case, should her second husband claim a Ta'anas Besulim?
click for answer

11)
(a) How does Rav Chana Bagdesa'ah explain the word 'Almanah'?
(b) How about ...
1. ... an Almanah from the Erusin (whose Kesuvah is two hundred Zuz)?

click for answer

12)

14)
(a) The Beraisa concludes by listing three unpleasant things that dates prevent; two of them are worries and stomach- sickness. What is the third?
(b) How do we initially reconcile Rav, who ruled that one should not issue rulings after having eaten dates (implying that dates are bad after a meal), with the above-mentioned Beraisa, which clearly maintains that dates are healthy after a meal?
(c) To what are dates similar in this regard?
(d) Alternatively, it is only before the meal that dates are unhealthy and when they intoxicate, but not after it. To what did Abaye's foster-mother compare dates ...

2. ... after the meal?
click for answer
