Question
1)
(a) What does Rebbi Yehudah in a Beraisa say about the Pasuk in Bo "ve'Lo Sosiru Mimenu ad Boker, ve'ha'Noser Mimenu ad Boker, ba'Eish Tisrofu"?
(b) What does ...
1. ... Rebbi Yochanan extrapolate from Rebbi Yehudah's statement (what the Din would be if not for the fact that it is a La'v ha'Nitak la'Asei)?
2. ... Resh Lakish extrapolate from there?
(c) Resh Lakish disagrees with Rebbi Yochanan on the basis of another Beraisa, where the Rabbanan argue with Rebbi Yehudah over 'Hikah Zeh ve'Chazar ve'Hikah Zeh (or 'Kilel Zeh ... '). What is the case?
(d) The Tana Kama declares the son Chayav under all circumstances. What does Rebbi Yehudah say? Why is that?
(e) What has Resh Lakish now proved?
click for answer

2)
(a) Rebbi Yochanan on the other hand, disagrees with Resh Lakish on the basis of a statement of Rav Idi bar Avin ... in his name, quoting Rebbi Yehudah in the name of Rebbi Yossi Hagelili. What does he say about a 'La'v she'Ein bo Ma'aseh'?
(b) What, besides someone who declares a Temurah and someone who cures a fellow-Jew using the Name of Hash-m, is the exception to the rule?
(c) How do we reconcile our proof from there that Rebbi Yochanan argues with Resh Lakish about 'La'v she'Ein bo Ma'aseh' according to Rebbi Yehudah (in connection with a case of Shevu'ah), with the fact that Rebbi Yehudah himself lists 'Nishba' among the exceptions?
(d) Seeing as in fact, the initial Beraisa (regarding "Lo Sosiru") implies that Rebbi Yehudah ascribes Malkos both to a 'La'v she'Ein bo Ma'aseh' and to a 'Hasra'as Safek', how do we reconcile it with ...
1. ... Resh Lakish's Beraisa ('Hikah Zeh ve'Chazar ve'Hikah Zeh'), where he holds that 'Hasra'as Safek' is Patur?
2. ... Rebbi Yochanan's 'Beraisa' ('Kol Lo Sa'aseh she'ba'Torah ... '), where he holds that 'La'v she'Ein bo Ma'aseh' is Patur?
click for answer

3)
(a) Rebbi Yehudah learns in the Mishnah (later) 'ha'Notel Eim al ha'Banim 'Lokeh ve'Eino Meshale'ach'. Why is that?
(b) On what grounds do the Rabbanan disagree with him?
(c) The Mishnah concludes 'Zeh ha'K'lal, Kol Mitzvos Lo Sa'aseh she'Yesh bah Kum Asei, Ein Chayavin Alav'. What did Rebbi Yochanan ...
1. ... say about that?
2. ... say to Rebbi Elazar when he asked him what the second case was?
click for answer

4)
(a) Rebbi Elazar established the second case of 'Bitlo' as the Mishnah of 'Oneis she'Giresh' (that we discussed on the previous Daf). What is the problem with that Mishnah?
(b) Why can we not establish the case where ...
1. ... the woman died?
2. ... he killed her?
3. ... he accepted Kidushin on her behalf from a another man (as Rav Shimi from Neherda'a suggested)?
(c) On what grounds do we reject the suggestion that it speaks where, when he divorced her, he declared publicly (in front of ten people) that he would never take her back (a Neder which is not subject to annulment, in which case he would never be able to remarry her)?
(d) How do we then establish the case of 'Bitlo', based on a statement of Ameimar? What did Ameimar say to differentiate between a 'Neder shi'Hudar be'Rabim' and a 'Neder al Da'as Rabim'?
(e) Seeing as he is obligated to take her back, on what basis is such a Neder valid (see Hagahos ha'Bach 3)?
click for answer

5)
(a) How do we explain the fact that Rebbi Yochanan confines the Din of Malkos by Bitlo, to 'Shilu'ach ha'Kein' and 'Oneis', and does not include 1. the case of 'Gezel', where the Torah writes in Vayikra "Lo Sigzol' and ''Ve'heishiv es ha'Gezeilah', and returning a Mashkon ("Lo Savo el Beiso La'vot Avoto" and 2. That of "Hashev Tashiv lo es he'Avot" [in Ki Seitzei])?
(b) We then ask from the Mashkon of a Ger. What is the case?
(c) Why would we have thought that this should be any different than the Mashkon of a Yisrael?
(d) What do we answer?

