KIDUSHIN 48 - Sponsored by a generous grant from an anonymous donor. Kollel Iyun Hadaf is indebted to him for his encouragement and support and prays that Hash-m will repay him in kind.

1)
(a) We just established that neither Rebbi Meir ('Hiskadshi Li bi'Shtar Chov ... Mekudeshes') nor the Rabanan (' ... Einah Mekudeshes') hold like Rebbi ('Osiyos Niknos bi'Mesirah'), that they both hold like Rav Papa ('Tzarich Lemichtav K'ni Lach Hu v'Chol Shibudei'), and that they argue over Shmuel's Din ('ha'Mocher Shtar Chov la'Chaveiro, v'Chazar u'Machlo, Machul'). How is it be possible for Rebbi Meir to hold like Shmuel, and still to rule 'Mekudeshes'?
(b) Their Machlokes by Milveh Al Peh concerns Rav Huna Amar Rav. What does Rav Huna say regarding 'Ma'amad Sheloshtan'?
(c) What is then the Machlokes between Rebbi Meir and the Chachamim?

2)
(a) 'Hiskadshi Li bi'Shtar, Rebbi Meir Omer Einah Mekudeshes, v'Rebbi Elazar Omer Mekudeshes'. What do the Chachamim say?
(b) Does it make any difference whether the paper is worth a Perutah or not, according to ...
1. ... Rebbi Meir?
2. ... Rebbi Elazar?
(c) Why could the Tana of the Beraisa not be speaking about a Shtar Chov of others? What problem would that create with Rebbi Meir?
(d) So how do we initially try to establish the Beraisa? What do we try and prove with that?
click for answer

3)
(a) Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak therefore establishes the Beraisa by a Shtar Kidushin without witnesses. What is then the basis of the Machlokes between Rebbi Meir and Rebbi Elazar?
(b) What does 'Karsi' mean?
(c) And what is the reasoning behind the Chachamim's ruling?
(d) What if the paper is not worth a Perutah?

4)
(a) Alternatively, they argue over Reish Lakish's She'eilah regarding a Shtar Kidushin that iss written she'Lo Lishmah. What are the two sides of the She'eilah? Why might it be ...
1. ... Pasul?
2. ... Kosher?
(b) How does Reish Lakish himself conclude?
(c) Alternatively, both Tana'im hold like Reish Lakish. What then is the basis of their Machlokes?
(d) This too, is a Machlokes Amora'im. What is the reason ...
1. ... of Rava and Ravina who validate such a Shtar Kidushin?
2. ... of Rav Papa and Rav Sh'ravya who declare it void?
click for answer

5)
(a) If a woman asks a man to betroth her with the Shirin, Nezamin v'Taba'os that he makes for her, Rebbi Meir in a Beraisa validates the Kidushin as soon as they are completed. What are ...
1. ... Shirin?
2. ... Nezamin?
3. ... Taba'os?
(b) What do the Chachamim say?
(c) When the Chachamim say 'Ad she'Yagi'a Mamon l'Yadah', why can they not be referring to the finished product?

6)
(a) Assuming that they mean other money, how do we try to establish the Machlokes?
(b) What is the loan in this case?
(c) What are we trying to prove with this?
(d) How do we initially establish both opinions like Rav? How else might we explain Rebbi Meir, who says Mekudeshes?

7)
(a) We just established the Machlokes between Rebbi Meir and the Chachamim by whether the Sechirus only falls due at the end, or whether the hirer becomes obligated Perutah by Perutah. We subsequently suggest that both Tana'im might even hold ...
1. ... the latter possibility and ha'Mekadesh b'Milveh Einah Mekudeshes'. What then, is the basis of their Machlokes? What sort of craftsman are they arguing about?
2. ... that the craftsman does not acquire the vessel that he has made. What is then the basis of their Machlokes?
(b) The Tana Kama of another Beraisa differentiates between a man who betroths a woman 'bi'Sechar she'Asisi Imach' (in the past) and 'bi'Sechar she'E'eseh Imach' (in the future). On what grounds does he say ...
1. ... 'bi'Sechar she'Asisi Imach, Einah Mekudeshes'?
2. ... 'bi'Sechar she'E'eseh Imach, Mekudeshes'?
(c) Why does Rebbi Nasan then say that even in the latter case, she is not Mekudeshes?
(d) After agreeing with the statement of Rebbi Nasan, Rebbi adds 've'Im Hosif Lah Nofach mi'she'Lo, Mekudeshes'. What does Rebbi Nasan say? Why is that?

(b) A second Beraisa says 'Bo v'Lo Bameh she'Besocho'. What does a third Beraisa say?
(c) How do we reconcile the three Tana'im? In which case do we say ...
1. ... 'Bo u'Vameh she'Besocho'?
2. ... 'Bo v'Lo Bameh she'Besocho'?
3. ... 'Bameh she'Besocho v'Lo Bo'?

(a) Abaye tries to resolve this problem. He explained to his son that the Machlokes between the Tana Kama and Rebbi Shimon concerns a Shali'ach. What is the case? What is then the basis of their Machlokes?
(b) What is the problem with Abaye's explanation from the word ...
1. ... 'Hiskadshi Li'?