16b----------------------------------------16b

6)
(a) We also ask why Rebbi Yochanan omits Pe'ah, by which the Torah writes in Emor "Lo Sechaleh Pe'as Sadcha ... ", and "le'Ani ve'la'Ger Ta'azov Osam". According to the Beraisa, what must one do, if one failed to leave Pe'ah from the standing corn or even from the sheaves?
(b) What additional obligation comes into effect, once he has made 'Miru'ach'?
(c) Rebbi Yishmael goes even further. What does say?
(d) How will 'Bitlo' then apply, according to ...
1. ... the Rabbanan?
2. ... Rebbi Yishmael?
click for answer

7)
(a) We therefore conclude that the second case of Bitlo referred to by Rebbi Yochanan is Pe'ah. On what grounds do we retract from our original supposition, that it is Oneis, where the man made a Neder al Da'as Rabim? Why do we no longer consider that 'Bitlo'?
(b) And we compare it to the case of a children's Rebbe. Why did Rav Acha initially depose him with a Neder al Da'as Rabim?
(c) Then how could Ravina reinstate him?

8)
(a) What does Rav Yehudah say about someone who eats a cabbage-worm?
(b) All insects are subject to two sets of Malkos, both in Shemini "Al Teshaktzu es Nafshoseichem" and "ve'Lo Sitam'u Bahem". How many additional sets of Malkos will a person receive for eating ...
1. ... a water insect?
2. ... an ant?
3. ... a hornet?
(c) Why do we not add one set of Malkos for the Pasuk in Kedoshim "ve'Lo Seshaktzu es Nafshoseichem"?
(d) Why is one Chayav for eating an ant, seeing as it is smaller than a ke'Zayis?
click for answer

9)
(a) What does Rav Acha'i say about someone who does not relieve himself when he needs to?
(b) To whom does Rav Bibi bar Abaye apply the same La'v?
(c) Rabah bar Rav Huna say about someone who crushes nine ants and adds one live one to make up a ke'Zayis, and then eats them? How many sets of Malkos will receive?
(d) How can the live ant combine with the nine dead ones to make up the Shiur?
click for answer

10)
(a) Rabah Amar Rebbi Yochanan adds that the same will apply even to two ants plus the live one. What does Rav Yosef say?
(b) How is it possible to explain that the Amora'im do not argue?
click for answer

11)
(a) Rav rules that one receives Malkos for eating Tevel of Ma'aser Rishon. What is the Chidush?
(b) This is also the opinion of Rebbi Yossi in a Beraisa. What does Rebbi Yossi say about someone who eats crops from which Terumah was taken, but not Ma'aser Rishon, Ma'aser Sheini or Ma'aser Ani?
(c) What does Rebbi Yossi learn from the Gezeirah-Shavah "bi'She'arecha" ("ve'Achlu bi'She'arecha ve'Save'u" in Ki Savo) "bi'She'arecha" ("Lo Suchal Le'echol bi'She'arecha" in Re'ei)?
(d) How does he learn it from there?
click for answer

12)
(a) In the Mishnah in D'mai, Rebbi Eliezer holds that one does not even need to designate Ma'aser Ani of D'mai. What is D'mai?
(b) Why did Yochanan Kohen Gadol institute it?
(c) What do the Rabbanan say?
click for answer

13)
(a) How does Rav Yosef attempt to explain the Machlokes?
(b) On what grounds does Abaye refute Rav Yosef's explanation?
(c) According to Abaye, Rebbi Eliezer does not suspect the Amei ha'Aretz of not separating Ma'aser Ani. What makes Ma'aser Ani easier that ...
1. ... Ma'aser Sheini?
2. ... Ma'aser Rishon, seeing as it like Ma'aser Ani is Chulin?
(d) On what grounds do the Rabbanan then disagree with Rebbi Eliezer?
